Each photo taken in our portrait photography studio near Burke strives to make each client happy!
I am excited to blog that one of the images from David and Danielle’s wedding took 5th place in the WPJA contest!!!! And what is even kewler is that they are using my image as the thumbnail for the category!!
WPJA is the Wedding Photojournalist Association and in their words is an “organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. What sets our members part in the industry is their candid, documentary approach – a distinctly artistic vision toward wedding photography.” In Virginia, I’m one of only 45 photographers in WPJA.
I’m honored to be a member, honored to have an image place in the Emotion category, but I feel even more honored that David and Danielle chose Ever After Images to document the emotions of their wedding day.

From Jonathan and Leslie:
They are breathtaking, funny, beautiful, and just perfectly done. We couldn’t be happier. There are alot of photos we are going to buy. I mean ALOT! …My friend loves your work so much I could almost guarantee you will be photographing her wedding…
Terrific job on everything and thanks for bearing with all the stress of the day and the weather. Turns out the little sickness I had was pnuemonia. Oh well. that took a bit to clear up but despite that you got great photos.
You surpassed our expectations! We loved the way you worked and my bridesmaids mentioned how comfortable and relaxed they felt. Everyone was able to be themselves and it shows in our photos and thats what we wanted. Natural pictures. Your rates are good. I think you have put yourself perfectly where it’s competitive yet not too steep. I like the names of your packages very cute. Flexibility! you all must have been born with it flowing through your blood. If we wanted or had ideas you listened and that goes with responsiveness. You all are very fun and professional. I love that you have unique ideas for capturing moments we forgot about. Looking through photos I was laughing and having a great time. Even my friends said that they liked the pictures online and the way you set up our sneak peak. I think one of my friends said she watched it at least 10 times a day. She was humming the song out in service. I have never heard her hum before. I think everything was beautifully done and you all really did capture our once upon a time…
Thank you a thousand times! Keep up that awesome work! I will recommend you both to everyone I can!
Much love,
Leslie and Jonathan

Each year, the NVCC Photography program at Alexandria sponsors a juried show of work created in the past year by any student. The work included in the final exhibit is selected by an outside Juror who is anonymous until the opening reception. The work entered represents commercial, fine art and photojournalism aspects of photography.
While taking a photoshop course at NOVA, our local community college, at the urging of our teacher, Sarah Raymond, I decided to enter the juried photography show. There were 188 pieces entered.
I was SO excited to get the phone call while in Vegas, not only that three of prints placed in the show, but that I received one of nine cash prizes awarded for work to be used on the printed announcements for next year’s show!
Here are the prints that placed in the show!!

�It feels weird to comment on�your own�work — right up until the week before,�I�couldn’t decide what to enter!� But� it feels good to win in the first competition� ever entered!

We did an engagement session for the cutest couple, David and Danielle, at Meadowlark Gardens, one of our favorite places to shoot.
While we were there, I learned just to what lengths Joriana will go to get the shot…
And here arethe resulting shots…

Joriana and I hit the ground running last week for the annual Digital Wedding Forum Convention. One of the things we looked forward to was watching two awesome photographers, Alt F, alias John Michael Cooper, and David Beckstead shoot together in their fabulous desert shoot.
Here, David explains to the crowd how his focus will be on showing motion in his images.
Alt F contemplates his next move.
Alt F shows us how.
Beckstead and Alt F set up some gorgeous shots.
We can’t resist clicking off a few shots as we watch and learn.
