We are pleased to announce...

I'm currently attending the Pictage Partner Conference in L.A. If anyone else who reads our blog is attending, I'd love to see you. If we haven't met before, don't be shy, I'd love to meet you!

This charcoal drawing is by my brother, Phillip Adams, who currently has an exhibit of his recent charcoal drawings at Project 4 Gallery in Washington, D.C. The exhibit recently received a short review in the Washington Post and the reviewer spent most of her time looking at Phillip's artwork! For our wedding gift, Phillip gave Erin and me one of our favorite paintings of his (below), which completely blew both of us away. I've always been amazed by my brothers' (both Phillip and Kenneth) ability to bring the ideas in their heads to amazing works of art. If you're in the D.C. area, stop by the Project 4 gallery and check out Phillip's work. The exhibit is on display until September 9th, so hurry! I keep trying to get Phillip to update his website with recent work, but he's so busy creating new work and doing things like getting his work in galleries, that he hasn't had time to update his site, so most of it is pretty old, but still great to look at. He's currently working on a couple of murals in Philadelphia.

Some of our favorite events to photograph are Rehearsal Dinners. Our clients often commission us to spend the evening before their wedding photographing family and friends joining together to celebrate. Some of the most memorable and meaningful experiences of the wedding weekend occur at the Rehearsal Dinner. Since it's such an intimate affair, including all of the people who are closest to the bride and groom, the photographs are filled with emotion. Plus, Rehearsal Dinners are great opportunities for us to meet all of the "key players" of the wedding weekend. On the wedding day, we arrive feeling like we already know many of the family and friends who are most likely to appear in the wedding album!

Erin and I just returned from spending a relaxing week at Rockhouse in Negril, Jamaica for our honeymoon. After spending a week in Charleston with our closest friends and family, which culminated in such a wonderful wedding celebration that was entirely too much fun, it was great to slow down and spend a week entirely with each other. Also, many thanks to everyone who left messages for us. We appreciate your love and support!
