This will forever be one of my favorite sweetheart sessions. Katie and Scott took the time our of their weekend to drive to Glamis for sunrise at the dunes and I am SO glad they did! The perfect light, an ideal wardrobe and the sweetest couple ever. How did I get so lucky?!

Glamis Sand Dunes Anniversary Session | California Wedding Photographer | Katie and Scott

 

When I think about my ideal client, I picture these two. Haley and Jesse are fun, stylish and overall, just two awesome people in love. Our session felt more like a hang-out than work. Haley works in events (hello dream bride) and Jesse does corporate real estate which, as someone who love business and buildings, I am fascinated by. To top it all off, they live in the amazing Apollo in downtown DC. I have been dying to photograph in this stylish building since it has opened and finally got the chance thanks to these darlings!

Cherry Blossom Engagement at the National Mall | DC Wedding Photographer | Haley and Jesse

I could photograph Marcella and Jamie all day long. These two were naturals in front of the camera. We woke up at 6am to be among the first at the Jefferson Memorial during peak cherry blossom bloom in Washington, D.C. It was actually about 40 degrees but you would never know with how amazing Marcella was in the cold (even in a dress)! Planning a photography session during “peak bloom” can be extremely challenging. The forecast this year had falsely placed the blooms a month early! They can bloom anytime between mid-March and early April so this requires a lot of flexibility on the part of both the clients and photographer! We definitely got lucky with our timing.

DC Cherry Blossom Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer | Marcella and Jamie

I met Cat and Adam during their visit to Washington DC. In the smallest world ever, Cat is my friend Katie’s future sister-in-law! She and Adam flew out to surprise her brother Jake for his birthday this year and we showed her a good old east coast night out. We bar hopped in Adam’s Morgan and even ended with some Korean Karaoke. When I found out that I would be flying out to Las Vegas, where these two adorable humans live, I knew that we would have to get together for an afternoon!

It has always been a dream of mine to photograph a couple in love in the National Parks and Zion is the mother-load. When you drive into the canyon, you can’t help but be in awe; my jaw literally dropped. The first day we were in Zion, we hiked Angels Landing. There are hundreds of mini hikes to do in this national park but we decided on Overlook Trail to snap these stunning images.

Zion National Park Engagement | Utah Wedding Photographer | McKenzi and Joey

It’s difficult to describe how much I loved this session. Morgan and Brent were just the most darling couple you have ever met. None of us had ever been to Horseshoe Bend so it was an experience for all of us! As we walked up to the overlook, we chatted about travel, relationships and photography: all of my favorite things. I found that these two had met through church and Brent proposed at their favorite sand dunes in their hometown! They definitely both embody young love and are such a fun, adventurous couple. In fact, Brent has been to all 50 states!

Horseshoe Bend Engagement Inspiration | Utah Wedding Photographer | Morgan and Brent

I am going to try to describe my love for this couple. They honestly are just so fun to be around. We spent 3 hours together and maybe an hour of that was actually shooting. They are sarcastic, interesting and super laid back individuals: just my type of people. They are getting married at the Wharf this November and I know I am going to feel more like a guest than a photographer! We actually casually planned sunrise at Jefferson before we knew about the cherry blossom dates! These two got super lucky with the weather and the blooms all at once!

DC Cherry Blossom Engagement Session | Washington DC Wedding Photographer | Emily and Toby

Allison and Dave are one of the most laid back couples I have worked with. The two met in DC and have lived in the city for years around Logan Circle so it stands to reason that we would snap engagement photos around the place they call home. We started at The Coffee Bar and got super lucky with an early blooming tree nearby!

Avantika contacted me a few months back to snap some classic DC engagement photos. When picking dates, I didn’t realize that her and her fiancee Felipe would need to fly in just for the occasion! The two met while getting their MBAs at Georgetown University and had since moved to Dallas to start their professional lived together.

I’ve known Lara since our high school, Freshman year Biology class. That was almost 15 years ago!! It is surreal for me that I am actually posting these photos. So much time has passed and our friendship has stayed just as strong ever since we were teenagers. I am beaming from ear to ear for her and Louis as they expect their first child: baby girl Olivia.
