The Barns at Wolf Trap Wedding / Washington DC / Katie + Raf

All I can tell you after this wedding is that Duke grads know how to throw it down! In fact there are some photos that had to be excluded to protect the “innocent.” Love you guys! Thanks for having me.

2011, What a Year

It’s pretty crazy how incredibly awesome 2011 turned out to be.  Photography took me to Las Vegas, Asheville, Breckenridge, Memphis, New York, the Outer Banks, Chicago, Washington DC, Upstate NY, and all over Florida.  Next year, I am headed to Boston, France, Chicago, and Atlanta (and hopefully a few more!).  I love to travel for weddings and engagement sessions.

I also had the opportunity to work with some amazing photographers whose work I have admired but only knew online.  I hope to do more of that in 2012.  Collaborating with other photographers always gives me so much creative inspiration.

I also bought a medium format film camera, attended the FIND workshop and started shooting film.  I later added an EOS 3 35 mm film camera and I recently bought a Zeiss Ikon.  I’m excited to shoot more film in 2012.  About 25% of the images below were shot on film.

I don’t know how 2012 is going to beat 2011 but I’m ready.

A handful of images above were taken while second shooting for Jessica Lorren, Gabe Aceves, and Shipra Panosian.

The Friday Fresh Squeeze | Floridian Weddings - [...] up, grab a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy the pretty! Jessica Lorren Organic Photography , Kat Braman Photography, Captured Photography by Jenny. I've always loved the idea of a New Years Eve wedding! This one [...]

W Hotel Fort Lauderdale | Jenn + Josh’s Wedding

I adore Jenn and Josh.  A.D.O.R.E.  Like all of my amazing clients, they put an incredible amount of trust in me to document the most important day of their life.   I’m so thankful for that.   I think you’ll agree that Josh might have the most contagious smile ever.  And Jenn is one of those people that makes you better for knowing her.   Plus she has amazing style – she designed her own dress!  Together they are beautiful in every sense of the word.

I can’t forget to mention my incredible 2nd shooter at this wedding, Fer Juaristi.  He is easily one of the best wedding photographers in the world.  Working with him has been one of the highlights of my year and I hope we can do it again sometime.
