Even though these two are technically based in Charlotte, they are a D.C. couple through and through! Alex and Billy grew their relationship in this city so they wanted to honor their beginning with a classic DC engagement session. They knew they wanted monuments at sunrise and since Jefferson is under construction, we headed to […]

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 […]

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 […]

These two have the right idea when it comes to celebrating love! They had a small elopement this winter with just family, got married in Italy in an intimate wedding and had a big casual reception party with all their friends back home this summer. What a dream! I think there are so few occasions […]

This chic couple heated up the Lincoln memorial this summer with their very classic engagement session. Allyson & Jon’s fierce fashion and killer smiles made this session a personal favorite! We had to reschedule twice for weather but were met with the perfect summer sunrise. We began the session with classic DC marble portraits and […]

Never has there ever been a goofier groom than Rob. I think I laughed the entire 2 hour session with these two. Rob’s sense of humor made this engagement session a breeze because he always made Renee smile from ear to ear! We woke up super early to walk around Jefferson and then headed to Lincoln. Even though Lincoln was under construction, you can hardly tell!

Christina and Shaun messaged me about snapping their engagement photos this summer. The two actually live in Chicago (where they got engaged) but their love story began in DC. They had their first date at Cylde’s in the district and their love story grew, eventually leading them to their life together in Illinois. Shaun proposed the day before her birthday over dinner before meeting a bunch of their close friends to celebrate.

Is it October yet?! Aidan and Greg are my first clients to book me less than 4 months before wedding day! It’s actually very fitting with their personalities. These two value love and none of the pomp and circumstance that surrounds wedding day. They are having a small ceremony at the Josephine Butler Center which they want to feel more like a casual party & cocktail hour with friends. This may be the first time I will not be documenting getting ready or detail shots on wedding day!
