So, here's the deal. I was pretty stoked last week to be a part of a super special moment that went down in Florida - Doug's surprise proposal to Megan. Now, this isn't just any old engagement shoot that I was honored to be a part of, alright? This one hit close to home, literally.
&nbsp;
Why, you ask? Well, Doug and I go way back. We shared a dorm room and the tennis court during our college days. And Megan? She was part of the women's tennis team. That's how their love story started, right on the tennis court, amidst fierce serves and challenging backhands.
&nbsp;
So, you bet I had a whole flood of college memories rushing back while I was capturing their beautiful moments. It was nostalgic, it was emotional and above all, it was a beautiful testament to lasting friendships and love.
&nbsp;
Taking that trip down memory lane while also being a part of Doug and Megan's new journey was a surreal experience. I mean, who gets to do that, right? It was like reliving the past and celebrating the future, all at the same time.
&nbsp;
I don't want to wrap this up without extending a huge shout-out to everyone who's been part of my photography journey. Guys, your support means the world to me. I'm on cloud nine, and I'm truly grateful for all of you.
&nbsp;
So, here's to Doug and Megan, to surprise proposals and to capturing love in its purest form. Cheers, folks!

Capturing Love: The Surprise Proposal Story of Doug and Megan

I got the chance to participate in an East Asian-styled shoot featuring three 3 couples. I don't often shoot East Asian cultured weddings or events, even though I'm Vietnamese-American. So this was a fun-styled shoot that offers vignettes of a Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, and interracial couple. I also got to meet other photographers that are local to my area all the way to Ohio and the Midwest.
&nbsp;
I curated the images below to a single couple as I'm working on shooting with an editorial mindset.
&nbsp;
Big thanks to the planners, models, make-up artists and other vendors that made the shoot possible. and Special thanks to <a href="https://www.stonetowerwinery.com/weddings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stone Tower Winery</a> for hosting the styled shoot. Beautiful winery and venue.

East Asian Styled Shoot at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA

Finding a wedding photographer can be an overwhelming task. You post an "ISO" post on a wedding directory Facebook Group, and you can get a bunch of comments in less than five minutes. 
&nbsp;
I want to help you capture and create timeless memories you can reflect on many years after your wedding. 
&nbsp;
That being said, here are a few commonly asked questions...answered.

