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.

Sketch Name: Sleepless Haunted Owl
Thoughts While Sketching: It was raining outside and for some reason I was having thoughts of Halloween and haunted landscape scenery, which explains the backdrop here. The owl character popped into my head out of nowhere, and it really reminds me of a rejected McDonalds fry kid / fry guy.

Client: Riddle’s Hedgehogs (Christie Riddle)
Project Details: My wife often likes to take advantage of my passion for design. She used to run a very successful rabbitry, but has since decided to migrate over into breeding hedgehogs. Whenever she established a new venture, she asks for me to design her logo and promotional materials. Being she is my wife, I naturally charge nothing (aside from maybe a day to lounge around the house and do what I want!). Her only requirements for the logo was that it try to include the colors of brown, grey (hedgehog colors) and maybe a hint of purple (her favorite color).

Sketch Name: Roller Skating Robot Terror
Thoughts While Sketching: I have been doing a lot of “clean line sketches” as of late, hence the reason I decide to go ahead and colorize them. This guy reminds me of a robot you might see on The Jetsons gone hay-wire. In fact, his eyes even somewhat resemble those of Rosie the robot maid. Who knows what his intentions are other than he is heading this way . . . and heading there fast!

Client: Footprints of the Mind, LLC (Irene Antonoglu)
Project Details: The client, whom I have done illustrative work for in the past, expressed interest in having a logo designed for her business, Footprints of the Mind, LLC. I had the client fill out a questionnaire, and learned that the business targets parents that want something more for their kids and understand that young children are capable of critical thinking skills even when they cannot read or fully articulate their thoughts. Irene also stated that part of Footprints of the Mind’s mission is to help create a safe place on the internet for little children. The client hoped for the final logo to evoke feelings of playfulness and professionalism.

Photo Shoot Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Shoot Date: June 30, 2009
Photo Shoot Details: Birds have a tendency to build nests in the most unusual of places around my home. Last year I found a robin’s nest under the hood of my mini-van, with three healthy baby birds! My wife cared for them and they were ultimately given to a wildlife rescue facility in the area. This year, a mockingbird has decided to make a nest in a bush right next to the fenced-in section of my yard.
“Aaron is professional and courteous. He is very easy to get a hold of and flexible with changes. He quickly provided proofs and gave us a CD of all pictures included in contracted price. He is family and pet friendly (I am having him do a family project with pets). Even though he was one of the most reasonably priced photographers in our area, I didn’t feel that anything was sacrificed. He did a great job and I would recommend him to friends and family.” – Karen
