Gloria & Joshua!

It's always interesting to me when someone from outside the Connecticut / New York area hires me to photograph their wedding AND I don't get the chance to meet them until the wedding day. As much as I think I know about the bride from talking to her over the phone, you don't know who they really are. And I never really thought about it until I met Gloria, while she was getting her makeup done, that people have a different idea of who I am compared to what's on my website. So when I showed up at Gloria's hotel room Saturday morning, Gloria was surprised how young I was. Oddly enough Kelley and I were just calling each other old last night as we watched the Republican National Convention. I know, I'm only 30. Apparently my website gives off an older vibe?

I hadn't met Josh until he came to the room to drop off an envelope for Gloria. It wasn't until the 50 minute drive to Washington DC that Kelley and I got a chance to really chat it up with Gloria and Josh in the limo. Let's just say that by the end of the night it felt like we were hanging out with a couple of old friends that's we've known for a long time. That's funny to me when just 10 hours before we left for CT, I didn't know Gloria or Josh. We hope to see you guys again soon!!!

One of my favorite wedding dresses that I've seen.








That's me in the mirror! I had to keep me in there... when am I ever in the picture?




Now for the DC Monument tour!
