Downtown DC Engagement Photos | Georgetown Engagement Session | National Mall Couple Photos | Betsy and Beau

Abigail and John remind me of a Ralph Lauren catalog couple. So classic and beautiful. They decided to snap some engagement photos in their home to celebrate their new addition to the family- this adorable golden retriever puppy!

I wanted to start offering couple’s boudoir sessions but before I did, I needed to feel what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera. After getting married, I undoubtedly became a better wedding photographer. The same rule applies to boudoir!
