“My name is Angie Choma and I am newly engaged! WOOO HOOOO!!! Sitting here on my little cloud of happiness I am trying to piece together my DE beach wedding for next summer. Thanks for your time and know that I am a big fan of your craft. You have an amazing eye and true talent for capturing all of the beautiful moments in a wedding. If it doesn’t work out for you to be my photographer, you still have a fan in me!” This was the first and last sentences of the initial email I received from Angie back in the day. Its always a good when a bride-to-be like my photos. 
So we finally met up for Angie and Steve’s engagement pictures in downtown Lewes Delaware. Lewes is such an awesome little town. So many places to take pictures and all with in walking distance. We had a great time strolling the streets, sharing some laughs and chatting about their wedding! I’m very much looking forward to their Salero wedding in June!

Matt and Devon’s wedding day was FINALLY here! Geeesh. I’m not saying this because they have been together for 9 years…cough…slacker…cough…Matt. Actually we go way back to Sunday Funday beach volleyball. Of course my fondest memory is blocking that ONE spike that giant Matt tried to deliver to my face. When I first met Devon I thought…she is tiny compared to her mammoth of a man. She quickly gained my respect by proving herself to be a little fire cracker marinated in heavy sarcasm.
Fast forward to June 20th 2008. Matt’s sister, Erin, had hired me to photograph her Nassua Valley Vinyards wedding. Devon had warned me that she is not very photogenic and borderline “goofey” when she gets her pictures taken. So one of my goals for the night was to get…at least one good picture at Matt’s sister’s wedding. I got one…just one.

Matt fiiiiinnnnaaaallllyyy popped the question and Devon said yes of course. So the next time we hung out on the beach, we talk about me being their wedding photographer! Funny thing is Devon actually wrote the check out on the beach wearing a bikini and handed it over to me in between volleyball games! First time for everything right?
Leading up to the wedding, Devon was pretty laid back. Expect the part about looking “goofey” in front of the camera. So of course we needed to “practice” to I headed west for their engagement pictures in Annapolis. That day the “perfect storm” decide to roll in to interfere with our plans! The rain actually held off until after our fun filled tour of downtown Annapolis.
Devon and Matt we freaking awesome. So laid back and chill during the whole day.
“Goofey” infront of the camera my ass!!!
Studs.

The 2010 Photog Shootout Cross Country Trip was decided by the members of the group! Several messages were sent out to the group asking what cities would be interested in hosting a Photog Shootout Event. Well a familiar face and name recommended we come to Phoenix. I had seen Christy popping up on Facebook here and there. Most of the photos consisted of her jumping in the air and/or acting goofey with her Washington DC Photographer crew!
I had never officially met Christy…but I’m so glad I finally did! Her and her man Jasen helped plan and rock out the Phoenix Photog Shootout. We quickly hit it off…so much so that I invited them up to San Diego…and they actually came! We had dinner and desert on Friday, beach on Saturday and “traded” photography sessions on Sunday! Had such a blast with new friends! I love meeting new photographers along my journeys…..and its so rewarding to actually make new friends like Christy and Jasen. Did I mention they are badass photographers too?!?! Check them out: http://www.studiomoirae.com
Here is my fave shot from the Phoenix Photog Shootout!
Here are couple shots from our San Diego photography session.
Of course we got some awesome family pictures in San Diego with Christy and Jasen!

After almost 6 months of a min-vacation, finally I shot a “real job.” April and May are prime season for engagement pictures, which is then followed by weddings. So I met up with Brooke and Frank for their Ocean City Maryland engagement photos. We had the most interesting time. We shared many laughs. There were many firsts.
So while walking on the beach Brooke says, “Why does it look like that guy is getting a blow job over there?” I looked and replied, “Because he is!” Yes…430pm…on a Sunday….a man was getting a BJ! It was crazy! Then later on Brooke and Frank were pooped on by a random sea gull flying over head! Haha! Life as a wedding photographer is never dull!
