allie & chase tie the knot!!

I have known Allie for close to ten years, we met at my friend Frantz Sebastian's salon. I would do there windows and floral displays (yes, I do that too, more on that later.) and she was the receptionist. She had told me since the beginning that she would want me to photograph her wedding, ten years later I did and it was beautiful to capture the love of someone who has been loyal to my work for so long. Not to mention how laid back she is, she actually hopped in my car for a ride to the ceremony!! How cool is that!!

Allie and Chase decided to have a lovely farm wedding at Mathwig Barn in Thurmont, Maryland. The skies were clear and the weather was crisp and still warm for Fall. Take a look and don't forget to check out the video. xo Dominique

Special thanks to my second shooter Sebastian Marin, who photographed the guys getting ready and ceremony! Check out his work here http://www.sebastianmarin.photo

Lucia's Photo Therapy shoot. She wanted it to involve her horse Coosa, we gave her a glam look and also a relaxed laid back sexy vibe.  

It is a day to feel good about yourself and build confidence in a secure and fun environment. I receive all kinds of request, from divorcees wanting to feel sexy again and get back in the game, they are entering a new chapter in their lives and want to reflect the happier new version of themselves. I get women who are self conscious and need a little pick me up. I get woman that want to do something for their significant other. I also get woman that are proud of their body and all the hard workouts and want to show it off!  But whatever your reason is for doing Photo Therapy you can't deny the way it makes you feel...GOOD! That's why it's called therapy.

Getting Lucia ready for her second look...

So let me take you through a little background on how the session goes. We start off with a couple emails or a phone conversation on what you dream of doing- wether it be channeling Beyonce in a shoot or rinding a horse in an evening gown it can be done. I tailor a shoot with your thoughts in mind and create a custom photo shoot editorial. Equipped with hair stylist,  make-up artist and a styled wardrobe fit for your shoot. Thats right... I shop for you and pull clothing from some of my favorite shops and my own collection. ;) Basically you're walking into your own photo shoot like a celebrity would- only I am your photographer with an amazing supportive team of creative artist to make you look and feel your best. Not to mention I will entertain you the whole time with my slew of accents that just happen to pop out of my mouth at any given moment ( I can go from Irish to Jamaican in one breath ). 

So If you like to be entertained, have fun, play dress up and get some amazing images to show off. Than 'Photo Therapy' is for you. Look forward to shooting and hanging out with you!! xox

We saw a field on the way home, so of course we stopped and played around. 

That's a wrap! 

Lucia's words......What happens when you combine confidence, beauty, fashion and a camera? Photo Therapy with Dominique Fierro. My Photo Therapy session with Dominique was an amazing experience. Dominique styled me from head to toe and planned my hair and make-up look with the hair and make-up artist she brought to the shoot, Abigail de Casanova. I was transformed and felt amazing. The entire day was fun and natural. I’ve never felt so good about myself. The photos were stunning. It is an experience I will always treasure.- Lucia
