Mary and Jordan

I've been quiet for the past few days - I've been busy! I had the privilege of photographing Mary and Jordan's wedding on August 22nd. The next morning I flew across the country (at 6:15 AM!) for a family reunion and didn't return until mid week. Then I had another wedding that weekend and this is the first chance I've had to post some of the fun images I captured. Also, I wanted to send a sneak peek to Mary and Jordan before I posted some of their images.

There is a popular finishing technique that I've finally mastered that I'm using in this particular post. It's very gritty and current. I love it! Mary and Jordan love photography and wanted to go on a shoot between the ceremony and reception, which is so fun. We went to the Capital Seminary in Kensington, Maryland. In a nutshell, the Seminary used to be a women's college/finishing school back in about the 40's. It's still there, but had fallen into disrepair and disuse. It is being restored and converted into homes and condos. The buildings are in different states of renovation and many are inaccessible, due to ongoing construction. These first two images are from the Seminary grounds.

This first image is in front of the Pagoda. It is the only Japanese style structure on the Seminary.



This next image is in front of a home that has not been restored yet, but will be. I believe it will be sold as a single family home in the future.



This final image is on a fire truck, and is not at the Seminary. It was taken at the Sandy Spring Fire House. The firemen were very gracious to take the truck out for us for a photo shoot. The subject matter works well with the gritty finish of this particular image.



I'm hoping the "grittiness" of the images will be visible in this blog - they're so fun. If not, you'll have to go to my website for the full effect. More to follow from Mary and Jordan's wedding day!
