WELCOME TO ROGER HAMMONS PHOTOGRAPHY

Deeply seen, deeply felt, deeply remembered.

 

We are a boutique Northern Virginia photography studio located in Ashburn, Virginia, specializing in wedding photography, portrait photography, and fine art photography.

We love to photograph Maryland weddings, Virginia weddings, and DC weddings of all traditions!  Whether yours is an opposite-sex marriage or a same-sex marriage, we'd love to get to know you and your unique love story.  And, however you and your family decide to celebrate two lives passionately shared -- religious or secular, traditional or avant garde, western or non-western -- we would be honored to capture those memories in wedding photographs that are deeply seen, deeply felt, and deeply remembered.

We provide commercial and lifestyle portrait sessions in our Loudoun County, Virginia studio or on-location within the greater Washington DC metropolitan area, including Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

We provide engagement photography sessions for MD VA DC wedding couples, whether we do the wedding photography or not.  These unique sessions are great fun, especially when the location and theme are tailored to the couple's love story.

Please enjoy my wedding photography, portrait photography, and fine art photography blog!  I hope you find the eclectic diversity of images -- as well as my thoughts on their design and creation -- both entertaining and educational.  

- Roger Hammons,  Ph.D., M.Photog.Cr, CPP

New Portrait Lighting Tricks | Northern Virginia Portrait Photographer

May 30, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
SOMETHING OLD | NEW | BORROWED | BLUE Invention is rare in portraiture. As photographers, we're constantly observing and incorporating "new" ideas--perhaps handed down for ages!--into our own approach. That's why I find it so interesting and fun to watch how other experienced photographers "see" and work. For me, the month of May was full of teac...
