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:

Senior Portrait Sessions | Maryland Senior Photographer

Congratulations to the senior class of 2020! Though the start of 2020 has been rough, I appreciate that I had an opportunity to shed a little light into the lives of these graduating seniors with my photography. I am glad I could capture their achievement and help reveal their enthusiasm for the bright futures ahead of them. This year I had the privilege to commemorate this moment for three seniors from Evans High School, Grovetown High School & Ridgeview High School in Columbia, SC.

 

I met Gabriel and his mother Atiya at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion for his senior photography session. Atiya had a keen eye for detail and immediately noticed a beautiful rock wall near the headgates that lent itself to some of the best photo backdrops I’ve ever taken there. Gabriel graduated from Evans High School and is on his way to the Marine Corps, following in the footsteps of his mother. Now, not only will Atiya see Gabriel as her son, but also as her brother as he begins to serve with honor, courage, and commitment.

 

A few years ago, my neighbor Destiny hired me to capture Christmas photos of her children. Since then, she’s tried to set a few dates to capture family photos, but something always comes up. A few weeks into May, she reached out to me to capture graduation photos for her son DJ. For once, everything went as planned, and we did a full senior graduation photo session at the Augusta Riverwalk. I love this location because it has so much to offer including creative landscaping, an amphitheater, and the Savannah River. DJ graduated from Riverside High School and I wish him all the success in the world.

 

We took Yasmine’s senior graduation photos at the lovely and picturesque Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site. I always recommend this location to clients willing to drive a bit outside of the Augusta area. The extraordinary trees and classical southern architecture make the drive to South Carolina well worth the time. In addition to the standard two-outfit cap and gown and casual senior session, we also captured Yasmine in her prom dress. Unfortunately, the senior students of 2020 missed out on their prom due to COVID-19 restrictions. I hope Yasmine can look back on these photos and always see how stunning she looked in her prom dress. Yasmine graduated from Grovetown High School and is heading to UGA (Go Dawgs!). Seeing the abundance of honor cords she earned, I know she will apply the same strong work ethic she had through high school to everything she does. The sky is the limit for Yasmine.

 

As much as these seniors enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate their achievements in photos, I may have appreciated the experience more than they did. Being around them gave me a sense of hope amidst these dark times in which we are currently living. Good luck and may God bless the Class of 2020!

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!



India Day! | Maryland Event Photography

Hello everyone!  Back in Mid-August I was hired to photograph the India Day event at the Maxwell Theater.  Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not only a professional photographer but also an IT professional.  I have found these fields both share a central truth; the learning never ends!  Just when you think you've mastered one area of photography, you quickly realize there is another to learn.  I think that is what keeps me going.  I am not sure I could do something that couldn't provide change or growth.  

 

Capturing the performances for India Day would be an event the like of which I had never done before.  I couldn't use flash and the auditorium lighting would be dim and constantly shifting for the various performances.  I planned for this event in detail: ...what will my camera settings look like the day of the event? ...how will I know which parts of the performances will be the most relevant? ...how many photos do I need to capture?  Much like shooting a wedding, it's great to have a plan but nothing can fully prepare you for a new experience.  You simply have to be focused and locked in; like a musical instrument, you must know your camera inside out.  

 

I made many mistakes and learned a great deal with this event.  One takeaway from India Day that will help me going forward is shot selection.  I took way too many photos (almost a movie of each performance!) and the client only needed a few of each set.  Both dance and sports photography require anticipating key moments and working for clarity in difficult shooting conditions.  Clearly communicating with clients about what outcomes they desire from the photography will provide the ability to meet their expectations.  Tying back into what I love about photography, focusing on improvement keeps what I capture fresh and responsive.  The client was extremely happy with my photos and will be hiring me again to capture another event in the coming weeks.  

 

Without further ado, here are some of the photos....

Kevin & Natalie's Wedding! | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Kevin and Natalie were married on July 2nd at the beautiful Lakeside Manor in Gibbsboro, NJ.  As hot as it was outside that day, nothing could be hotter than Kevin & Natalie on their wedding day!  One can't help but instantly feel the strong connection Kevin & Natalie have for each other.  The term "Soulmates" often gets thrown around too often.  Kevin & Natalie are most undeniably soulmates and I have no doubt that whatever punches life swings at them in the years to come, they'll swing back harder.   Here is their wedding story........

 

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…..

Maryland Wedding Photography | Rob & Chelsee’s Wedding

Rob & Chelsee married on September 24th at the Court Street Livery.  The town had a wonderful historic and rustic feel to it.  The day was absolutely beautiful too.  Here in GA, the weather can be extremely hot and humid.  But on their wedding day the weather couldn't be more perfect!  Throughout my time getting to know Rob and Chelsee, I have come to see a beautiful and caring couple who supported and trusted me with capturing the start of their marriage.  I hope to continue to be in the lives of Rob and Chelsee in the future and wish them years of happiness.  I want to close with Chelsee's wish for the start of their new lives together: "When you need a helping hand, you will always have mine.  Because from this day forward, you do not walk alone.  My arms will be your shelter, my heart will be your home and you will have my love forever and always."

 

Art In The Park 2017 | Maryland Concert Photography

This year I was re-invited back to photograph Art in The Park 2017 for the Columbia County Arts Counsil.  Sadly, the festivities were cut short by a massive thunderstorm that followed shortly after the morning performances had finished.  Photographing Art in The Park is completely volunteer work and is my way of giving back to the community.  I was just informed today that an official rain-date has been announced for Oct 14th and again, I have been asked to photograph the event.  In the meantime, have a look at some of the photos from the performances that day!
