Anna and Rohan wanted a springtime DC engagement session and OH MAN did nature deliver! Our first stop was the Washington National Cathedral before heading to this magnolia paradise. I know everyone loved cherry blossoms but I think the magnolia saucers show better in photos! What do you think??

Less than 24 hours before this couple headed out west on their cross country road trip, Keegan proposed. 💍 A surprise picnic at the National Cathedral awaited them as he got down on one knee under the guise of a farewell tour of the district. She of course said yes and will be wearing her […]

I absolutely loved photographing Gaby and Phil. They both have such contagious laughs and huge stunning smiles. They not only brought their pup along but had Carla Pressley beauty to really help Gaby shine! We had perfect sunset weather for their Georgetown garden engagement session. We even got to wander over to the alcoves! Two […]

I think Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral is my favorite place to take engagement photos in DC. When asked about best gardens in Washington DC, I always tend to suggest this hidden gem. These flowers and landscaping is well worth the photo permit! Here are my favorite images from C&B’s DC engagement session. Spring […]

Danielle and Doug, what a pair! I got the film back from this session and audibly gasped. They are FIRE on camera. Danielle has this electric smile and Doug actually looks a lot like Mark Ruffalo’s cousin. Their fashion was on point. Danielle messaged me their ensembles and I was giddy with their style! She […]

Not only is this engagement a personal favorite because of the location but it’s also a favorite because MY GAL PAL KATIE IS ENGAGED! I met Katie almost 4 years ago when I was running around my apartment complex. She was walking her dog Windsor and I just had to stop and say hello. After a few chance encounters, we found that we had heaps in common: we love dance parties, photography and we’re both in education. As two girls in their twenties tend to do, we started watching the Bachelor together every Monday! Although she moved from the neighborhood, we kept our Monday night tradition and stayed friends through the stressors of building our businesses and figuring out life in DC.

Best DC Wedding Venues | D.C. Wedding Photographer | Couples Education

This wedding was the perfect kind of intimate. If I could shoot brunch weddings all year long I would! Bianca and Brian pledged their lives to one another in front of friends and family in a small service in their chapel next to the National Cathedral. The UCC Church is a big part of their lives as is the lord. Brian has committed his life to serving God and Bianca grounds herself in that faith as well. She is a teacher from my hometown of South Florida but also worked at the very cathedral where we snapped wedding images!
