Washington DC Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

I have been drawn to the idea of intimacy on film for quite some time now. About a year ago, Ben and I did an intimate portrait session in our condo. Since I drag my poor husband in front of the camera about once a year, he is well versed in all of the possible […]

This adventurous couple could be the poster couple for Hawaiian vacations. Although there are endless stunning beaches in Kauai, Julia and Scotty decided to snap engagement photos at Tunnels Beach. It was an overcast morning and it actually started raining halfway through this session. You’d never be able to tell based on how these lovely […]

The world has a very strange way of bringing people together. This session made me believe in fate. I met Brianne through Instagram a few years back. We both shared a love for photography, Star Wars, animals and have the same sense of humor. I met her and Justin in Houston about 3 years ago […]

I think one of my favorite things in this career is when my couples trust me whole heartedly. When you put faith in the creatives you hire, magic can happen. That is exactly what Karly and AJ did!

I absolutely love it when client suggest engagement locations. I had never heard of Chapman State Park but now, it’s one of my favorite places in the area. This venue has it all: a charming manor, tall grass fields and a small beach at the bottom of the hill. Lisa and Jason like to go […]

Devin and Jeff are an adorable fun-loving pair. We were cracking jokes all morning even at 6:45AM. I loved being able to snap these engagements in fall because in under one calendar year, I will be back with these goofballs photographing their fall Stone Tower Winery wedding. I know they were a tad nervous being […]
