Pucho Cigars // Product Photography

Last year we had the pleasure of working with Pucho Cigars on a promotional video as well as some product photography for their website and marketing purposes. Below are some of our favorite images from the shoot. Enjoy!

PUCHO is an exclusive, high quality brand of cigars hand rolled from the finest Cuban tobacco seeds grown and harvested in Nicaragua’s fertile Jalapa Valley. With the guidance and expertise of one of the most legendary cigar-making families in the world – the Plasencia Family – each cigar is created from PUCHO’s proprietary blend of long-leaf, finely-aged tobacco. From start to finish, more than 200 expert hands delicately handcraft each and every cigar to help create the ultimate “seed to smoke” experience for the discerning smoker.

For the last two decades, PUCHO Founder Michael Palma has imported these rare and exquisite cigars to the United States in “puchos” – a Spanish slang word meaning “small handfuls.” Until now, PUCHO Cigars were only available for purchase through private sale to Mr. Palma’s close friends and family. With a strong desire to share these masterpieces with other cigar aficionados, while staying true to the brand’s heritage and exclusivity, Mr. Palma is now offering PUCHO Cigars for purchase to the public.

Kimberly & Dan’s National Park Wedding // Washington, DC

This wedding was so unique and special. As photographers, we appreciated getting so much time with the bride/groom & wedding party for the photos. Thank you Kimberly & Dan! Below is a write up about the wedding from the bride ~ I think she explains the day perfectly. Enjoy!

I didn’t want a lot to be traditional when planning my wedding because when it came to the five years leading up to the proposal, not much was ordinary. We met on match.com and had one date at Nats Park in Washington, DC before my future husband, a Marine, threw our relationship a curveball and got orders to Japan. Phone calls and Skype were our dates over the following few years before he returned to the States. Daniel proposed in the summer of 2012 and then deployed to Afghanistan leaving me with wedding plans as the perfect pastime while he was away.

The unforgettable day was punctuated by national landmarks, historic sites and our field of dreams.  Our family and friends watched the wedding and felt as if they’d dipped themselves in magic waters.  The memories were so thick, they had to brush them away from their faces.  Taking photos around the monuments of the nation’s capital it was as if a rock band’s tour bus pulled up in front of admiring fans. As our bridal party, my groom and I got off the shuttle bus at various scenic locations for pictures, hundreds of complete strangers started taking photos of us. It was a true paparazzi moment. Some people even went to the extreme to ask our photographers to get in the photos with us!  On Pennsylvania Avenue, our pose was reminiscent of an old Life Magazine cover.

Our celebration began at a base and continued at home plate.  The ceremony was held at a little white chapel on Bolling Air Force base. Honoring the groom’s Irish heritage, a bagpiper provided the music as our wedding party walked the aisle and took their positions. Following an upbeat and spirited ceremony, the crowd went wild as we exited to the Marine Corps hymn under a saber arch.  The wedding party (and guests) climbed aboard the team buses and headed to the stadium.

Deciding to have our reception at Nats Park was a fastball right down the middle.  Reflecting back on the first date back in our rookie season, the wedding would be just like going home.  Unique, fun, and not what you think when it comes to a wedding – a perfect triple play, exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious – hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, bbq, soft pretzels, popcorn and peanuts. Cocktail hour was hosted in the dugout and batting cages (with actual Nationals players throwing out pitches).  Amazingly, my mom and I kept it a secret under our caps for a year and half so it could be a surprise for all the guests – especially my brother, a die-hard Nats fan. As we walked down to the field, he said “Kim, I literally have goosebumps all over my body” – that statement was worth the extra fee and the stress of keeping an 18 month secret. Seeing guests in suits and dresses taking batting practice, laughing and truly enjoying themselves was among my favorite memories of the day.

With the reception at the stadium, the view of the field was better than any decoration we could’ve added. To add a few personal touches, we asked our guests to autograph, errr sign a Nats jersey with the number 13 and our last name on the back. The wedding party was introduced with the enthusiasm of a professional sports starting lineup. The cake, sweetheart, jersey and cupcake table were all dressed in handmade table runners. In lieu of favors, we made a donation to the Semper Fi Fund, in honor of my husband’s service to the Marine Corps.

