Soon I was assisting the staff photographers as a wedding photojournalist, which was at the time a brand new approach to weddings in a traditional industry. Inspired by my colleagues ~ photojournalists shooting long term personal projects on the side, I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I worked and lived on ranches, capturing the connection between ranchers, their livestock and the land; documenting a rugged yet romantic lifestyle threatened with extinction. My words and images were published in local newspapers and national magazines and exhibited in galleries and museums in Jackson Hole and Santa Fe, New Mexico.</p> <p dir="auto">I met my husband Kevin while living in Wyoming. We lived in Annapolis, Maryland for twenty five years with our two daughters, Sophie and Eliza, and Sawyer, our beloved rescue dog. I was voted "One of Washington D.C.’s Best Wedding Photographers" by the Washingtonian Magazine for fourteen years, and I also included family, corporate and political portraiture and events into my repertoire.</p> <p dir="auto">After a recent battle with breast cancer, a new perspective and a move back to Vermont, my daughter Sophie Macaluso and I have teamed up as a mother daughter wedding photography duo!</p> <p dir="auto">Sophie is a Washington DC lifestyle photographer who loves everything DC. She is always impressing me with her assignments that include public transportation adventures to monuments at dawn, hundreds of Nats games, dog parks and events of all kinds in her beloved city! Recently engaged and planning her own wedding, she has given us both a new perspective on the wedding industry. Together we have so much to offer. I would love the opportunity to come down to DC, crash on her couch with my granddog Cowboy and capture the joy and beauty of your day!</p> <p dir="auto">MeetSophie: <a href="https://sophiemacphoto.com/about" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sophiemacphoto.com/about</a></p> <div class="contentSpan"> <div class="tableDivDisplay widthautomax1100 pad10"> <div class="zrow"> <div class="zcol big-6 smaller-12 vertaligntop alignleft" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/users/AmyRaab15724/MeandSoph.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 167px;" /><br /> <img alt="Washingtonian 2013 Best Wedding Vendor" src="/users/AmyRaab15724/bestweddingvendorSmall.jpg" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin: 9px;" /></div> <div class="zcol big-6 smaller-12 vertaligntop alignleft"><strong><span style="color:#000000">Wedding Philosophy</span></strong> <p><span style="color:#000000">It is truly an honor and a thrill to become part of the lives </span><span style="color:#000000">of each new couple that we work with every year, and to be chosen to capture the memories of the most important chapter in the story of their love.  </span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">Today's engaged couple invests so much time and work into planning every detail of their wedding. We are responsible for capturing it all; the beauty of the setting, joyous moments between loved ones, the budding rose on a single boutonniere. Our </span><span style="color:#000000">everlasting images</span><span style="color:#000000"> will shape the memories of a couple's wedding day for their entire lifetime and for generations of their family to come. </span><span style="color:#000000">What other part of a wedding has the power of photography? </span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">Out of all the wedding expenses a couple must budget for, not only is photography the most important part, but it is the only thing that will increase in value over time.</span><span style="color:#000000"> Our clients choose us because they know how to invest their money wisely. </span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">I accept a maximum of 20 weddings per year in order to form a relationship with every couple to provide them with an amazing, highly personalized experience and the best quality imagery in the industry. Prior to the wedding, we work closely with them in their planning process to ensure that their wedding day runs smoothly and that they get to enjoy every minute of their wedding day, including the time spent taking group shots!</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">Our goal is to capture the beauty, joy and spirit of their day in an artistic, photojournalistic and unobtrusive way. </span><span style="color:#000000">We are known for our unobtrusive and easygoing approach, yet we know when to take charge of a situation to get the "must have" shot done!  Our experience gives us the confidence to know that we will capture all of the traditional wedding images plus hundreds of unscripted moments, so we can relax and have fun with people, which reflects in their faces.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">I have 25 years of experience as a wedding photojournalist and business owner. My post production includes no outsourcing of the editing, processing or design work, and no drop shipping; I personally edit, retouch and inspect every print and album that leaves my studio. In other words, I am a total perfectionist when it comes to my work!</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000">I would love to meet with you sometime to show you more of our work.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </span> </div> <div> <script src="/js/js.js"></script> <script defer src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" data-pin-build="parsePinBtns"></script> </body>
