I just adore couples that talk about pizza and their animals. Molly and Dan were a blast to hang out with at their engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial. They had just gotten a new puppy named Jake so naturally, labs were a big topic of conversation. The weather was stunning so, naturally, we had to get creative with the tourists around at sunset but these two were troopers waiting for the right moment to snap these images!

THIS SESSION RIGHT HERE. Wow. Bri and Nic heated up the monuments on this overcast sunrise engagement session. The second Bri arrived in that dress, my jaw dropped. Doesn’t she look stunning!? Maxi dresses at engagement sessions are my fave.

Lincoln Memorial DC Engagement | DC Wedding Photographer | Bri and Nic

This summer, I had the pleasure of photographing David and Becky. Becky was referred to be by a mutual friend who works in her office, Greg Millwater. As it turned out, I actually already knew her fiance! David and I were the same year as Teach for America Corps members! Out of the entire DC region, David and I were buddies because we both had a love of sarcasm. It was fate that years later, I would get to hang out with this magnificent couple by capturing their wedding day! We snapped these portraits at the National Portrait Gallery and Yards Park near their home!

National Portrait Gallery Engagement | Yards Park Engagement | Rebecca and David

To say I have a couple crush on these two is an understatement. David and Meaghan are the ultimate college sweethearts! These two were so natural in front of the camera, I barely had to pose them at all. Even during our rainy session on Georgetown’s campus, these two shined on camera.

Georgetown Engagement Session | DC Wedding Photographer | Meaghan and Dave

I adored this sunrise session with Amy and Craig. These two toured me around their neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant Saturday morning before the farmer’s market. I never dreamed there would be so many fun nooks and crannies just around the corner from their town house!

Mt. Pleasant Engagement Session | DC Engagement Photographer| Amy and Craig

I truly feel like people can never escape their childhood. For me, this is a fantastic thing! Bianca reached out to me through a mutual friend from my high school! I went to Atlantic High together in South Florida with our mutual gal pal Jackie Erdo. I just love that the people I was friends with at home are still in my corner despite that it has been ten long years since 2007!

National Mall Engagement | Enid Haupt Garden, Smithsonian Carousel and National Gallery of Art | Bianca and Brian

This was the sweetest engagement session of the year. When Courtney contacted me to snap some quintessential DC photos, I assumed the couple just thought the city was pretty. Little did I know, the pair wanted to document all the spots special to them before starting their new life in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Library of Congress Engagement | The Quill and Old Ebbitt Grill Romance | Courtney and Eddie

Capturing proposals is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I get to play spy for the day & witness one of the most romantic moments in a person’s life! When Corie contacted me about snapping engagement photos for her brother, I couldn’t wait to hear details.

Cherry Blossom Proposal | Washington DC | Philip and Delia

Tory & Isaac are the sweetest couple ever. We first met last month for gelato at Dolcezza to discuss their vision for their wedding this July. You could tell by the way they talked about it that they just want to have a fun filled day surrounded by friends and family.

Rock Creek Park Picnic Engagement | Bethesda Engagement| Tory and Isaac

Caitlin and I were destined to meet. During Ben’s first week of work at Microstrategy (five years ago), Caitlin was the girl who on-boarded my confused fresh-outta-college then boyfriend/now husband. He came home from work to announce, “I met a girl who is friends with Spencer Booth!” This may seem like a very weird thing to celebrate but I think it was comforting to have found a familiar friend at a brand new job, let alone his first real job.
