DC Celebrations

MBK Top Photo Moments of 2019

The start of the new year brought me the opportunity to reflect on all of the great jobs I completed over the course of 2019. I am filled with such gratitude to be a part of so many amazing events, and continuing to do the work that I love and am so passionate about. A major part of what makes my job so special and fulfilling is my incredible clientele- some of which I have been lucky enough to know over the course of many, many years! From weddings to Mitzvahs to corporate events, there have been lots of incredibly noteworthy occasions over the past year. It’s not easy to chose favorites, but here are 10 memorable highlights from 2019!

I love this shot from the DC Mardi Gras Ball at the Washington Hilton. This year, the entire ballroom was transformed into an Alice in Wonderland theme, which was spectacular. Walking in, I immediately felt like I had fallen down a rabbit hole into this fantasy world populated by every peculiar, anthropomorphic Wonderland creature. I enjoy photographing the D.C. Mardi Gras events because it’s always an exciting experience, and every year they continue to outdo themselves!

Love this beautiful moment that I captured, and this event was extra special for me because I got to see my niece truly marry “an officer and a gentleman".

This is one of my favorite shots from Maggie and Tommy's fabulous wedding at the Mountain Top Inn & Resort in Chittenden, VT. The couple climbed over a fence to get to this incredibly picturesque spot. I've known Maggie all her life so it was extra special for me to be asked to photograph her wedding. Maggie and Tommy are such a wonderful couple, and I'm so happy that they both found their rock in one another!

A favorite candid from a family photoshoot at Dewey Beach. Gathering up all the kids for a family shot could be a new Olympic sport…And Jenna, Niki and Jason would get the gold medal!

It was a memorable day photographing this engagement shoot for Harris and Katie at the scenic Rocklands Farm Winery in Poolesville, MD. I still remember photographing Harris's Bar Mitzvah so it’s an extra treat to see what a great guy he has developed into, and how happy he and Katie are together. The two of them make such a beautiful couple!

Hope you enjoyed taking a look at some of my top photo moments from 2019. I’m looking forward to seeing what exciting new endeavors 2020 brings!
