A pastoral hideaway just outside Leesburg, Va., Stone Tower Winery boasts a rustically refined setting suited for a peaceful retreat. With 75 acres of vineyards, the beautiful Harvest Barn tasting room and lots of lush lawn space, it’s a lovely spot for either an engagement session or a wedding.

In order to prevent any photo loss due to technical error we take the following precautions at every wedding we shoot.

Every Photographer has their go to list of must-have gear.  The important thing to note is that they have professional level gear and back-ups. Professional gear can yield a much higher quality photograph, especially in typical low light reception spaces.  As well, in the unfortunate event that a Photographers lens or camera body breaks, that means moments to be photographed will be missed. Don’t worry about the specifics of the gear, just be sure to ask if your Photographer has backups.

Tips to Nailing Your Engagement Session

An engagement session is a time in which we get to work together, get to know one another and have some fun!  We are very laid back and down to earth documentary artists who enjoy getting to know our clients on a personal level.  We really enjoy helping our clients feel comfortable in front of the camera so don’t be worried or nervous.  We will direct, guide and walk you through the entire process.  If you have an idea or something you think would be epic during your session we are up for anything!  Don’t forget to come with an open mind and sense of adventure so we can make some awesome photos.  Here are some tips that we put together to make the session go as smooth as possible.

What better place for a breathtaking photo shoot than Washington, D.C.’s National Gallery of Art? The only thing prettier than the artwork is, of course, you and your beau. We took full advantage of the gallery’s range of settings for this shoot, including the grandiose architecture, the glitzy light installation connecting the East and West wings and the lovely surrounding outdoors.

The adorable small town of Clifton, Va., in Fairfax County, was the perfect spot for Christina and Jimmy’s engagement shoot. With plenty of rustic, small-town charm, Clifton offers all the right touches. Just check out these white picket fences, old barns, vintage train, picturesque chapel and, of course, a gazebo. This is cute Americana at its finest.
