You know it was a good engagement session when you make plans for Happy Hour later after meeting for the very first time. I met these two as a ‘one off’ engagement; every year, I get heaps of people wanting a destination DC engagement and are planning to get married at home in another state […]

I forgot how different one city can be. This engagement session proves you can have any landscape you want in DC! Cherry and Sam knew they wanted two looks for their engagement photos: formal and casual. These two actually met for their first date ever at a coffee shop in Blagden Alley so they just […]

Nation’s Capital Engagement Photos | District of Columbia Elopement Inspiration | Cherry and Sam

I knew I would love photographing Josie and Ben because for weeks beforehand, Josie and I texted back and forth about which ensembles we liked best! Attention to details is my favorite as I have massive style OCD. I also never met a Ben I didn’t absolutely love! These two had been photographed before but […]

Lincoln Memorial Engagement Session | District of Columbia Monuments Engagement Photos | Luxury DC Wedding Photos | Josie and Ben

The majority of the time, I don’t know what my clients look like. A handful of my engagement clients, I only exchange emails with and have no idea what they will wear or even their partner’s name! When these two showed up, I nearly died. How stunning are they!? Not only did they show up […]

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.

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.

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.

Tidal Basin Cherry Blossom Engagement Session | Virginia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben | Bailey and Andrew

  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 […]
