Washington DC Engagement Photos | Engagement Session Tips and Tricks | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer

Oh Lincoln Memorial sunrise engagement sessions, how I love thee. This light and this location may never get old. Ashley and Will were my first couple ever to do have photos taken at the Lincoln and Jefferson Monuments in one session. I was surprised at how easy the transition was!

Who else is sick of white wedding dresses!? Ok, ok, there is nothing wrong with a classic.. but what about a vow renewal dress? Or maybe you want to depart from the traditional wedding dress and rock something a little more funky to your wedding day.

When I first met Tory, I truly felt as though we were style twins. Everything she described about how she envisioned her wedding day was EXACTLY LIKE MINE. The dress, the blooms, the venue… it’s as if she stepped right out of my head!

DC Monument Engagement | Jefferson Memorial Engagement | Tory and Andrew

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

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

These two are the definition of timeless love. The way Molly and Jake interact with each other just warms your heart. Jake is such a gentleman and I have yet to be around these two without seeing a constant smile on their faces. We first met at Northside Social to discuss a wedding vision. We landed on the words ‘classic romance’ and that is exactly what these two embody!

Georgetown Waterfront Engagement | DC Wedding Photographer | Molly and Jake

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.
