Would you believe me if I told you that there were HEAPS of people at Lincoln on this morning engagement? We arrived promptly at sunrise to get some privacy and golden hour light… in fact, we actually had to postpone a day because of rain and this was my only weekend on the mall since […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Engagement sessions look very different these days but these photos are reason number 756388 why my clients are my favorite.

Lincoln Memorial Engagement Session | Rock Creek Park Engagement Photos | Aly and Shlomo

  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

This couple and I were made for each other. When planning their engagement session, Remi wanted to do something in Maryland but didn’t know what, so she asked me if there was anything I was really excited to shoot. I thought about if Ben and I were to get engaged again, what would we want […]
