The last image is my absolute favorite from both days. I can't wait to have it enlarged, box mounted and hanging in the studio!
Mintu and Megha: Thank you for having me be a part of your celebration! I had a wonderful time and I wish you guys the very best! You guys were SO calm and chill through TONS of family formals, unexpected turns and everything else that goes with a large wedding! Thank you!
London Sandy: You're famous!
After leaving the Gurdwara we went back to Meg's Parent's house where we did some portraits, drank Indian tea and Megha left her parent's house with her belongings. Traditionally this would be where the Bride leaves her family to live with her husband, sometimes moving far away. I don't hear this often called the "Crying Ceremony" anymore but that's essentially what it is... and a few tears were shed. Meg? She just smiled :o)
I've shot my share of Indian weddings. Meg and Mintu was to be my first Sikh wedding. The Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) was beautiful inside as was the ceremony and experience. There was much more singing than the Hindu ceremonies I have become accustomed to. One side of the temple was women, the other men with the Guru, Mintu and Meg in the middle. After the ceremony we all went downstairs to eat lunch.
I had the joy of sharing in Jimmy & Cassie's wedding last weekend. It was small private ceremony of twenty close family and friends in Frederick, MD. I've known Jimmy for many years and Cassie for a few. I was honored to be a part of their day. Congratulations you guys!

I had the pleasure to shoot my cousin's wedding this weekend past. We ran into my aunt last night at the mall where she said the whole mall keeps asking "WHEN WILL THE IMAGES BE ONLINE!" Without a further adieu, here they are! I hadn't met Robert until the wedding day, I'm looking forward to getting to know him better!
After being here almost a week we finally made it out the suburb we've been staying in (Tomball, TX) and went into Houston. We went to the "Downtown Aquarium", it was cheaper and SO much nicer than the Baltimore Aquarium. It was smaller but half the price and INCREDIBLY welll taken care of. They were open last night until 10p and we got there at around 8pm. The combination of Houston not being very touristy right now and it being a school night we were the ONLY people in the aquarium... Eva was able to get out the stroller and do her thing, it was great for her. Had i realized how freakin' cool the aquarium was i would have brought my real camera... but the point-n-shoot did pull off this one great image of the city skyline with the ferris wheel spinning.
I will still miss SONIC most of all... I'm sure i'd get sick of it very fast, it's probably best for us to have a long distance relationship. I promise we'll KIT! (umm.. ask an eighth grade girl... if you don't remember what KIT is.. although asking an eighth grade girl ANYthing might be seen as rather creepy).
The food here is amazing... Being so close to the border, mexican and tex-mex is a whole other world... Laura and I will usually go to the chain tex-mex restaurant when we actually get a date night back home... After eating here and tasting actually authentic tex-mex and mexican... it's going to be hard to go back to the imitation east coast stuff!
I can't wait to get into this wedding and edit and design their album... This might be the album i mass produce into sample "give-away" albums... we'll see how it turns out, but the images are incredible and in many different locations... I'm going to also be shooting Arianne and Jimmy at an abandoned Hospital when we get back home. It apparently was abandoned in the fifties when all the staff and patients got TB and died... The beds are still there along with many other creepy "ghost town" things... complete with paint peeling off the wall and broken windows. I can't wait to shoot there, hopefully we don;t get kicked out!
In about six hours we'll be on a plane home to the nation's capital... Eva, Laura and Myself are all sick... probably due to the huge change in climate.
My good friend from Maryland just emailed me... he was in Houston all weekend too. Weird, I wonder why he was out here and what were the chances?
Yesterday was a blast, I had so much fun being with Jimmy and Arianne and all of their friends. All of the locations were great, the lighting was perfect, the clouds were beautiful, it was ALL good.
I was shooting by a historic railroad station yesterday and i had Jimmy and Arianne over on the track and I was in some uncut grass... I heard a noise maybe 10 feet from me. In my zone of getting the perfect shot, I didn't notice it at first until either the second or third warning... When I honed in on the sound I had never heard before in person (being a city boy from the east coast), it was definetly a rattlesnake. Looking it up last night when I got back, I had no idea how MANY rattlesnakes were in texas:
There are fifteen (15) venomous snakes native to the state of Texas.
These include one (1) coral snake, three (3) different copperheads, one
(1) cottonmouth and ten (10) different rattlesnakes. To learn more
about any of these venomous snakes, please select and click on the
species you are interested in.
yikes.... i'm glad my day didn't end in the emergency room!
It's me! I'm Sean... SethW brought me in and this is my first experimental post... will i stick around? I've been using xanga since 2001 and although xanga is so very comfortable and has chronicled my life for years... I like the community idea and more control... and of course the web2.0... from the looks of this site so far, vox could be the poster child for web2.0 right down to the color scheme :o)
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Annapolis, MD. In true wedding photographer style, I'm in a hotel room in Houston, Texas awaiting the start of what should be a great day and a great wedding. I love going into a city that I know almost nothing about and stumbling upon wonderful places to shoot. Today will be a good day. My family and I will be here all week, if you're familiar with Houston, let me know some kid friendly places to go!

I'm excited to post these publicly. Candice and Kaloug we married a little more than a week ago and are a perfect fit. I have enjoyed knowing Candice for years and immediately enjoyed Kaloug and look forward to getting to know Him better. If they just weren't so busy! :o) Below are a couple samples of not only their images but new borders and actions we have implemented into our bag of tricks!
For more images and tricks from the bag, you can view Candice and Kaloug's wedding album by clicking here. I love this album and can't wait to have a copy for myself!
