Washington DC Wedding Photographer | Merry Christmas From the Tubens

I had the most wonderful morning in the city with Melissa and Calvin. After tons of location chatting, we decided to take a few snaps at the Capitol & Union Station! These two have lived all over so I loved that they chose locations that represented their new home together in DC!

Best DC Wedding Venues | D.C. Wedding Photographer | Couples Education

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!

National Cathedral Wedding | Intimate DC Wedding | Bianca and Brian

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.

Library of Congress Engagement | The Quill and Old Ebbitt Grill Romance | Courtney and Eddie

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.

Wedding Day Details | What to Bring to Wedding Day | Couples’ Education

This was by far the best photography day I have had. A few weeks back, Mathew contacted me to capture the most romantic moment of his life. He planned to propose to Mana on the Supreme Court Steps- where they met. I was already giddy from his romantic idea that I cleared my schedule so I could capture this moment of sheer bliss.
