zeba + ted: engaged!

a capitol love.

zeba + ted are getting married! i had such a fun afternoon with these two as we ran around the city taking photos and having a great time. ted is a capitol hill police officer, so we started our session at the capitol building where we explored the gorgeous interior of the building with no one else around! it’s been a long time since i’ve shot on the hill and it was really neat to get a private tour of the capitol and hear all the history and stories from ted – i learned so much! afterwards, we headed over to logan circle and explored the neighborhood where we sought out some great urban shots with my favorite graffiti in the city.

i loved spending time with zeba + ted and i can’t wait until their wedding in november! the fabulous alex pare of cherry blossom events is coordinating everything and it’s going to be fabulous! i’m so happy alex introduced us – this is one great couple!

now, enjoy!

amanda + cliff: engaged!

love at first sight.

amanda + cliff met less than a year ago and fell instantly in love…shortly after they started dating cliff proposed and they are thrilled to be planning their wedding for next year! i love couples that just “know” and are so excited to spend their lives together – i think it’s absolutely wonderful. i had a great time meeting up with these two lovebirds in georgetown where we wandered around the neighborhoods, visited montrose park and even made a stop at starbucks…

amanda + cliff: thank you for spending a sunday with me and letting me document your love – i wish you all the best!

enjoy!

hayley + derric: engagement.

a texan love affair.

i *love* hayley + derric! i had such a great time meeting up with them for a saturday afternoon session on the mall. they met in texas, but followed their careers (and their hearts) to dc – and just a few weeks ago derric proposed! they are planning a fabulous wedding back in texas, but really wanted their engagement photos to reflect their lives here in dc…we walked around the mall on and explored the sculpture garden, botanical garden, and eventually the lawn of the capitol. they are a stunning couple (dark hair + bright blue eyes = my favorite combination) and they were really fun – smiling and laughing the whole time…another FABULOUS engagement session! thanks guys!

enjoy!

eric + laura: engagement photos.

hiking along the falls.

eric + laura took me to great falls for their engagement session last week…they love hiking the trails and spending time at the falls and it was a nice change from shooting in the city! this was my first time out to the falls in a very long time, and i forgot how far removed it feels, even though its just 20 mintues away! it was a very warm evening, and we hiked at least a mile or more over the rocky terrain to get sweeping views of the falls below. thanks to eric + laura for a great field trip and i can’t wait for their wedding at the end of august! its hard to believe that i’m not shooting another wedding until theirs – when i’ve had at least one wedding every weekend for the last few months! as you can see this is the 3rd blog post today – i’m working hard to get caught up…enjoy!

margie + jeff: engagement photos.

an afternoon engagement in the park.

i had a delightful evening with margie + jeff at montrose park in georgetown a few weeks ago…early evening light gives the park a very dark and romantic feel, and the photos are simply gorgeous. margie + jeff are going to have a fantastically fun wedding at the end of august and i can’t wait! i’m on vacation as of next week and theirs is one of the first weddings i have after my long (much needed!) hiatus from this very busy wedding season! enjoy!

margie + jeff also had a little fun with my cameras ;)

*also* a big thanks to jessi ringer – a fabulous chick and spankin’ new photog from knoxville who spent the weekend shooting with me…she was an absolute pleasure to have with me and she took some great photos! check out her pics from this session here! thanks jessi!

sara + jack: engaged!

i heart sun flare.

what do penguins, barack obama, and budweiser have in common? they all make sara very happy! i had the best time ever with sara + jack in annapolis last week for our (last minute) engagement session. we’ve all been super busy since we met to book their wedding earlier this year, but we definitely wanted to squeeze in e-pics before their wedding – which is this friday – WOO HOO! it’s going to be such a blast…sara and i share a very similar sense of humor and world vision, so we were instant friends. our session lasted almost 4 hours because we kept chatting and laughing…yay! sara + jack are a *great* match, and i loved that i got to know them so much better last week – they even came out on saturday to honfest and sara wore one of my t-shirts! love her!!

enjoy!
