Lunar Eclipse, Winter Solstice Tuesday 12/21/10

They say it's a rare treat we got just a few days before Christmas, that beautiful site was a lunar eclipe. A lunar eclipe takes place when the sun, Earth and moon are all perfectly aligned with the Earth in the middle. When the moon passes behind the Earth, the sun's rays are blocked from striking the moon. This can only occur when the moon is full.

This year's only lunar eclipse actually coincided with the winter solstice, meaning that the moon will appeared high in the night sky, aiding visibility for revelers.  The total lunar eclipse was a wonderful sight to see.  Here are the photos taken this morning.

Wedding: Marybeth & Tom

It was a joyous fall day. What made the day so joyous is was warm energy that came from Marybeth and Tom. They are truly an amazing couple. They made me feel like I was a long lost friend with their kindness.  It was a pleasure documenting their wedding and here are the some of photos I took.

The ceremony took place at Saint Thomas More Cathedral.






















We moved outside the church to take a few photos. I just loved the flowers.





Now it was off to Rosslyn for the portrait session.








It was a honored to capture Marybeth and Tom's special day and I thank Hennessey for asking me to come along. Team Hennessey, Zhia and Mark photograph another wedding together.

Cantoire Christmas Fashion Show

This past weekend I put on my photojournalist hat on and had the pleasure photographing a Christmas fashion show at THEARC presented by Cantoire.  The Cantoire Christmas Fashion Show show was part of Winter Praise Fest and Toy Drive. The fashion show was dubbed "CHRISTMAS: The Haute Couture Version" by Cantoire.

Cantoire is lead by Carlos Reaves.  Carlos has always incorporated his sense of style into every aspect of his life. By being a trend setter since his early childhood days, Carlos decided to set a new path in the fashion industry by launching a “made-to-order” fashion company in 2003.  For more information on Cantoire visit their site at: http://www.cantoire.com.

Also I want to thank Martin Kim for coming along.  While I was setting up I asked Martin to take photos to ensure that Carlos had more photo coverage for the event.  Once Martin has his photos up I'll post a link to his gallery on my Facebook fan page.  So be sure to follow me on book.  You can do that by visiting http://www.facebook.com/PhotographybyMarkAnthony.

Now here is are the photos.  You'll get a glimpse of what happens behind back stage and see the photos from the show.

















Now it's time for the fashion show.












That concludes the fashion show.
