When I received the first correspondence from Sloan asking if I would travel to Baltimore on a Tuesday in the middle of January to photograph a gothic themed wedding, I thought it was a total fraud. Then we FaceTimed and I knew they were real and indeed serious. They had seen other published work of mine where I photographed a gothic wedding and wanted me to be there for their special day. They planned this wedding for only about 8 guests; their nearest and dearest. The ceremony was short and sweet, only about 20 minutes. But it was filled with laughter and happy tears. It was a pleasure to be there for them to bring their vision to life.

Marianne and Jason wanted to be sure we could get some nice images by a family member's Corvette. So we took some standard images, but they weren't exciting me enough. The sun was setting and it was so beautiful. I decided to set up a flash with modifier and had the bride hold it in front of them to illuminate their faces. It took a tweak or two but they were blow away by what was created, and that made me thrilled! I was able to capture the sunset and the Corvette in one image for them.
