August 24, 2016 Ica Remo

This past weekend they had a beautiful, intimate wedding in the woods at Centreville, VA's Cabell's Mill. They met by way of an online dating site & fell in love from continents away.

Julian & Hitomi your love is beautiful.
Thank you so much for allowing me celebrate with you both!

Walking into this weekend ready to take on another wedding // Happy weekending, friends! // #icaimages

Sometimes the accidental photos are my favorite. Like this big ole sneeze from Brian that started off our engagement session // It was all fun & giggles the whole way through & I’d like to think it’s because we got started on the right foot (specifically Brian’s right foot 🤣) // Am I right? @lyssadesign // If you missed it earlier, this confetti filled engagement shoot is up on the blog tonight // #icaimages

“Everything is everything. After winter must come spring. Change comes eventually.” // Every single spring I go on a @ms_laurynhill kick mostly because of this song. So while driving around today I blasted The Miseducation Education of Lauryn Hill & it brought me right back to my middle & high school days // I can’t believe that album was released 20 years ago 😳 & it’s still a favorite in my book // Anyone else listen to 20 year old music & jam out to it like it was released yesterday? 😆// Maybe I need new music. I asked on insta stories but I’ll ask here again: What are you guys listening to these days? Clearly I need some new music recommendations if I’m throwing it back 20 years because I don’t have any new to listen to // (send them my way down below 😘) // My playlists thank you 💕

I married a teacher & his summer break is just around the corner 🙌 // The closer we get to summer, the further we get away from our hospital days // I’m so ready to go on more spontaneous adventures with my guy ... that don’t entail a spontaneous collapsed lung 😜 // #remoadventures

If I told you that half of these flowers weren’t real & that the bride, her mom & some friends made these beautiful bouquets themselves, would you believe me? // These were some of the prettiest handmade bouquets I ever did see & they even smelled amazing because of the preserved eucalyptus // My brides never cease to amaze me with their killer DIY skills // Were/are you a DIY bride? I sure was. // #icaimages #mossandmrs

Photo tip: Always choose the best light over the prettiest location. But if you can get both, you win! // This weekend I had to forfeit shooting in certain locations because the light on it was splotchy & bad for portraits (landscape & venue photos are a different beast) // I also had to ask my clients to come back to a specific location when the light was the BEST & let me tell you, it was worth coming back to because the light on it earlier in the day was not as flattering nor as soft // No, this photo was not taken at the wedding venue this weekend, but as I start to visit & search for pretty new locations for portraits (like this local park) my mind is always focused on lighting & how any one lighting scenario will dictact how I shoot at a location //

RECENTS PORTRAITS

PORTRAITS // Wilmington, North Carolina Maternity Portraits: Reinna

We have lived on opposite coasts for all of our lives, but times they are a changin'!
My California bestie, Reinna is now living on the East Coast a few states south of me & she's very pregnant.

The last time we saw each other was so early on in her pregnancy that I didn't get to see her beautiful baby bump in all it's glory. So this month my family & I took a trip down to see her and Christian, her husband.
Here are some photos of Rein & her 3rd trimester bump on the streets of downtown Wilmington & Wrightsville beach.

Rein, I love you, Chris and that baby boy growing inside you, so much!

PORTRAITS // It's that time of year: Time for Fall Family Portraits!

Hey friends! It's already October and whether we are ready or not, the holidays are quickly approaching! There are only 6 weeks until Thanksgiving and 10 weeks until Christmas.
Before you know it, it could be too late to send out Christmas cards!

SENIOR PORTRAITS // Southern Maryland Senior: Elizabeth

This southern Maryland sweetheart is so kindhearted & so poised. I know you are going to do some incredible things in your lifetime, Elizabeth. I'm grateful to catch just a piece of your journey & celebrate the amazing young woman you are right now!

STYLED SHOOT // Southern Maryland Bakery: Sprinkle with Kindness

Can I take a second to talk about this fabulous cake?
The tropical hand painted layer, a subtle hint of pink & the gold geometric lines,
this is the brain child of cake-maker & artist, Rachel of Sprinkle with Kindness.

Inspired by tropical greens, ballet blush & a dash of gold, Rachel & I teamed up for the sweetest collaboration to celebrate the relaunch of her bakery, Sprinkle with kindness.

Rachel is an out-of-the-box thinker/baker, who's original designs take my breath away.
Ever see a square macrame inspired cake? Keep on scrolling to see all of Rachel's baked goods! Wedding cakes, party cakes, cupcakes, cookies, you name it ... she can bake it!

SENIOR PORTRAITS // 50% OFF SUMMER SALE - LIMITED AVAILABILITY

THIS was my best senior portrait. My slightly-cubby-teenage cheeks, a standard set of fake pearls, this weirdly- centered composition in a sterile & boring studio setup, & finally a zero-personality-fake-smile - yep this my BEST shot.
