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

Lauren & Robbie were probably my favorite wedding of the year. Not only because they were the sweetest, most genuine couple to work with but also because they fed into my Halloween obsession. If I could plan a wedding to photograph, this would have been it. I was obsessed with every last detail from their back story down to their décor choices.

Murray Hill Wedding | A New Muse | Lauren & Robbie

This is a super special portrait session to me. I love this couple so much because Steph deserves happiness more than anyone I know. She was an incredible roommate in a crappy apartment when we had crappy teaching jobs. She also is the most giving person I have ever met; she LITERALLY gave a kidney to help a family member last year. Tim is one hell of a guy for making this girl the happiest I’ve ever seen her in our years of friendship.

DC Fall Engagement | Tim & Steph

It is strange how some people come into your life. I met Pam and Tom in a very nontraditional way. Most of my brides find me through word of mouth, mutual acquaintances or Instagram. When a parent of a student I teach mentioned that her friend was getting married, I felt it was bizarre fate that my two businesses would collide.

Kennedy Center Engagement | Pam & Tom

Oh man do I have a soft spot for this couple! Not only do I appreciate a man who plans to have a photographer capture the most important question of his life but I also have a tendency to adore sarcasm. Given those two facts, Raumil was the perfect client. This couple was a dream to photograph and I was able to do so alongside my dear photographer friend Marirosa! Best. Day. Ever.

Georgetown Waterfront Proposal | Raumil & Anita

It was 6:30AM on a Sunday when I met with Jonathan and Erin. The two both admitted to being rather camera shy and felt that the concept of posing for an hour was a bit unnatural; I couldn’t agree more! No one is used to having a stranger capture intimate moments of kissing and nuzzling. After a few warm up poses, these two became naturals! I couldn’t believe how much fun they were having! This completely reaffirmed my beliefs that a couple should do an engagement session before their big day.
