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.

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.

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!

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!

City center is now officially my new favorite place to shoot in spring! I adore it when my couples suggest portrait locations! When Sasha emailed me suggesting a crosswalk & City Center, I was all about it! I love shooting in places I’ve never been; it allows me to be even more creative and lets me explore my own city.

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.
