carrie + jay: engagement photos.

the city is our playground.

have i mentioned lately how much i *love* my neighborhood? or just dc in general? the more i shoot on these streets the more i appreciate all the funky spots for awesome photos there are in this city!

i had a ridiculously good time with carrie + jay last week…and not just because the shoot included a mini-bar crawl through adams’ morgan ;) these two are a riot! i cannot wait for their wedding later this year! carrie is sassy as anything (my FAVE quality in a person) and jay is simply great. i had just as much fun chatting with them as i did snapping their pics and they were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera – loved it! we strolled around adams’ morgan and logan on a beautiful wednesday afternoon and found the best spots for some really fun photos!

guess who’s getting married on november 22?

melinda + tim: engagement photos.

a culinary tour featuring ice cream, fancy cocktails, jello shots and chorizo corndogs.

i had a fantastic time hanging out with melinda + tim! they took me to all their favorite spots: whitlow’s on wilson, where they first met, mario’s for some awesome ice cream, royal lee’s for the infamous jello shots, and eat bar for some killer cocktails and super fancy bar treats. melinda and tim are getting married next month and i’m really looking forward to photographing their wedding – they are such a happy couple (check out their amazing smiles!) and a pleasure to be around. melinda is also a *fabulous* and passionate cook and i’m hoping to convince her to give me a few lessons… :)

enjoy!

amanda + dave: engaged!

for the love of kickball.

amanda + dave met and fell in love while playing kickball with friends + co-workers in baltimore city. dave proposed in april, and they are both so incredibly happy. they were so affectionate and loving throughout the shoot, i simply adored watching them together. it’s easy to see how they fell in love with each other, and after a record 3-hour engagement session, i too am in love with amanda + dave.

they are a truly phenomenal couple. i had an amazing time photographing them as we made our way around baltimore finding great spots…they laughed, they kissed, and they kept putting their heads together and smiling!! i loved it! we played kickball on the hill, got dangerously close to the waters of the harbor, caught some sweet flare at sunset, rode the crazy carousel, and took some absolutely stellar photos – it was a total blast!

kristen + neto: engagement photos.

a very romantic session in montrose park.

due to crazy dc weather conditions, we kept having to postpone kristen + neto’s engagement session…by the time we were able to get together the wedding was only a week away! it’s OK, they are still technically engagement shots, although it felt like a pre-wedding portrait session :)
i took them to montrose park, and loved revisiting this incredible location where i photographed jennifer + jeffrey’s wedding just a few weeks ago! i am so grateful for finally discovering this great spot – it’s like an enchanted forest in the middle of georgetown!
kristen + neto were perfectly relaxed in front of the camera and looked gorgeous together! i loved their interaction and the way they looked at each other, they were very romantic and montrose park was the perfect backdrop for them!

enjoy!

jessica + holly: engaged!

lots of love for the LOVE sign.

jessica + holly are engaged! they are tying the knot later this year and plan on doing a “real” engagement session in dc in a few months at a few of their favorite places, including the sculpture garden! fun! however, they needed a great image for their save-the-dates and i was totally up for a “mini-shoot” at one of my favorite places in baltimore – the american visionary arts museum. its gigantic LOVE sign is an obvious backdrop, but it also has so many other interesting enclaves and we were able to do some fun exploring – so many awesome shots within steps of each other! it’s pretty unbelievable that this wasn’t a full e-session – i adore these images! i had a great time and can’t wait for the next shoot! these two are going to be professional models by the wedding!
