I have ALWAYS wanted to shoot at Federal Triangle!! I am so so happy that Ritzy and Koji jumped on board with my vision! We both have the same taste in cityscapes and love all things french. We began our morning at Lincoln and ended in the middle of DC for from European inspired backdrops. Cafe inspired engagement photos? Yes please!

I will never stop thanking Pinterest for connecting me with Shannon and Ben. Shannon wanted some quintessential DC engagement photos and my goodness we got them! It was a little foggy at sunrise at the Jefferson Memorial but that didn’t stop us from getting amazing images! Shannon is also my favorite because she read all of my blog posts! She wore a maxi dress AND brought her sister as a dog handler. Hello perfect client.

Amanda and Heikki knew exactly where they wanted engagement photos: right at the spot where he proposed. Heikki got down on one knee right at the Lincoln memorial and asked Amanda to spend forever with him. It only seemed right to have a snowy session on the mall!

When Rebecca showed up wearing this Lulus sequin gold dress I nearly had a heart attack. How stunning does she look!? Rebecca and Christian were in town on a little vacation up from South Carolina. She is a wedding photographer herself, and as such, this couple treats themselves to anniversary photos once a year! I was honored to be able to capture this session for them!

Oh Lincoln Memorial sunrise engagement sessions, how I love thee. This light and this location may never get old. Ashley and Will were my first couple ever to do have photos taken at the Lincoln and Jefferson Monuments in one session. I was surprised at how easy the transition was!

I just adore couples that talk about pizza and their animals. Molly and Dan were a blast to hang out with at their engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial. They had just gotten a new puppy named Jake so naturally, labs were a big topic of conversation. The weather was stunning so, naturally, we had to get creative with the tourists around at sunset but these two were troopers waiting for the right moment to snap these images!

THIS SESSION RIGHT HERE. Wow. Bri and Nic heated up the monuments on this overcast sunrise engagement session. The second Bri arrived in that dress, my jaw dropped. Doesn’t she look stunning!? Maxi dresses at engagement sessions are my fave.

Ah Lincoln. Sunrise. Formal Attire. What more could a photographer want?! Kitty and Andrew met me for the perfect sunrise at one of my favorite spots. After some debate on location and timing, we decided there was no better idea than a classic DC engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial.

This session right here was a DREAM. Alex and Mitch were utter perfection at the monuments this spring sunrise. They decided on engagement photos at the Lincoln memorial because that is where Mitch proposed. Actually, minutes earlier, someone stole his thunder and popped the questions right before he did! What are the odds!? We ended the DC engagement at the Kennedy Center, where the two had their first date.

The story of how Paige and Jared met is straight out of a fairytale. Jared lost his wallet in a movie theater. Paige was the lucky movie-goer who found the lost item and called the phone number in the wallet to try to return it to its rightful owner. The number was actually Jared’s mother! After some light conversation, Jared asked Paige on a date and the rest is history!
