Allison and Ben - Georgetown, Washington DC Engagement Photographer

I had a great time with Allison and Ben as we roamed the areas around water in Georgetown looking for scenic spots with beautiful light. And in the process, I think we got some gorgeous and playful images of the two of them.
Engagement shoots are an enjoyable opportunity to get to know couples better and afterwords I'm always even more excited to be shooting their wedding. I know Allison and Ben's River Farm wedding is going to be amazing!

Bethesda MD Wedding Photographer - Congratulations Lauren and John!

Lauren and John were married last Saturday with 18 of their closest friends by their sides. With nearly 100 family members in attendance as well, it was quite the celebration. This sweet couple sure is loved!
It was a perfect day, as the happy smiles on Lauren and John's faces attest. I loved that we had time for a side trip down to the National Cathedral for beautiful portraits in between the ceremony and reception. Lauren's Peony bouquet smelled amazing and all the other flowers and pink touches made the reception look lavish and lovely.

I was back at National Park Seminary in Silver Spring, MD on another beautiful day with Ruby and Waynne for their engagement shoot. We had fun exploring and capturing some great shots of the two of them. They are also getting married in September and I know their wedding is going to be fabulous!

Tara and Brian - Engagement Photography

I had a great time exploring National Park Seminary with Tara and Brian on Saturday. We even found a bridge, one of Tara's favorite things. While their love is evident in the way they smile at each other, their deep connection can be seen even in a more serious look, don't you think? I do believe this first image is my favorite. I look forward to celebrating with them at their wedding in September!
