Thanks to COVID, Remi and John are actually my first booked wedding of 2022. These two planned their USNA wedding but opted to get married just feet away from their OG wedding venue. Since John is active military and has deployment in his future, these two knew love couldn’t wait. They decided to have an […]

What is better than a day on a sailboat…. how about a proposal on a sailboat!? George reached out to me to surprise his girlfriend Kate with the ultimate question. Since I couldn’t exactly hide on the boat, I pretended to be an employee of the boat owners to create social media content. During our […]

Surprise Boat Proposal | Annapolis Sailboat Proposal | Kate and George

What an epic session. When Nicole and Chris told me they wanted to go sailing I could not jump on that boat soon enough. We actually had to reschedule due to terrible weather but finally were met with the perfect fall day. We started our afternoon at Quiet Waters Park before heading to the Annapolis […]

Sailboat Engagement Session | Annapolis Boat Engagement Photos | Nicole and Chris

This is probably one of my favorite sessions of the year so sorry for the oversharing! Daniel is actually technically my nephew (although he is our age). He and Jill got engaged this past year and started planning their chic DC wedding. Like all 2020 couples, COVID reared its ugly head and threw their plans […]

Adventurous DC Engagement Session | Chic In Home Engagement Photos | Boating Engagement Jill and Dan

I was NOT going to do a behind the scenes  blog post this year, In fact, I HATE the way I look when I am working. This is not a glamorous job people. I sweat. My hair is a hot mess. My makeup runs. I have to wear these really unattractive shoes so my plantar […]

2019 Behind the Scenes | Washington DC Wedding Photographer | Personal Post

  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 […]

What could be a better addition to an engagement shoot than a new puppy!? Vince got Nicole this darling pupper as a gift; he gave Nicole the collar first and she was utterly confused until she saw Zeppelin! These two actually live in Chicago but traveled back home to Maryland for a friend’s wedding. While […]

Best Maryland Engagement Photos Kir Tuben

I swear it, Alex and Alyse have the BEST LUCK with photos! We walked to their favorite little pier in Baltimore only to find a historic boat show passing through! The rain held out for us as we heard cannons firing off in the distance! We ended our session at their favorite Ice Cream store, Baltimore Licks, where we got perfect parking and a lot of treats!

Baltimore Engagement Session | Maryland Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben | Alex and Alyse

It’s weird to say that I don’t know if I have ever photographed two people so in love. Every single photograph of these two during candid moments was of them smiling and giggling to each other. When you spend even five minutes around Melissa and Calvin, you just know that they relax one another. They both feel like a deep breath of air to their counterparts.
