The story of how Paige and Jared met is straight out of a fairytale. Jared lost his wallet in a movie theater. Paige was the lucky movie-goer who found the lost item and called the phone number in the wallet to try to return it to its rightful owner. The number was actually Jared’s mother! After some light conversation, Jared asked Paige on a date and the rest is history!

This year, Lekha reached out to me for engagement photos since we were both Duke alumns! We were toying with different DC-esque locations until we both happened to have an opening during cherry blossom time! We met on a Tuesday sunrise and spent 2 hours beneath the trees. During our session, I learned that Lekha and Aalok met as kids in high school! They have known each other for over 10 years. After dating long-distance, the two decided to tie the knot in their new home of Chicago, Illinois.

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.

Every year, I have couples request photos in the cherry blossoms. And rightfully so! Ben and I even did our engagement photos with cherry blossoms! However.. tourists are swarming, even at sunrise! The Tidal Basin can be nuts. Because everyone wants their spring blooms without hundreds of people swarming, I have compiled a list of alternative photo locations that still allow for maximum blossoms but minimal people.

Last weekend, Ben and I were lucky enough to check out Yayoi Kusama‘s exihibit Infinity Mirrors at the Hirshhorn Museum with a few friends. You need timed passes to check out the show but even with timed passes, we waited an hour outside past our time slot AND each infinity room inside was about a 40 minute wait. Granted, we went on the first opening weekend but you should expect lines if you’re planning to visit!
