Victoria and Mike are the sweetest pair! They decided to elope officially before moving off to Hawaii for work! I am so jealous that they’re now living the island life but I will forever keep this day in my heart of the 3 of us popping champagne and cutting cake on the National Mall. If […]

I always feel a sense of pride and humility when a couple asks me to photograph their elopement or intimate wedding. In some cases, I am the only one to witness their vows. In this case, it was only immediate family! It feels so so special to be one of 8 guests. Taine and Tim, […]

When Karen and Ben told me I could choose their engagement session location, I knew exactly where I wanted to take them. I absolutely love the National Portrait Gallery and the Riggs hotel.

Destination engagements are by far a favorite. They have become few and far between since I just don’t have the capacity in my schedule to take over 30 trips for each of my 2023 weddings. That said, I loved this chilly NYC engagement with Angeline and Kevin! We started in Central Park and made our […]

I absolutely loved photographing Gaby and Phil. They both have such contagious laughs and huge stunning smiles. They not only brought their pup along but had Carla Pressley beauty to really help Gaby shine! We had perfect sunset weather for their Georgetown garden engagement session. We even got to wander over to the alcoves! Two […]

When discussing engagement photos, these two knew they wanted classic DC, particularly because the bride has work ties to the hill! When I mentioned the speakers balcony, Maria had the hookup! We got access for engagement photos INSIDE the capitol which was a huge bucket list item for me! We ended the morning with a […]

When Kailyn came to me asking for a moody, modern look in DC, I knew exactly where to take them. These two are super chic and have style for days. The columns of Lincoln and cobblestone streets of Georgetown really complimented their look. I’m sure their wedding out west will be just as stunning. Here […]

I think Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral is my favorite place to take engagement photos in DC. When asked about best gardens in Washington DC, I always tend to suggest this hidden gem. These flowers and landscaping is well worth the photo permit! Here are my favorite images from C&B’s DC engagement session. Spring […]
