Beau & Jane’s Wedding Day | Maryland Wedding Photographer

November 13, 2025

Beau & Jane’s wedding story is one that truly stayed with me — and even though their day took place in Augusta, Georgia, it represents the heart of why I photograph weddings today here in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.

Before relocating to the DMV, I had the honor of capturing Beau & Jane’s intimate wedding at the historic Partridge Inn in Augusta, GA. Their story is a reminder that love is worth waiting for — and that the most meaningful moments happen when you least expect them.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Beau & Jane first met at the Partridge Inn on July 14, 2018. From the beginning, their connection was rooted in resilience, hope, and a shared belief in love — even after life had tested them both. Their story deeply moved me, and it continues to shape how I photograph couples today.

I’ve seen many people close themselves off to the idea of long-lasting love because of past heartbreak. Beau & Jane chose a different path. They trusted love again — and it led them back to the very place where their journey began.

A Full-Circle Wedding Day

Exactly one year later, on July 14, 2019, Beau & Jane were married at the Partridge Inn — the same place where they first met. Surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, their wedding day felt deeply meaningful and full of gratitude.

One portrait from that day remains one of my all-time favorites: Beau & Jane with their grandchildren. It symbolizes legacy, hope, and the beautiful life they’ve built together. In one frame, it tells the story of love across generations.

As one of my favorite films says:

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

From Georgia to the DMV

While this wedding took place in Georgia, it represents the same heart and storytelling approach I now bring to every wedding I photograph in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. Whether your celebration is an intimate backyard wedding, a historic venue, or a luxury ballroom, my goal is always the same — to capture your story with honesty, beauty, and emotion.

Beau & Jane, thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your love continues to inspire the work I create today.



Jason & Brittany’s Engagement Session | Maryland Engagement Photographer

Jason & Brittany’s Engagement Session | Maryland Engagement Photographer

November 12, 2025

Jason & Brittany’s engagement session at Redcliffe Plantation in Beech Island, South Carolina is one of those shoots that reminds me why I fell in love with photography — and why I now bring this same storytelling approach to couples across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.

Before relocating to the DMV, I had always dreamed of photographing a session at Redcliffe Plantation. It’s a location I frequently recommended for engagement, maternity, and family sessions, but many clients hesitated because of the drive from Augusta. After seeing other photographers in the CSRA share their work there, I knew I had to experience it for myself.

When Brittany and I first began planning her engagement session with Jason, I suggested Redcliffe Plantation — and she instantly said yes. I was thrilled that they trusted my vision, and the results truly exceeded expectations.

A Picturesque Winter Engagement Session

Even in early December, Redcliffe Plantation remains stunning. Much of the foliage is still green, the historic magnolia trees keep their leaves, and the white columns and sweeping grounds create a romantic, timeless backdrop.

Jason & Brittany were a dream to work with. From the very beginning, they trusted my creative direction and were always open to trying new poses and locations, whether or not they would make the final gallery. That trust allowed us to create natural, emotional, and cinematic images that tell their story beautifully.

From South Carolina to the DMV

While this engagement session took place in South Carolina, it reflects the same care, creativity, and attention to detail I now offer to couples planning their engagement sessions in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.Whether your session is at a historic estate, a waterfront park, or a downtown city location, my goal is to create images that feel genuine, romantic, and timeless.

Jason & Brittany, thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your session will always be one of my favorites.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their session.

Wedding at Sacred Heart Cultural Center | Wedding Photography

Daniel & Celine's Wedding

 

Daniel and Celine were married on February 9th at the historic Sacred Heart Cultural Center. The church was built in 1897 and held its first mass in 1900! Unfortunately, due to a number of factors the last mass was held in Sacred Heart on July 3, 1971. The building was reopened in 1987. The structure now serves as a unique venue for social and cultural events such as art exhibitions, theatrical events, an annual Garden Festival, choral concerts and is rented continuously throughout the year for celebrations, and civic functions. 

This was my first time photographing any event at the Cultural Center. It was absolutely beautiful and a great location to have a ceremony and reception for your wedding. Daniel and Celine are currently living in Taiwan and this would be their second wedding for Daniel’s family and friends. They were both so easy going throughout the day, it really helped bring out more of my artistic side. Usually a wedding has multiple locations with time restraints, this brings common pressures as a wedding photographer which I have come to expect and work well under. However, there was little to no pressure during the Eyrich Wedding and I couldn’t have been more appreciative of it.

