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.
Christmas Family Photography Session | Maryland Family Photographer
Seasons greetings everyone!
When Destiny reached out to me inquiring if I would be interested capturing her family photos for her Christmas card/Family portraits I was thrilled at the opportunity. Because I am still a newb in the C.S.R.A and have a lot to learn in terms of scouting interesting locations for photoshoots; I am always looking to try new places. I had heard of Brickpond Park by many photographers in the area who go there for sessions with their clients. I personally have never been there. So the day before my session with Destiny and her kids I decided to scout the area. When I got there I was a bit thrown off. While it was a very picturesque, it did have have a warning marker throughout. A marker that really doesn't go unnoticed. Beware of Alligators!!! Do not attempt to feed or harass if encountering one. *Gulp*
As I walked through the area getting ideas for the session, I kept my eyes on the water......just in case. Toward the end of my scouting throughout the park I decided to head on back. As I walked back across one of the many ponds I peered out into the distance and notice something still and staring at me. It was an alligator alright! About 7-8 feet. I noticed a stray dog in the area just moving along the edge of the pond. The alligator didn't seem to be interested. It just stayed there minding its own business. After all that, I still felt that it was safe enough to have the photos taken there. Worse case scenario I could just beat it with my gigantic Canon 70-200 lens ;-p
On the day of the photo session, Destiny bought her very photogenic kids Pierre, Carter and the newest edition to the family baby Salih! Pierre was very helpful throughout the session helping me and his mother out with anything we needed to capture the best photos we possibly could. Carter is just full of personality and kept us laughing throughout. Baby Salih did what most newborns do.....sleep hahaha. However, she did wake up from time to time just to give me a look. All in all, I believe I captured some of my best photos that day and it will definitely have a home in the IMP portfolio body of work. I would like to thank Destiny for supporting and trusting me with photographing her family. I look forward to photographing her family again in the near future!
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!
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.
Maryland Engagement Session with Dog | Deepika & Prashanth
I met with Deepika and Prashanth and their lovable American Bulldog Baahu on June 24th. After going over a few locations for their family photo shoot they choose to go with Brick Pond Park for it's rustic wildlife visuals and unique bridge. Deepika shared with me that they would be moving to a new location where American Bulldogs are outlawed. They will have family watch over Baahu while they complete their time at the new location. Deepika expressed her vision for these photos and what they will mean for her and her husband Prashanth. My job that day was to create a memorable photo session that will carry them both through this hard separation from their family member Baahu. Although my dog Tobey is not very cooperative when it comes to taking photos, Baahu was a complete trooper! He was very cooperative, considering how hot and humid it was that day in the Georgia sun. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their photo session!
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!
