M & C originally planned a wedding in the bride’s home country: Turkey! With the pandemic happening, travel seemed out of the question but they didn’t want COVID to hold up their wedding plans. These two met at Georgetown and have actually been dating long distance for 6 years! I wouldn’t want to wait any […]

This pair was a delight to photograph. They drove all the way from Baltimore for this early session before the National Guard closed down the Tidal Basin. Both Ishani and Vikram are health care professionals and the following week, they were slated to be working with at risk populations for COVID-19 so this was the […]

Jill and Jason just knew they wanted cherry blossoms in their engagement photos. These two met in DC so they wanted to celebrate the beginning of their love story by commemorating it with classic District of Columbia inspired photos. It had to be the tidal basin for sure! Sadly, we weren’t able to snap photos […]

Bailey & Andrew are quite the world travelers! They actually got engaged in London and are getting married in New Mexico! What a crazy life these two lead.

  2019, Wow. What a freakin’ ride. When I look back at this year, I kind of have to laugh. Starting this year, my word of the year was “Rest”. I did anything but rest. I came in from 2018 pretty worn down from my biggest year yet so, I raised my prices and vowed […]

A Year in Review 2019 | Destination Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben | Personal Post

I first met Kaitlyn and Steve during my cherry blossom mini sessions. I only had about 15 minutes with these cuties but in that short time, they lit up the camera. Steve is always making Kaitlyn laugh and feel at ease. It was a blast. So when these two reached back out to me to […]

Washington DC Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

Some engagement sessions seem so surreal. I have known Emily for over a decade; I actually met her in 2007 on my recruiting trip to Duke! She ended up being my ‘big sister’ on the swim team and part of Sprint Club so we would train together every day. We have seen each other through […]

Washington DC Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

Erika & Spencer actually met while working at hot dog place! You would never ever suspect their How They Met story to be so quirky when these two are so glamorous. After a few snaps, I suggested that we do a few serious poses to which they replied “oh that’s way more us anyways!” The amount of mood and romance in each shot makes this session one of my personal favorites.

The District of Columbia Cherry Blossoms Engagement Photos | DC Cherry Blossom Engagement Session | Erika and Spencer

Jenifer and Vincent actually live in California together but seem to be world travelers. These two got engaged in Mexico and were in D.C visiting family this March when they decided to snap engagement photos! They missed the Cherry Blossoms by one week but were determined to get some classic District of Columbia engagement pictures when they were in town so we woke up at sunrise and were met with 30 degree temps and crazy wind! Although this couple seems to be beach enthusiasts, they did fabulously in the cold!
