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.

Photo Session Date: June 4, 2010
Photo Session Location: Jim Barnett Park, Winchester, VA
Photo Session Details: I met with Dale and Amber at Jim Barnett Park for their engagement photographs. I had never held an engagement session at the park before, so I arrived a bit early to scope out the location. To my surprise the park was very well kept and much more scenic than I thought (I had only previously visited the park for my kids’ swimming lessons). Dale and Amanda were naturals in front of the camera and we were even treated to seeing several adorable baby ducks in the nearby pond. Dale and Amanda are getting married in September and I am really looking forward to being a part of their wedding!
Testimonial: Dale and I love love LOVE the photos. You did an amazing job and we are very pleased and very excited for you to do the wedding. – Amanda

Photo Session Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Session Details: Corey and Amber’s (view their engagement session) wedding was held at the Greenwood United Methodist Church in Winchester, Virginia. It was a bright sunny day and that helped to really illuminate the interior of the church, allowing for some great lighting. The ceremony was traditional, however Corey and Amber decided to make a unity sand sculpture (using blue and white sand) as opposed to a unity candle, which was a really fantastic idea. That way they have something permanent to cherish from their wedding ceremony, along with the photographs I took for them. Also their reception featured two unique items as well: centerpiece fish bowls with beta fish and a groom cake of a bride holding back the groom from a car (Corey is a mechanic and certified car nut). Congratulations to Corey and Amber!

Photo Session Date: May 30, 2010
Photo Session Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Session Details: This past weekend my wife and I threw a little family birthday party for my two-year old daughter. Naturally there was cake (home-made by my wife of course), decorations, food (hedgehog watermelon!) and presents. However, the “hit” of the party was my brother’s dog, Butters. Visiting from north of Baltimore, my brother and his girlfriend brought their dog along and my children absolutely loved her. I know that any day now I will probably begin to hear the words “Daddy I want a dog”. Maybe in 10 years….

Photo Session Date: May 20, 2010
Photo Session Location: White Fence Bed and Breakfast, Stanley, Virginia
Photo Session Details: Paul and Natasha contacted me to photograph their wedding vow renewal ceremony in Stanley, Virginia. They were first married 5 years ago, but according to them, their first wedding was less than memorable in which everything that could go wrong did (their photographer even ran out of film…which I cannot comprehend). For their vow renewal ceremony, they decided to have a small, intimate ceremony attended by only them, the officiant and myself for photography purposes. I think Natasha’s words best help describe the theme of their ceremony:
The theme is celtic, dragons, medieval, a little french (fleur de lys) mixed with modern day formal wear . We are Laird and Lady of Lochaber Scotland. We have purchased land there and have a title. In fact, we’re going to make it official for our wedding day (signing of the papers) even though we bought the land last year. My husband is Scottish and we are honoring his heritage. He will be wearing a fly plaid tartan and I will be pinned with his clan’s tartan sash and take my oath.

Walking out to my office the other night, I looked up into the sky and saw this beautiful cloud formation. It was getting late and the sun had set, but its orange glow was still evident on these very large, puffy clouds. There was a sever thunderstorm watch in the area, so I can only assume that had something to do with this peculiar and gorgeous formation.
“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
