Izzy and Brian had one of my favorite sessions of 2023….. hard to beat when a couple brings their ADORABLE DOG!! We wandered around Meridian Hill Park before heading over to Union Station for more classic DC architecture engagement inspiration. Counting the minutes until their wedding next year! Until then, here are my favorite snaps […]

I knew Sophie and Jack would have a fire session! Anytime a couple tells me thy love film, I know they have an eye for art and probably style. This was absolutely true of these two! They chose Meridian Hill park on one of the last beautiful fall days. We arrived early in the morning […]

I almost felt selfish snapping this engagement session because Kelsey and Graham only have so much precious time they get to spend together since they are long distance! I felt touched they carved out 2 hours (and a drive from PA) just to take engagement photos with me! This couple is not only dealing with […]

Irene and Matt had big plans to have a grand wedding in Pennsylvania this year but, like everyone wedding planning in 2020, COVID had other plans. These two pushed back their bigger celebration but still wanted to make things official. After hatting with these two, they knew they wanted their friends and family to be […]

This session could not have come at a more perfect time. Kacey is an essential healthcare worker but she happened to be on vacation during this stretch of time! Before heading back to the front lines, we decided to capture these images to celebrate their engagement and focus on the positive. Kacey always envisioned her […]

When I look at these photos, I can’t believe they almost didn’t happen! Sarah and Connor decided to elope in DC this fall and thus didn’t know if they ‘needed’ engagement photos. I am so glad they decided to take these snaps in Meridian Hill Park! How many times in your life do you get […]

Washington DC Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

This was my favorite thing I have photographed… possibly ever. Sarah and Chris emailed me a week before their elopement asking if I was available for 2 hours on Sunday. With only a few emails, I was given an address and time to arrive to capture their ceremony. I arrived at Sarah’s apartment to meet them both. Sarah had cooked brunch for their entire wedding (which was 16 people including myself). She got ready in their DC apartment while I photographed a small amount of detail images. Sarah wore the dress that both her mother and grandmother had worn on their wedding day! Her mom had reconstructed it and sewed all three of their names in the lining.

Aidan and Greg had the sweetest wedding this fall. They decided to make it feel super comfortable and causal for all their loved ones involved! These two hosted 54 people in the Josephine Butler Parks Center to watch them exchange hand written vows in the small ballroom during sunset. Aidan and Greg decided on a first look in Meridian Hill Park so they could greet their guests to he ceremony as they arrived!

I first met Laura & Jeff last winter. They lived in my exact neighborhood about 5 condos down! When we both discovered we liked the Bachelor, we became fast friends. Laura and I had been dating our college sweethearts for about 5 years and got engaged around the same time! It was only fate that I would snap some engagement portraits for them!
