Ivy & Rein | Sneak Peek

Let's be honest people. I know its the United States Capitol; but I'm ready to claim it as the Capitol of love. Particularly during Cherry Blossom festival. How couldn't I? The trees erupt into a canopy of pinks, fuchsias and every shade between, the temperatures warm up and well - the birds and the bees make their yearly reappearances. 

 Cherry blossom is the perfect time for engagement sessions and I couldn't wait to share a sneak peek of today's loveliness with Ivy and Rein. They trekked all the way in from the Chicago suburbs to get the Cherry Blossom experience. Coincidentally, with their arrival came the height of the blooms, a gentle spring breeze, and well a day full of love and laughter. 

So, maybe the Capitol of love just happens to be wherever you make it?

Many more photos to come, but here's a few to enjoy for now!

Jenny & Kyle Wedding - Sneak Peek

After a tumultuous week, I am beyond excited to share a few photos from Jenny and Kyle's wedding last weekend.  I can say I thoroughly had a wonderful time photographing their day and I am so excited to get to work on editing all of their photos.  The day itself couldn't have been a better backdrop for their wedding - perfectly blue skies, sixty-five degree weather, abundant sunshine, and friends & family overflowing with love for Jenny and Kyle. 

I can already tell there are going to be so many beautiful photos to share from this day, but I just couldn't keep you waiting any longer!  

{Merry Christmas to all and to all, a good night!}

Larin & Patrick Engagement Session

A perfect D.C. Sunday afternoon, a lovely couple newly engaged, deeply in love...could I ask for anything more?  I had a grand time photographing these two. We visited Montrose Park to find a sweet spot Larin and Patrick found the weekend before - beautifully aged stone steps leading up to a wrought iron gate - fabulous find! Next we spent time in the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks.  If you ever find yourself in the District looking for a beautiful way to spend an afternoon, I strongly suggest visiting this locale. Between the terraces, lawns and the appropriately named Lovers' Lane Pool we had no problem finding those perfectly romantic spots to settle in and capture some great photographs.  Finally we headed down to the Potomac as the sun set between the willow trees.

Larin and Patrick -I wish you all the best as you plan your wedding a prepare for marriage together! Your love for each other makes my heart swell and it brings me joy that I got to capture these photos for you.  I can't wait until your wedding day - although, I must not forget the Kleenex...I know I'm going to need it!