<h2>Are you available for my wedding?</h2>
My website directs you to a booking page with all my photography wedding packages. When you click on a wedding package, a calendar shows all my availability. So, when you request to book or photograph a picture, you will immediately know if I'm available. 
&nbsp;
Also, I'm available on most weekends, including holiday weekends. Fridays and weekdays are available on my calendar, but they have limited availability. If you're curious about a weekday wedding, please ask me for your booking with me at least six months in advance. That is also the same for destination weddings. 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>How long have you been shooting weddings?</h2>
I've been shooting weddings for about 2.5-3 years now. I started as a second shooter for multiple wedding photographers, who helped me understand the structure and timeline of wedding photography, whether it's a traditional wedding, a wedding involving multiple locations, or a cultural multi-day wedding.
&nbsp;
Here is a little fun fact about me: I was primarily a commercial/business event and headshot photographer before wedding photography. I was shooting for large events with over 15,000 attendees, political and public key figures, and large non-profit organizations. 
&nbsp;
Wedding experience 2.5-3 years now. Overall professional photography experience, over eight years.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Will you be the one shooting my wedding?</h2>
99.99% of the time, I will be the photographer shooting your wedding. That 0.01% chance is if I'm super sick or an event happens, I can't be there anymore. But you can always count on me as the wedding photographer you book and hire to capture your day!
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Will you have any assistants on our wedding day?</h2>
It depends on the package or if you add on a second shooter. I never charge extra for a photo assistant, but second shooters are always an add-on or part of your package. Second shooters are working with me to capture different angles and being two places in one if we are on a tight timeline. So, it never hurts to add on a second shooter or pick a package that includes a second shooter. 
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
&nbsp;
<h2>How many other weddings will you photograph that weekend?</h2>
For 2024, I'm photographing one wedding per weekend. This number varies year after year.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Can we see full galleries of a few recent weddings?</h2>
The answer will always be yes. On my website, I usually have a featured gallery that you can look at and review. However, you can always request to look at another gallery. 
&nbsp;
One thing to note. Before taking on wedding photography clients, I was second-shooting for other photographers. Therefore, many wedding galleries will miss photos like details, flatlays, getting ready, bride and bridesmaids, sunset photos, etc. I usually capture the groom and groomsman, cocktail hour, different angles during portrait sessions, and wedding party photos. However, when I'm hired to be a second photographer, I'm also prepared to take over as a lead photographer if the lead photographer is running late, has a car broken down, or caught COVID-19 or the flu. 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Do you often shoot weddings that have a similar size and style to the one we are planning? </h2>
The short answer is yes. I was a second/third shooter for many wedding photographers when I started shooting weddings. Some luxury photographers required me to sign an NDA about their clients and locations. Some are luxury South Asian weddings with over 500 guests, exclusive venues like the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, MD, and Perona Farms in New Jersey, all the way to weddings with a guest count of under 50 in a hotel conference room.
&nbsp;
I treat every wedding with the same passion and dedication, no matter the type of wedding. Here is a little fun fact about me: I was primarily a commercial/business event and headshot photographer before wedding photography. I was shooting for large events with over 15,000 attendees, political and public figures, and large non-profit organizations.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Have you shot a wedding at our ceremony and reception venues? If not, do you plan to check the venues out in advance?</h2>
Being a wedding photographer for a few years, I learned there are many ceremony and reception venues, so chances are I haven't shot a wedding at your venue...yet. 
However, I usually research the venue and arrive early at the venue for a quick walkthrough to find the best photo spots. I also gather "intel" from other vendors that have worked there to identify the best place to shoot.
If the venue allows me to do a visit/tour before your wedding, I will always go out and check it out!
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Have you worked with a planner or videographer?</h2>
Yes, I have worked with other planners and videographers in the past. I also offer video in my packages, so if you are interested in a photo and video package, feel free to email me or fill out a contact form to learn more. 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>How would you describe your photography style?</h2>
I recently wrote a quick blog about my posing and editing style that you can read more in-depth. In short, my photography shooting style is a mix of creative photojournalistic and traditional and edited photos that are more true to life with a pop of color. A few examples can be found below. 
&nbsp;

<h2>Do you shoot film?</h2>
No...not yet. I might bring a film camera, but most of the time, I'm using digital cameras. 
&nbsp;

Whether you are starting your search or in the deep end trying to find a wedding photographer, I hope this helps you understand what to ask before you book your photographer. You can always email or DM on Facebook or Instagram, @worndenlyweddings, if you have any more questions about finding a wedding photographer.

Answering 10 commonly asked questions when looking for a wedding photographer

Hey there! So, you've booked a photo shoot. The date is approaching, and that sneaky little thought creeps in - "What on earth should I wear?" As your photographer, I've got your back. Let's dive into this discussion like a swan into a serene lake - gracefully and without a splash! First off, remember this: comfort is key. If you're uncomfortable, it'll show in the pictures. So, choose outfits that make you feel like a rockstar, or a princess, or a suave secret agent - whatever floats your boat! Now, let's talk colors. Neutrals are a safe bet. They don't distract from your face and blend well with most backdrops. But hey, if you love that neon green shirt, bring it on! Just remember, the focus should be on you, not your clothes. Patterns can be a bit tricky. As a rule of thumb, small, subtle patterns work better than large, bold ones. But rules are made to be broken, right? Just make sure the pattern doesn't overpower the image. Now, onto accessories. They can be the cherry on top of a fabulous outfit. A statement necklace, a cool hat, or a vintage watch can add that extra oomph to your look. But remember, less is often more. Too many accessories can make the image look cluttered. Should you bring changes of clothes? Absolutely! Variety is the spice of life, after all. Different outfits can give a range of looks - from casual to formal, playful to serious. Just don't bring your entire wardrobe, okay? Now, let's address the elephant in the room - to match or not to match. If you're coming for a couples or family shoot, coordinating can be a good idea. But matching outfits? Not so much. It can look a bit cheesy. Instead, aim for a harmonious blend of colors and styles that reflect each person's individuality. One last thing, this is your photo shoot. Your pictures should reflect who you are. So, if you love that quirky sweater your grandma knitted, wear it. If your style is more t-shirts and jeans, that's awesome too. The most important thing is that you feel good in what you're wearing. Well, I hope this helps you in your quest for the perfect photo shoot outfit. Remember, these are just guidelines. You do you, and I'll do my best to capture your unique style and personality in the pictures. Can't wait to see you at the shoot! Cheers!

