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.

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.
J is for Joharv the Cat - I will start by saying up front that I am not a cat person. Joharv is my wife’s cat and he came along with her as part of getting married. However, if I was a cat person, Joharv would certainly be the type of cat I would have. He is a breed of bengal and is one of the absolute most friendliest cats you will ever meet. He even knows how to do a few tricks (sit, up and fetch). The interesting thing about these photographs to me is that they seem to exhibit his “bengal” side…almost tiger-like in a way. He is a beautiful breed of animal…cat fan or not.

Photo Session Date: January 20, 2010
Photo Session Location: Winchester, VA
Photo Session Details: Family portraits are on par with weddings as my favorite type of subject matter to photograph. Don’t get me wrong…I will photograph anything and everything and love doing it…but there is something special about being around a happy family and capturing their moments together. The Collegeman family was a great example of this. The husband and wife were naturals in front of the camera as I took their pictures and their adorable 4-month-old daughter seemed to enjoy it just as much. Maybe it was my funny looking camera equipment, but the baby gave me more than enough smiles for the pictures

Photo Session Date: January 15, 2010
Photo Session Location: Romney, WV
Photo Session Details: Ashby Embrey, owner and DJ for Part “Ay” Music, requested that I photograph a teenager’s birthday party they were providing DJ services for. The party was a blacklight party, and I knew right away this was going to be a challenge. Any hint of a flash or external lighting would kill the blacklight effect within the photograph, not to mention that there would be a great deal of dancing and motion within the photographs. As a photographer, light is your best friend and for this request I knew I would not have much of it to work with. The resulting photographs turned out fairly well in my opinion and I learned a great deal from this experience (ideas on how to get even better photographs the next time around). I hope to work with Ashby and his DJ services company again in the near future to photograph more of their events.
“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
