My name is Aaron Riddle and I am a professional photographer residing in Winchester, Virginia. I specialize in wedding photography, portrait photography and special event photography needs.

I tell stories through my photography by capturing candid moments and preserving them in time to show the beauty of a wedding, the happiness of an event or intimacy of a kiss shared by a newly-engaged couple.

Logo Design for Student Fundraising Campaign

Student Fundraising Logo FINAL

Client: Local Phi Theta Kappa Chapter

Project Details: A local Phi Theta Kappa chapter (PTK student honor society) at a nearby community college requested that I design a logo for their fundraising campaign to be launched in the fall of 2009. The premise and slogan behind the campaign is “Your change can change lives”. This slogan comes from a story told by the chapter’s advisor of how he collected spare change in a jar to help fund a family member’s College education from when she was born until she graduated high school.

From the Sketchbook: Baghead Sports Jersey Guy Cartoon

Baghead Broom Sweeper Cartoon

Sketch Name: Baghead Sports Jersey Guy Cartoon

Thoughts While Sketching: This sketch was spurred initially by the professional football fans that wear bags on their heads when their teams are horrible (Saints fans, I’m looking at you). That is where the bag head and sports jersey portion of the sketch originates from. I wanted to put something in the character’s hand, and the broom was the first thing that came to mind.

Photography – Monarch Butterfly in the Backyard

Monarch Butterfly Backyard Color 450

Photo Shoot Location: Winchester, Virginia

Photo Shoot Date: August 8, 2009

Photo Shoot Details: During the evening I often spend time outdoors with my two daughters (one and three years old). This particular evening we were chasing moths around a bush in our backyard, when a monarch butterfly happened to flutter on by. It would land on flowers nearby, and fly away once my three-year-old rushed over to see it. She said that she wanted me to take a photograph of it, so I did not want to disappoint her. I waited for the butter fly to land, and snapped the above shot.

Photography – Middletown Virginia Sunrise


Middletown Virginia Sunrise Post

Photo Shoot Location: Middletown, Virginia

Photo Shoot Date: August 5, 2009

Photo Shoot Details: I took this photograph around 6:20 a.m. in Middletown, Virginia. The colors of the sun and the sky caught my eye as I was driving towards route 11, so I had to park my car on the side of the road and snap this one. My pants got a little wet from the morning dew on the high grass, but it was well worth it.


From the Sketchbook – Angry Twitter Bird

Angry Twitter Bird

Sketch Name: Angry Twitter Bird

Thoughts While Sketching: There seems to be a lot of ranting and venting that goes on via Twitter. I know I see many-a-tweet from those I follow ranting about computer problems, political issues and everyday annoyances. This sketch of a twitter bird reflects that mindset when rant-a-tweeting (new term!).