What to wear for your engagement shoot?

<h2 style="text-align: center;">I figure it will be best if I can answer some questions people ask me all the time. So here we go!</h2>

<h3>What's your editing style? </h3>
&nbsp;
My photo editing journey is a crazy rollarcoaster. I went from starting dark and moody to a bright and airy look that leans towards a warmer tone across the image. But I have now settled into a true-to-life with a pop of color editing style.
&nbsp;
My photography journey started as a photojournalist, shooting sports and events for a local newspaper. Working for a newspaper, I had to deliver an unedited, photoshop-free image with a fast turnover rate, so photos had to be ready to be delivered on camera. These days, I get a lot of my inspiration from photojournalism, especially wedding photojournalists. The way they incorporate everything from the background all the way to how they use light and color is what I strive to deliver for my couples.
&nbsp;
To put it in a few words, it will be Naturally Bold and Timeless.

<h3>How do I pose a couple?</h3>
&nbsp;
So it's funny to explain this because when I'm doing headshot photography for my corporate clients, I do a lot of coaching and direction when it comes to the classic white background headshot.
&nbsp;
For weddings, however, I would say it's 20% of the time, I'm doing my posing and coaching, and 80%, it's my version of photojournalistic. Most of the time I'm trying to find and capture creative candids, but if we have time to do some portraits, I will get my couple to act out photo prompts or use my favorite line, "Stand there, look at each other, and smile." That's what I did for this photo.
&nbsp;
Again to put it in a few words, 20% posed, 80% photojournalistic. I'm also a man of few words, so I also embrace laughter after a long pause of awkward silence
&nbsp;

How I pose couple and my editing style.

Yina &amp; Norman are once again, my friends during my time at Stevenson University. They met during college and have been inseparable. So when I learn they are engaged, I asked if they want to do an engagement shoot, and of course, they said yes! And so, we are back at Stevenson University, but for a whole different experience compared to Jess &amp; Matt's engagement shoot.
&nbsp;
We started the engagement shoot at the original campus, aka Greenspring Campus or what used to be known as Villa Julie College. What I like about this campus compare to the "Main campus" is the campus has a sense of nostalgia. Campus is filled with greenery, shade, and feels like a whole different school. Calm and peaceful is how I'll describe it.
&nbsp;
After a few shots, we switched to North Campus to grab photos at the Manning Academic Center. This building is where I had 90% of my undergraduate classes. It felt like being back at home. Guess the slogan, "SU is home," kind of fits the vibe for this shoot.
&nbsp;
Oh fun fact: Yina and Norman first met at this building during a communication class. So I told them to reenact their first day of class and play the giant Jenga sitting in the hall and do a walk through memory lane.
&nbsp;
In case you missed it, they had giant jenga pieces set up; they didn't have that back when we were students...
&nbsp;
Anyway, we then finished off with the classic bridge shot because it's too good of a spot to not say no.
&nbsp;
Thanks Yina &amp; Norman for allowing me to capture your engagement photos and looking forward to photographing your wedding at the Liriodendron Mansion in Harford County, Maryland.

