John and Maria found me through past clients and just knew they wanted DC Monument engagement photos.

We woke up early to catch the sunrise light and were […]

Elizabeth and Connor met in DC so they just knew they wanted a classic DC engagement session. Although they’ll be getting married in Austin, Texas (where this bride to be is originally from), they wanted to celebrate where they built their life together.

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 […]

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!