One take away during the wedding was when I began getting family ready for portrait shots, I was told there were 11 siblings in Daniel’s family! Posing them all in one big shot was a challenge but I think I knocked it out of the park. Also, his family can really dance! They were doing many coordinated dances as you will see in the photos below. I really enjoyed being a spectator to this.

I want to wish Daniel and Celine many years of love and companionship. No matter where they are their love will shine bright to those who know them and are touched by them.

Here are some photos of their day:

Baby Kaleb has arrived! | Maryland Family Photography

My last blog entry covered my experience capturing Heather’s maternity session with her beautiful family. Heather told me once the baby was born she would like for me to capture lifestyle and portraits of the baby once it came into our world. Now, I do not specialize in newborn photography. But I love challenging myself as a photographer. I don’t turn down opportunities to grow and learn. There are many people in my area who only photograph newborn photography and their work is absolutely phenomenal. I researched as much as I could so that I would be able to recognize the best conditions when working with a newborn; to make sure they are safe and comfortable……this of course is the key to success!

Baby Kaleb was amazing, he was very photogenic and ready to take photos….as long as we kept him warm. His two older brothers had me laughing throughout the session once again. I had them release all the silly energy they had to offer before we got down to serious poses and it worked like a charm. I truly appreciate Heather trusting me to capture this special time in her family’s life and that she appreciates my work. I never take for granted when a client tells me how much they love what I do behind the camera.

Here are a few photos from the day including the blooper/silly outtakes!




Wedding at The Enterprise Mill | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Nick & Calen Matos Wedding Day


This was my first Wedding at Enterprise Mill Events & Catering. I arrived early to capture Nick seeing Calen for the first time prior to the ceremony at Enterprise Mill. I absolutely LOVE first looks before a wedding ceremony. It gives me a chance to capture an authentic moment that can be sometimes difficult during a typical ceremony.

After the first look I captured family portraits and photos with Calen’s bridesmaids. I also captured some shots of Nick, his best man and son Aiden channeling his inner Man of Steel!

I was ready for the ceremony at this point of the festivities. Enterprise Mill Events & Catering has a gorgeous outdoor brick gazebo structure that let’s in ample amounts of beautiful natural light, but I had my Profoto B10 flash heads ready in case things got a bit too dark. Luckily, I didn’t need them here. Nick & Calen had written out their own vows, It was very moving. Especially when Calen addressed their son Aiden, completely heart warming moment.

Because it was a chilly February day in Augusta, GA and Calen had braved most of it in her stunning wedding dress we opted to do couples portraits indoors. No problem there, Enterprise Mill has a lot of character inside from artistic brick walls to a beautiful sliding wooden door. I was able to get some great shots from those textures and my Magmod modifiers. I am always practicing different “light recipes” because you never know the limitations you may run up against during a wedding day.

Once our portrait session was over it was time for me to switch gears and get ready for the reception. This is usually my favorite part of a wedding. Everybody by now has eaten appetizers and have had a few drinks. I usually setup my lights in strategic places to capture candid moments from the entrance, first dance, speeches and guests dancing the night away. Enterprise Mill is definitely dark inside so relying on your flash photography is critical here. My favorite picture has to be the father & daughter dance with Calen and her dad. I caught a moment I always strive to capture if ever given the opportunity and it finally happened. It’s why I do what I do…….I love wedding photography!

Nick & Calen started their first dance with “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls and ended the night with a last dance “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Kina Grannis. My wife Julianna was my assistant during the wedding and we had a blast helping Nick & Calen with their special day. I wish nothing but lasting love & happiness for them and can’t thank them enough for having us be a small part of it all.

Laura & Scott’s Maternity Session | Maryland Maternity Photographer

I met with Laura & Scott at the lovely Savannah Rapids Pavilion Park. Laura, who is 9 months pregnant really wanted to capture maternity photos before giving birth to their baby girl. Time was not of the essence so we had the session as quickly as we could on a gorgeous Saturday morning. During our session I learned that Laura is quite the athlete, she’s accomplished several triathlons; she’s even going to attempt another one in September as her personal goal after she gives birth. How awesome is that?

I wish Laura & Scott many blessings to come with the arrival of their newest addition to their family. Here are some of my favorite pictures from our session.

Engagement Session at Brick Pond Park | Engagement Photography


Before any engagement shoot I like to go over the many options with my clients including locations, themes, and what they want out of an engagement session. I seek to carry out their vision with my distinctive IMP style as I help tell the story of this new chapter in their lives with photographs.

Ashley & Eugene met in high school and were the best of friends before they fell in love with each other. For location, they choose the nature-filled Brick Pond Park. I photograph many sessions here and I believe my clients fall in love with the sweeping natural vistas that it offers.