The day was simply a home run.

NK Swingle // Volt Restaurant Wedding

Jonathan & Laura’s Volt Restaurant Wedding // Frederick, MD

Jonathan & Laura are married! The event took place at Bryan Voltaggio’s restaurant, Volt, in Frederick, MD. The wedding was beautiful, modern, and chic – a photographers dream! You could tell Jonathan & Laura really thought through the details of their wedding. They hired En Masse Flowers to create these super stylish canvases with fresh flowers that hung on the walls at Volt. I’ve never seen anything quite like them. The floral arrangements were breathtaking — a work of art. Since the morning of the wedding was windy and cold, Laura & Jonathan decided to have their ceremony inside a heated tent in Volt’s courtyard. Laura had already planned the possibility of this happening and had these gorgeous red and orange amaryllis blossoms suspended on branches inside the tent — right above where they stood to exchange their vows!

The venue was more than a location.  Volt’s food and staff were phenomenal. The food was as gourmet as it was picturesque. The plating and presentation was extraordinary. Jonathan’s band Detached Retina played at the reception — and Jonathan even joined the band for a few songs on the drums. We are so thrilled for Jonathan & Laura. Congratulations to you both!

Kathryn & Javier’s Plantation Wedding // Oatlands Plantation, Leesburg, VA

With a storybook setting at the Oatlands Plantation just outside of Washington, D.C. near Leesburg, VA, we spent the day with Kathryn, Javier and their friends and family. We’re not sure we did justice to the incredible smiles on these two – Kathryn and Javier, you. are. awesome. Both of us photographers found ourselves smiling on the other side of the camera as we captured the infectious happiness between this bride and groom. With a great tent and timely heaters fighting off the autumn evening chill, this group kept the energy up and rocked out the dance floor all night. Great wedding K+J. Thank you for letting us be a part of it!

Meadow Lane Lodge & Cottages :: Part 2 :: Jackson River Fly Fishing [Warm Springs, VA]

Nick introduced me to Meadow Lane shortly after we got married in 2010. He had stayed there with his family while in college and fell in love with the place. Not only was it an oasis outside of DC, but I couldn’t get over the beauty of the river and grounds. It probably helped that I kept crushing fish, and ended up catching the big fish of the trip. Sorry Nick! …wait, no I’m not! 🙂

So again, we were thrilled to be asked to take photos of the Jackson River & guests fly fishing.

And yes, you caught us ~ we did do a little fishing during our photo shoot at Meadow Lane. 🙂

Last Spring, Nick and I were hired by Meadow Lane Lodge & Natural Retreats for a hospitality shoot down in Warm Springs, VA. We couldn’t have been more excited. Not only is Meadow Lane one of our favorite vacation spots, but the shoot involved everything we love about photography: fly fishing, people, landscapes, and architecture. This couldn’t have been any more tailor made. Below you’ll find some of our favorite images from the weekend. I have to warn you though, this is just the first of 3 posts. Not only were we hired to photograph the grounds at Meadow Lane, but the exteriors for each of their rental cottages, the exterior and interior of their guiding cottage, their 2.5 mile private stretch of the Jackson River (stocked with large rainbow, brown and steelhead trout), and another 2 mile stretch of the Jackson River in Warm Springs.

Now ladies, if you aren’t into fly fishing don’t let that discourage you from visiting Meadow Lane. Staying at the Lodge is the way to go. The Lodge has 5 bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. In addition to the breakfast offered, there’s a full kitchen to use (minus an oven), a pool, tennis court, barnyard for the children, and some of the coziest rooms around (think fireplace, screened porch, living room, separate entrance, deck, etc.). Within a couple of miles of Meadow Lane there is a really cute wine and cheese shop (Milk House Market) and a fantastic/romantic restaurant to grab dinner in Warm Springs (Waterwheel Restaurant). They even let you down in the cellar to choose whatever wine you’d like for dinner (!).

So, go grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and see why we fell in love with Meadow Lane.
