I think proposals are my all time favorite thing to photograph! I get to play secret agent for a day and play tourist- hiding in plain sight. Matt and Lucy flew in for a quick romantic trip to DC. Little did she know, Lucy would leave the city engaged! Congrats to this happy couple on […]

What is more romantic than a surprise proposal? Jae proposed to Julia on a rainy afternoon in the city. We talked about proposing at Meadowlark but with the rain, Jefferson was the best possible rain plan! A quiet afternoon at the national mall made for a super intimate setting in the district. Congrats to the […]

Lily and Ben are two of my all-time favorite clients! When I had to pick models for a mentoring session, they were the first couple I thought of! I actually shot their wedding during the pandemic but we never did an official engagement together so this was the perfect excuse to get together again and […]

It’s evenings like this one that make me believe in love. Jessica and Bryant eloped on the national mall on a Wednesday. With the pandemic in full swing, they decided to make private vows to one another and self-officiate at the DC War Memorial. We took a handful of portraits at Lincoln before walking to […]

I just love when a gal has a signature color. Rachael showed up in this stunner and I knew it had to be a thing. She even has a green engagement ring! She’s basically a real life Elle Woods but subbing out green for pink. These two got super lucky with the cherry blossoms this […]

First comes love then comes marriage…. then comes engagement session?? Welp, if 2020 taught us anything it’s that life can be unpredictable. I actually photographed Erinn and Jon’s intimate Anderson House wedding mid-pandemic last year and we realized they never actually took engagement photos! When they reached back out I was over the moon excited […]

Kyle knew he wanted to propose to Lisa during their trip to Washington DC. He had planned months in advance to catch the cherry blossoms only to be a week early! Not to worry. The magnolias bloom first in the district so we got the pink tree fix even if the cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed! […]

Austin had a very specific vision for this proposal. He knew he wanted to ask Sarah to marry him in front of the lake at Stone Tower. The private pond was an extremely romantic setting and I got to hide in plain sight and have a picnic on the hillside! After he proposed, we took […]
