I don’t know how to put this yearly post into words. Like many, 2020 was slated to be my best, most profitable year yet… but make plans and the universe laughs. When the pandemic shutdowns began, I assumed quarantine would be over by fall. Welp, the joke was on me and I am always reminded […]

Savannah and Nick flew in from Charlotte to snap this engagement session and oh man, it was a good one! Even in winter, the Lincoln Memorial is stunning! I was a little worried about the weather (it was 35 degrees this morning) but Savannah was a champ and laughed through the entire hour. My hubby […]

Some mornings are just better than others. The forecast actually said overcast but MAN I am glad we kept this date. The fog made for this stunning diffused light so that Emily and Will had some epic, dramatic sun. Some locations just never get old! At the end of the session they joked about how […]

I knew Sophie and Jack would have a fire session! Anytime a couple tells me thy love film, I know they have an eye for art and probably style. This was absolutely true of these two! They chose Meridian Hill park on one of the last beautiful fall days. We arrived early in the morning […]

Some couples I just bond with immediately. That’s how it was with Omar and Arezo. They have infectious personalities and are constantly laughing with one another. Their light hearted personalities and goofy spirits lift up everyone around them. I actually met these two through fate: Omar proposed at the DC war memorial just moments before […]

Krissy and Avinash are one of my 2020 couples turned 2021! They actually had a small ceremony to make it official right before these portraits so it was just such a stroke of luck that we would run into the Just Married Jacket rep for DC at their sunrise engagement session at the monuments. If […]

Who else here hates COVID? Well, Emily and Andrew took on their wedding day in my favorite way in 2020: a fun elopement inspired day with hopes of a big party later! These two booked a room at the historic Hay Adams hotel to celebrate, complete with a doggy bed for their pup Rilo. They […]

Liz and Adam originally planned to have a small wedding with immediate family but with new COVID restrictions being released daily, they decided to elope just the two of them! When Liz was looking into venues, I couldn’t help but suggest the historic Meridian House. It’s such a slice of Europe nestled in the district […]

Milan and Garrett are couple goals. They are not only chic and stylish but STUNNING and fun! I threw them right into posing and they were pretty much down for whatever. These two planned to get married in Greece but with travel shut down, they postponed another year. Lucky for me, they decided to celebrate […]
