Halfway through this darling engagement session, Brittany and Andrew felt as though they had to confess something to me… They were UNC alumni! In college, there was no feud more powerful than the one between UNC and Duke but weirdly enough, even though I am a Blue Devil through and through, some of my very best friends went to UNC!

So Brittany & Andrew’s “confession was met with laughter and heaps of inside jokes.

I must confess, I am a sucker for bloggers. In my business, I have recently moved away from lifestyle photography to focus more on weddings, anniversaries and engagements.

I met Himanshu and Shuchi on a sunny Saturday afternoon at the Georgetown waterfront. After they complimented me on my camera, we got to talking and I handed them my business card thinking nothing of it. A week later, Himanshu emailed me saying that he was planning on proposing the very next week after we had met! How fortuitous!

With all this rain we have been having, Stephanie & Nick were honestly blessed to have had a stunning, sunny outdoor ceremony! The two had an intimate wedding in Alexandria and were surrounded by family and friends as they said “I Do” at Cedar Knoll Inn. This was my first time shooting at this location and I can’t wait to return!