Yina & Norman | Engagement Session at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, MD

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to capture the love story of JJ and Emilie during their engagement photoshoot in the picturesque setting of Havre De Grace, Maryland. Being a close acquaintance of JJ since his days on the Stevenson University tennis team, which he joined a year after I had graduated, made the experience all the more special. Emilie and JJ share an intriguing dynamic. Emilie, always encouraging JJ to channel his romantic side, would ironically cringe and playfully push him away when he did. The banter and unique chemistry made for some silly moments captured during the shoot. The decision to set their engagement shoot in Havre de Grace wasn't random. This quaint little town, with its riverside locale, exudes a charming small port town vibe. However, the real reason behind choosing this location was Emilie's insistence. Her brother had previously taken his senior photos here and she was adamant about following the tradition. Poor JJ, as smitten as he was, had little control over this decision. Their love story began in the least romantic of places - a science fair. Yet, the sparks flew and they've been inseparable ever since. Their shared sense of humor and undeniable compatibility make them a truly hilarious and endearing couple. They are now joyfully preparing to take the plunge and say their vows in Columbia, Maryland, in November 2024. I can't wait to capture their journey as they step into this new phase of life, with their love story continuing to unfold with every passing moment. Their engagement shoot was just the beginning, and I look forward to being there to document their big day. Their love story is a testament to the fact that love is found in the most unexpected places, and once found, it is a force to be reckoned with.

The question of when to schedule an engagement shoot is one that many newly engaged couples grapple with. The excitement of the proposal is still fresh, and you're eager to get started on all the fun wedding planning activities. But where does an engagement shoot fit into all this? Well, the answer is not as complicated as you might think.
&nbsp;
An engagement shoot, also known as a pre-wedding shoot, is a fantastic way to celebrate your commitment to each other before the big day. It's a chance to capture some intimate moments between the two of you in a more relaxed setting than your wedding day. Not to mention, these photos can be used for save-the-date cards, wedding websites, or just as a beautiful keepsake of this exciting time in your lives.
&nbsp;
Now, as to when you should schedule this shoot, there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, think about your wedding timeline. If you plan to use these photos for your save-the-date cards or wedding invitations, you'll need to schedule the shoot well in advance of your wedding date. A good rule of thumb is to have your engagement shoot around 6-9 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time to get your photos back from your photographer and to incorporate them into your wedding stationery.
&nbsp;
Secondly, consider the season. Do you want summery photos with lush green backgrounds? Or are you more drawn to the warm colors of fall? The season can greatly influence the look and feel of your photos, so make sure to factor this into your decision.
&nbsp;
Lastly, think about your own comfort and readiness. An engagement shoot can be a great way to get used to being in front of the camera, especially if you or your partner are feeling a little camera-shy. It's also an opportunity to get to know your photographer and understand their style before the wedding day. If you're still feeling a little overwhelmed with the proposal and the start of wedding planning, it might be worth waiting a few months until you feel more settled.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, the timing of your engagement shoot really depends on your personal preferences and wedding timeline. Whether you decide to do it right after your proposal or a few months down the line, the most important thing is to choose a time that feels right for you and your partner. After all, these photos will be a lasting reminder of this special time in your lives, so you want to make sure you're both feeling your best!

