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: March 21, 2010
Photo Session Location: Old Town Winchester, Virginia
Photo Session Details: I met Tiffany and Chris on a beautiful Sunday morning for their engagement photography session at the quaint walking mall in Old Town Winchester. For those unfamiliar with the walking mall, it is a mix of shops, restaurants and historical sites located in the heart of the city. The street is lined with beautiful 18th and 19th century buildings that make for great pictures. This was my first time holding an engagement session in Old Town Winchester and I know for certain I will be back there again! Being an early Sunday morning, there were not too many people on the streets, so we had a lot of room to work with for many of the photographs. It was a great way to start a Sunday morning and Tiffany and Chris were naturals when it came to posing for the camera!

Photo Session Date: March 19, 2010
Photo Session Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Session Details: This past weekend featured the first three-day stretch of gorgeous weather of the spring season – sunny and low 70s. Everyone and everything was outside enjoying the weather, including our pet russian tortoises! My wife placed the three tortoises we have outside to spend some time basking in the sun and snacking on tasty fresh green grass. I grabbed my camera and took a few photos of one of our tortoises. I’m not sure which one it is, but I’m sure my daughter could tell you since she gave them their names (Sherma, Duncan and Stripe Pumpkin).

Photo Session Date: March 6, 2010
Photo Session Location: Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester, VA
Photo Session Details: Karen and Michael are getting married next month and all of us wanted to work in an engagement photo session prior to the big day. The winter weather has been atrocious this year with record snowfalls. Fortunately, after weeks of bitter cold we were fortunate to have scheduled the session for the first nice weekend of the year. We held the photo session at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, VA which is home to a lovely art gallery and beautiful gardens when the flowers are in bloom. While photography is restricted to the first floor of the museum due to the artwork located on the second floor, we made the most of the opportunity and took some photos inside the main building and around the outside area bordering the gardens. It was still a bit chilly outside, but Karen and Michael were troopers and a fantastic couple to work with!

This series is part of an on-going 26-week project entitled the ABCs of Photography in which I take a few photographs each week centered on on specific letter of the alphabet.
L is for Light at a Construction Site - While on-site for some construction photographs last week in Middletown, VA, both of these light fixtures happen to catch my eye. I think it was their unusual shapes and how they really illuminated a very low-lit and industrial area, not to mention the extreme contrasts of dark and light.
“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
