Engagement: Kaycee + Don

Posted October 1, 2010 to engagement session , pre-wedding by: Leo Dj.

Kaycee and Don were one of the few whom were referred to me by another couple that didn’t use me as their wedding photographer, but liked my work anyway and had been promoting my photography to a lot of people. Which is awesome. 😀

Kaycee and Don wanted to do the engagement session at this u-pick fruit farm, because Don proposed Kaycee here a year ago.

They wanted to do the photo session in early fall when there were still some fruits in the trees. Although uncertain of the weather, they booked the date way in advance. We had been praying for a good weather all those time. Lo and behold, we got great weather. 🙂

Family: Norris Family

Posted September 28, 2010 to children , family by: Leo Dj.

I get a sudden last minute influx of clients wanting to do all kinds of photo sessions for this September and October for wedding, engagement, children, commercial, and family. I’ve been so overwhelmed, but it’s all good of course. 🙂

Anyway, here’s a candid family session of the Norris family at Eastern Shore, Maryland, Kent Island.

I’ve known them for a while because my son and theirs go to the same school and like to play together.

Engagement: Natali + Nick, Day 2

Posted September 23, 2010 to engagement session , pre-wedding by: Leo Dj.

Here’s the second day of engagement session from Natali and Nick. (Check out the first engagement session here)

So why did they do two days of pre-wedding session? Well, they originally wanted to do the session both in Old Town Alexandria and in Washington DC as well, but there wasn’t enough time to do it on that day. They decided that they still wanted to do the session with DC as the background, so they hired me again for another engagement session. That would be a first for me. Not even sure if any other photographer had the same experience. I would think only a few, if any. 🙂

Anyway, it was the following weekend and we were blessed with a gorgeous weather. 🙂

Engagement: Natali + Nick, Day 1

Posted September 17, 2010 to engagement session , pre-wedding by: Leo Dj.

Natali and Nick found and booked me last Spring for their wedding next year, also in Spring. 🙂

After few meetings and correspondences, we found that we have a lot of things in commons. We like dogs, been to the same places in Austria, and we love foods (such as Sushi) to name a few. 😀

Here’s some of my favorites from the engagement photo session at Old Town Alexandria.

Engagement: Lisa + Pat

Posted September 9, 2010 to engagement session , pre-wedding by: Leo Dj.

Just few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of doing an engagement session for an awesome couple Lisa and Pat. Originally, we wanted to do it at St. Michaels. However, due to weather and time limitation we decided to do it on Kent Island. It actually was the best for us since we don’t have to drive far.

I had met Lisa before, during the client meeting. However, this was my first time meeting Pat. He was very friendly and also hilarious. He likes to goof around sometimes. I was really comfortable and relaxed directing them throughout the photo session. 🙂

Anyway, here are some of my favorite images:

Family and Maternity: Riggins Family

Posted August 25, 2010 to children , family , maternity , portrait by: Leo Dj.

The Riggins family would be the first family in my neighborhood or even my community that asked me to have their family portrait done professionally. They’re also the first family to ask me to do a maternity session. I’m happy and honored that they trusted me to do this.

So here are some of my favorite images from the session we did at Kent Island, Maryland.

Wedding: Amy + Mark

Posted August 20, 2010 to wedding by: Leo Dj.

Amy and Mark was married in Mexico, but they wanted to have the post-wedding reception here in Maryland. So they picked this great place on Kent Island, at the Cove Creek Country Club.

It was super hot that day. I believe the temperature was 103 degrees. Phew…

Luckily everyone get to wear semi casual clothing. It was my first time doing a wedding using a short and a sandal. 😀

Engagement: Alicia + Bobby

Posted August 6, 2010 to engagement session , pre-wedding by: Leo Dj.

Alicia found me thru Googling Eastern Shore Wedding Photographer, I think. 🙂 Anyway, she and her parents then agreed to meet me. During the meeting they were impressed with my work and presentation that they booked me right on the spot! It sure made my heart jumped with joy! Thank you, Alicia. 🙂

The engagement session was just few weeks ago. That’s when I met Bobby for the first time. The pre-wedding photo session was actually planned weeks before the actual one, but it was too hot that we had to postpone it. It was pretty hot during the day of the photo session as well, but not too bad. 🙂

Alicia and Bobby already picked a few great spot for the photo background, so that made it easier for everyone. I also pointed out other great spots as we were walking around.

OK. Enough intro. Here are the images you’ve been waiting for. 🙂
