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 wedding was the perfect kind of intimate. If I could shoot brunch weddings all year long I would! Bianca and Brian pledged their lives to one another in front of friends and family in a small service in their chapel next to the National Cathedral. The UCC Church is a big part of their lives as is the lord. Brian has committed his life to serving God and Bianca grounds herself in that faith as well. She is a teacher from my hometown of South Florida but also worked at the very cathedral where we snapped wedding images!

I have known Charlotte forever! We swam on the same club team in high school in Boca Raton, Florida. She was always a breath of fresh air and so fun to be around. She is not only stunning and kind but she is also a Marine! Charlotte’s commitment to her country lead her on a journey to meet the love of her life: Joe.

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!

Ah Lincoln. Sunrise. Formal Attire. What more could a photographer want?! Kitty and Andrew met me for the perfect sunrise at one of my favorite spots. After some debate on location and timing, we decided there was no better idea than a classic DC engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial.

This session right here was a DREAM. Alex and Mitch were utter perfection at the monuments this spring sunrise. They decided on engagement photos at the Lincoln memorial because that is where Mitch proposed. Actually, minutes earlier, someone stole his thunder and popped the questions right before he did! What are the odds!? We ended the DC engagement at the Kennedy Center, where the two had their first date.

“I’ll never forget the first time Ryan came to visit. After a weekend of hanging out, we were all sitting on the couch in my apartment when Alison got up to go get something from the kitchen. Without really thinking, Ryan blurted out.. ‘Oh man, I am so freakin in love with your best friend.’

One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is being able to model for friends in the industry! Much to Ben’s chagrin, we get to have multiple fake weddings. When Eddie of Jalapeño Photography reached out looking for a couple to model for a film shoot, we couldn’t wait to jump in front of the camera!

This month, I had the pleasure of capturing Kunal Patel’s surprise proposal! He contacted me a week in advance to ask me to play spy while he proposed to his long time girlfriend Punam. As it turns out, they’re both from my home state of Florida! In fact, Punam is from the same county as me! Capturing surprise proposals is my favorite thing to do as a wedding photographer and I was honored that Kunal reached out to me.
