Anna and Rohan wanted a springtime DC engagement session and OH MAN did nature deliver! Our first stop was the Washington National Cathedral before heading to this magnolia paradise. I know everyone loved cherry blossoms but I think the magnolia saucers show better in photos! What do you think??

Caleb and Nicole wanted sweet spring DC engagement photos and did Georgetown deliver! Wanting to avoid the crowds at the cherry blossoms, we opted to catch the magnolias instead. A little chilly but a lot of sun met us at these pink flower trees in DC. Here are some of my favorites from their DC […]

Leila and Josh JUST missed cherry blossom season but, no big! We were able to take a few Kwanzan blossom photos instead! These bloom right after cherry season and we were able to find a grove right near the heart of the national mall. We started at Jefferson and made our way to the Capitol […]

Have you ever experienced 4 seasons in a day? Welp, we did yesterday. Actual sleet, gusts of wind & shining light treated us to one wild day in the district but Irene & Matt had a blast in every weather scenario. Cherry blossoms lined their Wharf nuptials & Greek music serenaded their reception. Cheers to […]

Blake knew he wanted to propose with the Capitol in the background and this was the perfect secluded spot to surprise Caroline with the ring of her dreams!

Lily and Ben are two of my all-time favorite clients! When I had to pick models for a mentoring session, they were the first couple I thought of! I actually shot their wedding during the pandemic but we never did an official engagement together so this was the perfect excuse to get together again and […]

It’s evenings like this one that make me believe in love. Jessica and Bryant eloped on the national mall on a Wednesday. With the pandemic in full swing, they decided to make private vows to one another and self-officiate at the DC War Memorial. We took a handful of portraits at Lincoln before walking to […]

I just love when a gal has a signature color. Rachael showed up in this stunner and I knew it had to be a thing. She even has a green engagement ring! She’s basically a real life Elle Woods but subbing out green for pink. These two got super lucky with the cherry blossoms this […]

Spring DC Engagement Session | Cherry Blossom Season District of Columbia | Rachael and Charles

First comes love then comes marriage…. then comes engagement session?? Welp, if 2020 taught us anything it’s that life can be unpredictable. I actually photographed Erinn and Jon’s intimate Anderson House wedding mid-pandemic last year and we realized they never actually took engagement photos! When they reached back out I was over the moon excited […]

Rose-Helen and Filippo were my first ‘pink tree’ clients of the year! Knowing that the tidal basin might be shut down due to COVID, we decided to go for magnolia photos instead; and oh boy, was it a treat. We began at sunrise at the Enid A Haupt Garden with their adorable puppy Roots (who […]
