When other photographers hire me, it is an extreme honor! Artists appreciate great art! These two traveled in to DC to celebrate a romantic weekend and snap some engagement images before their Vegas elopement later in the year! Lincoln Memorial in winter is austere and beautiful! Here are my faves from Emma and Ben!

A rainy day proposal in the district, what could be more romantic?! Such an important question deserves a moment to shine and the National Cathedral was the perfect spot for their DC proposal.

Liz and Thomas, what a pair! Thomas proposed at the Jefferson Memorial but since it was under construction, we pivoted to take photos at Lincoln! They got a perfect sunrise before popping champagne at Union Station! A lifetime of happiness awaits!

Katie and Haakon had one of my favorite engagement sessions of all time! This secret DC garden blooms in Wisteria once a season and sometimes freezes over and dies so you can’t count on it yearly! They timed it just right and has the best sunny weather before heading over to Union Station. Stunning kids!
