Rea + Franklin’s DC Engagement Session

April 24, 2011 – 5:03 pm

Rea and Franklin’s wanted to incorporate their love for DC and Starbucks coffee into their engagement pictures. So we started at Union Station, progressed to the Capital, and then off to Chinatown to grab some night shoots. Chris and I took full advantage of the beautiful trees in bloom and the great temps.

When I met Rea we had a pretty long meeting and ended up talking for a very long time. I won’t lie but just like that meeting this session seemed to happen so fast. Rea is lovely to hang out with and I think she’s always smiling. I was so excited to finally meet Franklin as Rea had shared so much about him and even the way he proposed shows how great of a guy he really is. We’re sad to have to wait till their wedding in 2012 to see them again. Below are some highlights.

Clover + Marty : DC engagement

March 3, 2011 – 7:41 pm

I really lucked out when we scheduled this session for February as it was the most pleasant February nights in DC. We started out where they meet and went on dates. Ending the evening letting me play with car lights and being the human tripod! I call that perfect. Below are some of my favorites and I can’t wait to hang out with them again in a few weeks!

Melissa + Brian : Occoquan Engagement

October 14, 2010 – 7:16 pm

I can’t wait for Melissa and Brian’s wedding next year. We had a great time hanging out plus we got to hang with their pup Apache. I won’t lie I’d steal him so he could play with my boxer but he’s pretty fond of these two. We all explored around Occoquan with a stop into Quinns where Brian got Melissa’s stunning ring. Below are a few from their session:

Lauren + Tom : Engagement at Linden Vineyards

August 15, 2010 – 3:26 pm

I had an amazing night with Lauren and Tom; at the last minute we decided to just meet up and enjoy the first non humid night in the DC area in sometime. It was magical and the light was golden. Loved it and best of all my favorite VA wine vineyard let us use their grounds for their session! So the stars were aligned for this session. Below are the highlights and I so thank Jim and the staff at Linden Vineyards.

Amanda + Jason engagement session at Hollin Hall

June 29, 2010 – 6:12 am

I had the pleasure of shooting Amanda and Jason’s engagement session at Hollin Hall last week. Any of us that live in DC know that summer sessions can be a challenge once the humidity hits. This night was one of those hot, humid summer nights but these two never complained. They also brought along their beyond cute dog Maury to the session. I can’t wait for their wedding next year!