When to Schedule Your Engagement Shoot

For couples embarking on their journey towards marital bliss, the world of wedding photography can seem a bit overwhelming. Two of the most popular photo sessions are the engagement shoot and the bridal shoot. Though they might seem similar, they each have their unique characteristics and purposes.
&nbsp;
An engagement shoot, as the name suggests, takes place after a couple has gotten engaged, but before the wedding. It's a chance for the couple to celebrate their love and commitment, and it often captures the raw and candid emotions of this exciting period in their lives. This shoot is often more casual and can be done in a location that holds significance for the couple. Whether it's the place they first met or their favorite park, the setting often adds a personal touch that makes the photographs even more meaningful. Besides being a celebration of love, these photos can be used for save-the-date cards, wedding websites, or even just a beautiful addition to the family album.
&nbsp;
On the other hand, a bridal shoot is solely focused on the bride, showcasing her in her wedding dress. This is a traditional practice that offers a perfect opportunity to create stunning and memorable portraits of the bride in a relaxed environment, as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. It's a chance to experiment with poses, lighting, and locations to capture the bride in the most flattering ways. The bridal shoot usually takes place a few weeks before the wedding, and the photos often serve as a beautiful surprise gift for the groom on the wedding day.
&nbsp;
While both shoots are centered around the celebration of love and commitment, they each offer their unique advantages. The engagement shoot captures the couple's relationship dynamics and their love story, while the bridal shoot captures the timeless beauty of the bride in her wedding gown. Together, they create a comprehensive photographic narrative of the couple&rsquo;s journey to the altar.
&nbsp;
Both are wonderful traditions that add to the richness of the wedding experience. The key is to choose a photographer whose style you love and with whom you feel comfortable. After all, these are your memories being captured. Whether it's the playful affection in an engagement shoot or the ethereal elegance of a bridal shoot, these moments are a joyous part of the wedding journey, meant to be treasured for years to come.

Engagement, Bridal, or Both?

Being a documentary wedding photographer is a job that I take great pride in. My camera is my paintbrush and the beautiful moments of a wedding day are my canvas. But I must confess, I have a soft spot for small, intimate weddings. Why, you may ask? Well, let me take you on a journey of a typical small wedding day from my perspective.
&nbsp;
One of the first things that strike me about small weddings is that my clients tend to be more laid back. Perhaps it's because the guest list is more refined, or maybe it&rsquo;s the absence of overwhelming pomp and pageantry. Whatever the reason, these couples let me do my thing. They trust in my expertise and style, giving me the freedom to capture their special day in the most authentic way possible.
&nbsp;
This trust also translates into a less stressful environment. Large weddings, with their strict timelines and vast guest lists, can often feel like a high-pressure photo shoot. However, small weddings are different. The timelines are more relaxed, giving me the opportunity to take in the day, to absorb the atmosphere, to hunt for those perfect, candid shots. There&rsquo;s a rhythm to the day that&rsquo;s less rushed, less frantic. But don&rsquo;t mistake relaxed for unorganized. These weddings are usually meticulously planned, just without the time pressure. It&rsquo;s the perfect balance that allows everyone to enjoy the day without feeling rushed or late.
&nbsp;
But perhaps my favorite aspect of shooting small weddings is the sense of togetherness and intimacy. As the guest list is often limited to close friends and family, I become more than just the 'wedding photographer'. I get to be part of the celebration, interacting with the couple's closest loved ones. This closeness allows me to blend in, making the guests feel comfortable and more importantly, be themselves.
&nbsp;
And that&rsquo;s when the magic happens. People forget about the camera and let their guard down. The laughter becomes heartier, the tears more poignant, the embraces tighter. In these moments, I get to capture the raw, unfiltered emotions &ndash; the essence of the couple's special day.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, small weddings are a joy to photograph. They allow me to do what I love most - documenting precious, authentic moments. And that, my friends, is why I love to shoot small weddings.

Why I still shoot small weddings.

Wornden was amazing to work with for our engagement photos. He was very easy-going and pretty much let us do whatever we wanted but also provided guidance whenever we needed it. His style is more candid, which was the vibe we wanted to go for. We were BLOWN AWAY and really happy with the outcome of our photos!

Yina & Norman

Wornden captured combined graduation photos for me and my fiancé. He was professional, punctual, and so fun to work with. We received our beautiful photos within days and were beyond excited to share them. I highly recommend choosing Wornden as your photographer!

Kelsi & Collin

My husband and I highly recommend Wornden to take your pictures! He has been our photographer for everything - from our engagement to our wedding to even our family photoshoots. Wornden is kind, punctual, patient, super fun and one of the best photographers we know. He will take great care of you if you need any photos done!

Angie & Andre

Wornden was a pleasure to work with! We booked him last minute for a post-wedding photo shoot and love our photos. We spoke beforehand to go over what we wanted to get from the session, and Wornden pulled through. His photos were creative, had great lighting, and really captured the moment.
