If you’ve ever wondered what winter engagement sessions are like in Washington, D.C., this session is an unfairly high bar. The district has not seen snow like this since 2018! So when my brides reach out wanting a “wintery engagement session,” I’m quick to reset expectations. However, we could not have gotten luckier for Andrew […]

When Andrew reached out asking if I’d help capture the moment he proposed to his love Rachel, I could hardly contain myself. He was so open to ideas on where and how to pop the question. He just wanted it to be beautiful, memorable, and discreet. I was there to help. We chose to hold […]

There’s nothing more all-American than walking brick sidewalks in a historic small town in the autumn. Middleburg, Virginia is straight out of a Hallmark movie. I was so hopeful when Luis and Chesney chose to do a fall Middleburg engagement session. You’ll see in the photos below that this quaint little town truly did not […]

All of my engagement sessions and weddings feel special in their own way. But this Smithsonian Castle engagement session was an extra precious blessing for Kevin and me.

Lauren and Andrew quickly became a couple after my own heart. They were such a dream to work with at their National Gallery of Art engagement session! As soon as I turned the corner inside the Gallery to meet them, I was instantly swooning over these two. Lauren wore a cream-yellow taffeta gown with puffy […]

When pouring rain cuts your engagement session short, I like to offer a 30-minute mini re-shoot to give you a chance at sunny portraits. Even though Mary and Joey’s cherry blossom engagement session was a beautiful success, the rain cut short the second half. So that gave us the opportunity to have the GLOWIEST mini […]

Washington, D.C. is abuzz with tourists flocking to see our famous cherry blossoms. But as a D.C. wedding photographer, I have come to really appreciate the clean glow of a winter engagement session on the National Mall.
