Have you ever experienced 4 seasons in a day? Welp, we did yesterday. Actual sleet, gusts of wind & shining light treated us to one wild day in the district but Irene & Matt had a blast in every weather scenario. Cherry blossoms lined their Wharf nuptials & Greek music serenaded their reception. Cheers to […]

Cherry Blossom DC Wedding | Spring District of Columbia Wedding | Intercontinental Wharf Wedding | Irene and Matt

Meridian house is probably my favorite wedding venue in DC. It is in the heart of the district but it feels like you’re in Europe. MC and Bill had an intimate church wedding in spring before heading to Meridian for cocktails, dinner and dancing. Effortless elegance was the theme for their spring DC wedding and […]

This was Rachel and Marie’s second reschedule. Once the pandemic hit, these two moved their wedding to 2021… but since they had family traveling from out of town, they switched yet again to March for their spring wedding at Stone Tower. Little did we all know there would be a freak snow storm blizzard that […]

Lincoln Memorial Engagement Pictures | Washington DC Summer Engagement | Anna and Tom

Who loves a garden engagement? I think Oatlands grounds are some of my favorite to photograph in. They look stunning all year long and have an English Garden in Virginia feel to them. Just an hour outside of DC, this garden engagement session wows! Congrats to these soonlyweds and I hope their wedding day is […]

Oatlands Engagement Session | Virginia Garden Engagement Pictures | DC Garden Engagement Photos

Every year, once a year, Ben and I pay for professional photos. I cherish photos of our parents and grandparents from their youth/time before children so I want to be sure to memorialize this time in our life. While we were in vacation in Lake Como, we decided to snap some portraits at Villa Balianello […]

This doesn’t include hosting a workshop, attending the Knot gala and capturing […]

2022 Year in Review | Luxury Virginia Weddings | DC Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben |

Claire and Sean had a perfect day on the wharf and they deserved nothing less! They had such a low-key day of photos, an electric dance party & late night drinks at a Tiki Bar that really celebrated their easy going nature as a couple. I’ll sign off with my favorite quote from the end […]
