oh, brooke + dave!

i love love loved everything about this session (and it wasn’t *just* because they gave me a bag of candy!) – it was because this couple is so cute and so fun! i can’t imagine a better way to spend a rainy fall afternoon than running around town with brooke + dave…they are so happy together and a little rain didn’t bother them at all! besides, dave proposed in the pouring rain in costa rica, so it was kind of fitting for them…plus, i carry an arsenal of hugemongous umbrellas so i had us covered ;)

georgetown was abuzz preparing for halloween festivities, and it was such an awesome feeling to be doing our own sweet thing in the middle of the chaos – yay for engagement photos on halloween!

enjoy!

stephanie + steven: engaged!

virginia is for lovers.

BLONDEPHOTO_090829_006_9491

ok, i’ll admit it – i’m starting to fall in love with old town. as a dc girl (and born + raised in maryland) i’ve always been slightly leery of my southern neighbor state and long considered everything worthwhile to lay within the district lines. virginia seemed far and foreign, but not in a good way. however, as i am discovering (thanks to amazingly fun couples like stephanie + steven as well as dailycandy) northern virginia is great. it’s cute, it’s quaint, and some of the nooks + crannies of old town have a really good vibe. plus, i dig their slogan and whole-heartedly agree – virginia is for lovers! – and old town is ridiculously sweet for shooting.

back to stephanie + steven…i received a call from steven (ps *love* when the boys get involved and take charge of photography!) and learned that both he + stephanie are journalists who are also passionate about photography (steven having written + shot for natgeo in cairo) and itching for an engagement session. i was able to squeeze them in during my edit marathon weekend last saturday and met up with them at their cute apartment in arlington. after exploring old town (and hitting up the above ICE building that stephanie has had her *great* eye on!) we stopped by the waterfront and then headed back to their apartment. talent runs deep with these two, and steven broke out his guitar and played and sang for stephanie on their couch and i loved being able to capture that as well!

loving this couple and these photos so much! they are headed to louisville next year to tie the knot in stephanie’s home state of kentucky – woohoo!

ENJOY!

laurie + ben: engaged!

sunshine of your love.

BLONDEPHOTO-LB-034-9865

laurie + ben are getting married!

last week i had the joy of following these crazy fun lovebirds all over their neighborhood – i never knew bethesda was so cute! and so green! in addition to the colorful streets (and alleyways) we found some sweet greenery – nothing like a little nature in the city  to make this photog happy! we also walked by the church where they are getting married (next month!) – it has the most striking blue doors – love!

with laurie + ben everything is fun and exciting – their energy is so great, i just love them! laurie is exuberant and ben is very chill, and their amazing smiles show just how perfect they are together. i fell in love with them before we even met – i could feel laurie’s energy from her emails – plus how could i not love a spunky kindergarten teacher who is marrying the love of her life? did i mention he happens to be a doctor at children’s hospital? they are the best!

 so wet met for coffee, hit it off fabulously and the rest is history. laurie claims that the best day of her life was booking me as their photographer, second only to the day ben asked her to marry him! seriously, could i be any luckier with these two? amazing! i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again – i have the. best. clients. ever.

enjoy!
