I first met Kaitlyn and Steve during my cherry blossom mini sessions. I only had about 15 minutes with these cuties but in that short time, they lit up the camera. Steve is always making Kaitlyn laugh and feel at ease. It was a blast. So when these two reached back out to me to […]

I love nothing more than a gal with a big laugh. Every time Josh made a joke or I accidentally told them a weird pose/direction, Katie had this radiant laugh that lights up the frame. These two were a bit nervous at the start of this session but a few minutes in they relaxed and […]

Lincoln Memorial Engagement Session | Washington DC Wedding Photography | Emily + Andrew

Some engagement sessions seem so surreal. I have known Emily for over a decade; I actually met her in 2007 on my recruiting trip to Duke! She ended up being my ‘big sister’ on the swim team and part of Sprint Club so we would train together every day. We have seen each other through […]

The second Becca and Malcolm got engaged, I just knew I had to capture their wedding! These two were actually in Zach and Lauren’s Richmond wedding that I captured this spring and they were just the cutest pair tearing up the dance floor and having a blast. Malcolm has this energy about him that makes […]

These two have the right idea when it comes to celebrating love! They had a small elopement this winter with just family, got married in Italy in an intimate wedding and had a big casual reception party with all their friends back home this summer. What a dream! I think there are so few occasions […]

The second Kailey inquired, I knew she was the bride for me. This gal is a vlogger, chic fashionista and has the same taste in movies (SO many Notebook references made on wedding day). She and Ryan were high school sweethearts and Ryan knew from their very first phone conversations that Kailey was the one. […]
