The wedding ceremony and reception were at Prince George’s Ballroom in PG county, MD on a Friday. I live in Northern Virginia and always know to avoid I-495 when possible, especially in afternoons. That afternoon, I knew it was going to be bad being a Friday afternoon so I left more than two hours before the meeting time. As it turned out, the traffic was so bad that I got there just in time. It took over 2 hours for just about 25 miles. Insane. Luckily, it isn’t my daily commute.

Anyway, Sheree and Tyrell definitely know how to throw one heck of a party. The groom even rocked out some massiv tunes with his buddies during the reception.

A few photos from Shin and Brett’s wedding at Irvine Nature Center, Owings Mills, MD. Hot Spring day but luckily clouds helped quite a bit. The groomsmen were goofy and hilarious. Great people and great time!

For our first camping trip of the year, we went to Assateague State Park. Well, we wanted to do the national park but it was full. The state park next to it was available. Anyway, it is about a 4-5 hour drive from northern Virginia. There was a storm warning when we got there. Quickly setup our tents. By the time we were done, it started coming down really hard. The wind speed was actually 40-45 mph throughout the afternoon and night.

We had a great time even though alcohol was forbidden on the site (the ban started this year, go figure).

Jimmy was trying to get something from his tent during the big storm but couldn’t find the zipper… lol.

Shin and Brett Engagement

This was the only engagement shoot I did last winter. In fact, it was in January and January was cold as far as I remember. However, on that particular day, the temperature was in the 50s. Shin and Brett were so pumped up they ran around in t-shirts.

Anyway, Shin and Brett are recent University of Maryland grads. According to the couple, they met while training to be RAs (resident assistants). They started dating after a semester of rowdy residents and disappointing diner food. As silly as Brett is, he’s the calm one when Shin freaks out. When he asked her out, she freaked out and he very calmly dealt with it and coaxed her into acquiescing. Same for the proposal. They’re trying to navigate their relationship by melding their very different upbringings and points of views… this leads to lots of anguish and hilarity.
