i’m currently out of the country, but wanted to quickly use this opportunity to thank all of you for following my  blog, 2012 is already looking pretty good.

a special thank you to everyone that has given me the opportunity to photograph a piece of their lives. i don’t take it for granted.

two thousand and twelve…it’ll be a great year.

Brooke and Clayton- DC Courthouse Wedding

brooke and clayton didn’t want to have a big wedding. so they decided to do something small.  clayton told me that the day they chose was his late grandmother’s birthday. she basically raised him.

right then and there i knew the day was going to be special.

i’ve always been intrigued by small intimate weddings and photographing a courthouse wedding. you know…it’s the people you truly love that would surround you on that day. and brooke and clayton’s wedding celebration proved that notion. they had family and brooke’s best friend join them on this beautiful friday afternoon at the dc court house.  later on, they had a brief dinner reception at maggiano’s in bethesda, md, where more family and friends came to celebrate with them.

it was an honor to witness their love for each other, family and friends. and thanks brooke and clayton for making me feel like part of the family…with a fancy camera.

here are a few pictures.

if you’re looking for a photographer to capture your courthouse wedding affair (or any small intimate wedding), please be sure to contact me.

steve jobs. RIP.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

-Steve Jobs
