Wedding: Brittany + Dan
June 4th, 2010
After Brittany and Dan’s engagement photo session on Kent Island, now comes the wedding. 
Their wedding was mid May (last month) and the ceremony was at Kent Island Methodist Church (KIUMC).
Here’s the beautiful bride, Brittany.
Isn’t she beautiful?
Anyway, let’s go back a bit to the beginning of the day.
Commercial Work: Adele
May 6th, 2010
OK. After going off the beaten path of trying to post in chronological order by posting recent works, now I’m back on track continuing from where I left off, the family portrait session from last November.
Only about a month after I did my commercial work for the Crazy Chick Salon, I got a call from Adele. She was referred to me by Becky, the owner of the salon. Adele said that I was highly recommended. That made me smile from ear to ear. 
Adele wanted a few portraits of her in a natural setting, not studio, for her Web site and her book “The Legend of the Seahawk”. She wanted to have the images as soon as possible. We had agreed to a shoot date. However, because of the weather, it had to be postponed to another date in November. I already had another client on that day for an engagement session. Fortunately, it was in the afternoon. So I was able to do the session with Adele very early in the morning to get the morning sunlight.
Here are some of my favorite images.
Engagement: Junelyn + Brad
April 27th, 2010
Junelyn and Brad saw my portfolio on my site last year. They instantly fell in love with my style, did not want to look at any other wedding photographers, and decided to book me right away. It was love at first sight. Don’t you just fell in love with these kind of clients? Well I sure did… They made me jump and said, “Yes!!”
They decided to do the engagement session this Spring. We were blessed to get such a perfect warm weather that afternoon. Although, it was a quite a struggle for them to get to the Eastern Shore. It took few hours for them to get here because it was during a weekday, Tuesday, and it was rush hour. Surprisingly there was a long backup at Annapolis and at the Bay Bridge too, which is not very common on a Spring weekday. Probably because it was still a spring break for few schools and probably lots of families decided to go to the beach.
Anyway, when Junelyn and Brad got here, the loved the beautiful and peaceful place and said that it made them forgot about the bad traffic they had. It was totally worth the drive for them.
I was actually sick on that day, although I was much better than the two days before, but I already made a promise. I also thought that there may not be another chance for a perfect weather where both of them can get a day off from work, so I forced myself to do it. It was worth it for me as well, as you can see from these images below.
High School Senior: Marissa
April 15th, 2010
This is my first full session of high school senior portrait. Well sort of…
Marissa supposed to graduate this year along with her other classmates. However, she graduated a year early, and is now in college. Way to go Marissa!
Nevertheless, she wanted to do this senior photo session anyway. I’m honored to have her as my first.
I knew Marissa through Facebook through other friends, and she is one of the most nicest/politest person in FB. I think Marissa is a beautiful person not only on the outside, but also inside.
Engagement: Brittany + Dan
March 18th, 2010
OK. Moving on to November 2009.
For some reason, fall season is very very popular for all sort of photo sessions: engagement, weddings, family portrait, etc. You name it. I was fully booked in October and November last year. People just like the weather and the tree colors.
This was the first photo session in November, an engagement or pre-wedding photography session with Brittany and Dan at Matapeake Beach and the marina in between the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and Hemingways.
Dr. Philbin and Staff
March 16th, 2010
I took my son to his orthodontist in late October. When I came in to the office, boy, was I in for a surprise!
It was almost Halloween and everyone in the office, including the two orthodontists, were wearing 80′s themed outfit. October 31st fell on a weekend, and the office would not be opened, so they celebrated it on the last couple of weekdays. That is Thursday at the Kent Island office and Friday at the Annapolis office.
Their clothing was so colorful and reminded me of Madonna, Paula Abdul, etc. back in the days. One of the staff became Paul Stanley from KISS. What cracked me up (and amazed me at the same time) was that Dr. Philbin became Michael Jackson. I actually liked the outfit he was wearing better than the typical infamous red jacket that MJ wore for the Thriller video. Not that there’s anything wrong with the red jacket outfit, but I thought the black shirt with the sequins was awesome! It looked more expensive too!
Anyway, since I loved the way they looked, I decided to immortalize the fun that they had and offered them to take their photos. Fortunately, they liked the idea and happily agreed to do it! Woohoo!!
It was morning when I took my son to their office, so I had to come back in the afternoon after the office hours to take the pictures. Well of course, we couldn’t do it when the patient was waiting. They’d be furious! 
Here are the images from the session…
We originally wanted to do it outside, but then we would have to drive to the location, and that would not be practical for everyone. Luckily, they had this red brick wall in their office. What a perfect backdrop!
As you could see here, the background really matched their colorful outfit. It also reminded me of Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall album. I couldn’t ask for any better.
Commercial Work: Eva + Chris
March 10th, 2010
Late October last year, one of my friend asked me if I could take pictures of her children for comp cards. I said, “Sure!”
It was supposed to be in mid October but it rained that weekend, so we decided to postpone it to the next weekend.
We were lucky that the next weekend we got a good weather. Our prayers were answered!
The session was supposed to be at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, but for some reason there was a traffic backup at the Bay Bridge. Not sure what happened. I couldn’ get through and we’re running out of daylight. Fortunately, Heidy was kind enough to offer herself to drive to Kent Island. I found this small picnic park with a pond. We were lucky to get some fall colored trees as well.
Anyway, here’s Eva.
And… here’s Chris.
Commercial Work: Crazy Chick Salon
March 2nd, 2010
Late September last year, I got a call from Becky, the owner of Crazy Chick Salon in Kent Island, Maryland. I forgot how she learned about my photography business. She wanted me to take picture of her and her hair salon crew for commercial use, such as for newspaper ads.
We finally set a date early October for the photo session. She closed early that day so we could get plenty of daylight.
Unfortunately, some of them could not make it that day. Here are some of the crew. Aren’t they all gorgeous?
We also did individual portraits of the personnel.
Wedding: Brianne+Jeremy, Part 2
February 24th, 2010
After the ceremony and formal session, now comes the second part, which is the ceremony, a.k.a. the fun part, a.k.a. da partaay!
Let’s go back to the beginning… well… the beginning of the reception.
