Today, I wanted to share all of my thoughts, feels and snaps behind my incredible labor of love on my blog. This was hands down the hardest thing I have ever done in my photography career. I’m not going to lie, hosting a workshop is tough. It was the first thing in my business I felt nervous about and I had serious doubts leading up to May: What if people didn’t buy tickets? What if attendees walk away feeling disappointed? What if I failed? Well, I’m here to tell you it was all worth it. The feeling of being able to give business owners tools to become more successful is an all time high feeling for me.

It’s difficult to put into words how much I adored this couple. It’s also hard to believe the only day I had ever met them in person was on wedding day! Ellie & Greg are insanely down to earth. While the two live in the most intense, high paced city in the world (New York) they could not be more opposite of the tense city vibe.

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!

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!

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.

Tory & Isaac met through mutual friends who stood by their sides as best man and matron of honor at their July wedding at the DC Arts Club. Their intimate city wedding was supposed to be nothing but rain all day but all we saw were tiny droplets here and there. It barely sprinkled on our Lincoln memorial parade as we walked with clear umbrellas in hand.

have only cried at 2 weddings this season: this was one of them. Jessica Green hired me to help capture this magical love story in DC and oh man am I glad she did! This was one of the most stylish weddings of 2016. Almila and Cameron got married at the Josephine Butler house this fall which has turned into my favorite venue!

If you ever wanted to see what an all American wedding looks like: this is it. Carolyn and Matt adorned the colors of the United States Flag- red, wedding white, and blue. This was the first wedding that truly felt like fall! Even her bouquet had hints of red and fall-esque florals. I was so thankful that Brett Denfeld hired me to help capture this day!