Because it’s June and temperatures hit the high 90s before noon, I recommended we start our session in the morning. I suggested starting at 8am or 9am, but that proved to not be early enough. By 9:30am on the day of our shoot, temperatures had already reached the mid 80s and we felt the unrelenting heat and humidity as it continued to build. This unfortunately cut our engagement shoot short. Even with the short amount of time, I believe I captured the love and passion Ashley and Eugene have for each other. Some couples have trouble warming up to having a camera nearby while staring deep into each others' eyes, but not Ashley & Eugene! From the moment I asked them to pose, they shared a view into their warmth and love for each other as if the camera wasn’t there at all. I may have even had to pry them apart to keep our shoot going --! I love giving my clients the best experience possible and hope they will enjoy their images from a hot but beautiful morning. I look forward to capturing their wedding in November!



Engagement Session at Hammonds Ferry | Maryland Engagement Photographer

Hello all,

I finally got to have a photoshoot at the beautiful location of Hammonds Ferry in North Augusta with Chris and Jen.  Whenever a client books a session with me I truly want to give them a unique experience.  I always suggest a new location because not only does it provide my client with a different scenic backdrop, but it always sparks my creativity and forces me to think of new ideas.  I was very pleased that Chris and Jen wanted to capture their photos at Hammonds Ferry and I believe my creativity came out in full swing with their images.  Chris & Jen were a pleasure to be around.  They were willing to try anything I asked of them, no matter how silly it may have seemed.  They completely trusted my judgement and I believe it shows in the images.  If you're ever in Hammonds Ferry for a photoshoot go grab some dinner at Manuel's Bread Cafe or Larder, thank me later!  Without further Ado.....here are some of the images we captured that day!

 

Eugene & Ashley’s Wedding Day | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Eugene & Ashley were married on November 2nd at The Boat House Community Center. The venue features open windows surrounding the entire event floor — no shortage of natural light to illuminate the celebration! Eugene & Ashley were so fun to be around the entire day; they exuded confident assurance as they prepared to say their vows in front of family and friends who love them dearly. Ashley had the coolest wedding shoes I’ve ever had the pleasure of capturing….a pair of custom Chuck Taylors to commemorate their wedding day! I wish Eugene & Ashley a lifetime of happiness & love.

Here is their wedding story through my lens…..

James & Katrina's Engagement Session | Maryland Engagement Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the honor of capturing the engagement session for James & Katrina featuring their daughter Serenity.  They both decided on having the session at Pendleton King Park.  I had shot an engagement session there before, but I had never notice the lovely garden there that is just perfect for taking photos!  I really love working with couples prior to their big wedding day.  It gives me an opportunity to not only get to know them better but work with them and gain their trust and confidence.

As we began conversing and walking to our first shot location I asked Katrina where her engagement ring was?  The next few moments were of utter shock as Katrina had realized she had forgotten to put on her engagement ring and had accidentally left it home.  I really care about giving the best images and care to my clients.  So I told her I would wait for her to go back home and get her engagement ring.  In the meantime, I would warm up my photo taking skills on her youngest sister (who was there to chaperon) and daughter.  When Katrina came back we were ready to go.  The rest of the engagement shoot was fun and relaxing.  James & Katrina were really fun to be around and had no objections trying out any photo ideas I might have had whether they worked out or not.

I can’t wait for September when I capture their wedding at The Red Oak Manor in Harlem, GA.  In the meantime, check out a few images from their engagement session! 

Kelley Family Portrait Session | Maryland Family Photographer

The Kelley family portrait session was a relaxed and fun experience capturing genuine moments and natural connections. As a Maryland family photographer, I focus on creating timeless images that feel authentic and emotional, whether we’re shooting in Odenton, Annapolis, or the greater Washington DC area.

Heather had contacted me just days into the new year asking if I was available to capture her maternity/family portraits. She was 34 weeks into her pregnancy and really wanted some memorable photos she can cherish with her family. I was honored to be asked and was excited to capture this special time in all of their lives.

We began our photoshoot at the nature filled Brick Pond Park, I really love having photoshoots there! It has such a rustic feel to it and I always come up with new ideas, it’s never a dull moment there. Heather bought along her husband and her two energetic and well behaved sons. We all had so much fun during the shoot and her sons agreed to take any type of portraits their mother requested as long as they could take some fun silly shots. As you will see below they are quite funny! I especially like the “Bieber” impression photo hahaha.

In closing, I want to wish the Kelley family many blessings during this time and hope to capture their new addition to the family when the time comes.

Here are some of the photos we captured that day!
