E Shoot in New York City
March 9, 2010 // Engagement

Sarah and Andy, who live in New York, have planned an October wedding in Pinehurst, NC. For their engagement shoot we started out on the sidewalks of their neighborhood in Tribeca, which is located between Soho and Lower Manhattan.

The scene above so captures the essence of a NY sidewalk.

E Shoot with Jessica & Scott
December 23, 2009 // Engagement
43e 0103.JPG


Jessica and Scott were recently engaged and they are planning a November 2010 wedding. We decided on downtown Richmond (in the snow) as the location for their E Shoot. In the photo above, I captured the couple walking through the snow on the grounds of the State Capital. You can see the historic Bell Tower in the the background. The blanket covering of snow provided a source for soft winter light. 

Later, we would head south through downtown Richmond and we concluded our shoot at The James Center - which was well decorated for the Holidays.

E Shoot downtown Richmond.
December 8, 2009 // Engagement

An E Shoot with Rebecca Simmons and Timothy Carr - we are shooting their wedding on Saturday, January 30, 2010. We chose the Canal Walk along the James River in downtown Richmond as a location for their Engagement pictures. In the background is the bridge to Brown's Island and just behind the bridge is the brand new, Riverfront Corporate Headquarters building for MeadWestvaco. The ultra modern design of the building really accented the look of this photo.
