I just love when a gal has a signature color. Rachael showed up in this stunner and I knew it had to be a thing. She even has a green engagement ring! She’s basically a real life Elle Woods but subbing out green for pink. These two got super lucky with the cherry blossoms this […]

Spring DC Engagement Session | Cherry Blossom Season District of Columbia | Rachael and Charles

First comes love then comes marriage…. then comes engagement session?? Welp, if 2020 taught us anything it’s that life can be unpredictable. I actually photographed Erinn and Jon’s intimate Anderson House wedding mid-pandemic last year and we realized they never actually took engagement photos! When they reached back out I was over the moon excited […]

Rose-Helen and Filippo were my first ‘pink tree’ clients of the year! Knowing that the tidal basin might be shut down due to COVID, we decided to go for magnolia photos instead; and oh boy, was it a treat. We began at sunrise at the Enid A Haupt Garden with their adorable puppy Roots (who […]

David wanted to surprise Jamie during their trip to DC to visit their friends. They traveled all the way from New York to visit her pal Ashley on her birthday weekend.

Kyle knew he wanted to propose to Lisa during their trip to Washington DC. He had planned months in advance to catch the cherry blossoms only to be a week early! Not to worry. The magnolias bloom first in the district so we got the pink tree fix even if the cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed! […]

When I think ‘classic’ I think of the DC cherry blossoms. Cecilia and John wanted a DC spring engagement session at the Tidal Basin and I was thrilled we were able to give them their dream! With the closures due to the pandemic, I didn’t know how accessible the mall would be but we had […]

Alyssa and Ethan probably had one of my favorite sessions of the year. We knew we wanted cherry blossoms but also knew the tidal basin might be closed due to the pandemic. As it turns out, we went at sunrise on a weekend and had no problem at all with pedestrian access. In fact, these […]

John and Maria found me through past clients and just knew they wanted DC Monument engagement photos. Since Jefferson is under construction and the Capitol is fenced off due to the insurrection, we landed on Lincoln. What a time to be engaged in DC! We woke up early to catch the sunrise light and were […]

Elizabeth and Connor met in DC so they just knew they wanted a classic DC engagement session. Although they’ll be getting married in Austin, Texas (where this bride to be is originally from), they wanted to celebrate where they built their life together. We got insanely lucky with the weather and this happened to be […]

Austin had a very specific vision for this proposal. He knew he wanted to ask Sarah to marry him in front of the lake at Stone Tower. The private pond was an extremely romantic setting and I got to hide in plain sight and have a picnic on the hillside! After he proposed, we took […]
