Not only is this engagement a personal favorite because of the location but it’s also a favorite because MY GAL PAL KATIE IS ENGAGED! I met Katie almost 4 years ago when I was running around my apartment complex. She was walking her dog Windsor and I just had to stop and say hello. After a few chance encounters, we found that we had heaps in common: we love dance parties, photography and we’re both in education. As two girls in their twenties tend to do, we started watching the Bachelor together every Monday! Although she moved from the neighborhood, we kept our Monday night tradition and stayed friends through the stressors of building our businesses and figuring out life in DC. 

Katie met Jake outside of Arlington Mexican restaurant Don Titos. He was a charming military man with a nice smile and a great sense of humor. The two dated while Jake was serving our country and had the sweetest long distance romance. She even visited him in Korea! The two are now planning their wedding in Katie’s hometown of Johnstown, PA. August can’t come soon enough! Here are my favorite shots from our afternoon at the National Cathedral Gardens.
