Jessica & Andrew’s DC Cherry Blossom Engagement Photos - Washington DC Cherry Blossoms

It’s 2020, a brand new year! Even though we are in the throes of winter right now, I can’t help but get excited about the next season (which happens to be my favorite): Spring! And, as I’m sure you can imagine, because I’m a dc wedding and portrait photographer, my mind goes straight to the  Cherry Blossom Festival DC. I used to love visiting this festival and the blossoms before I was a professional photographer, but I love it so much more now. Photographing couples among those puffy pink blossoms is so magical.

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite sessions from the cherry blossoms in 2019: Jessica and Andrew. Believe it or not, it was actually pretty chilly the morning I photographed them, even though the sunrise at the Tidal Basin looked nice and warm. But they were total superstars and looked so sweet and in love, regardless of the cold temperatures.

What I really love about photographing at the cherry blossoms is the ability to get so many different looks out of my couples within a small amount of space. As I’m sure you can tell in the first silhouette photo, there are a lot of people around, whether they be tourists, photographers, runners or cyclists. So it’s always a fun challenge to see what I can create among this slight chaos. I actually talk about that a little bit in an article “5 Ways Photographers Get the Perfect Cherry Blossom Engagement Photo” the Washingtonian interviewed me for last year.

It’s hard to pick a favorite photo from the bunch, but I do have a few. I actually love the photos I took near a beautiful old cherry blossom tree that has a hole shaped like a heart in it. I knew if I found that tree one day I would want to use it in a photo, so it was a real treat to track it down and shine a light on it. However, I really love the last two photos from the session because those photos were totally unique. Can you guess what it is you’re seeing? It’s Jessica and Andrew’s reflection in a puddle! It’s such a different perspective of the gorgeous blossoms and I really like that it’s a little perplexing at first glance. Plus, they’re just so adorable laughing and having a good time that it’s hard not to love it. And them!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out one of my favorite cherry blossom tidal basin portrait sessions!

Love,

Lisa

When Do the Cherry Blossoms Peak in DC?

If you’re a big fan of the DC cherry blossoms and want to attend/photograph the Cherry Blossom Festival DC 2020, make sure you keep a close eye on those projected peak bloom dates. Last year they peaked on April 1st, and all of my portrait sessions happened between April 2nd and April 6th (at least with the yoshino cherry trees. Kwanzan cherry trees bloom roughly two weeks later). For up-to-date information, I always keep an eye on two websites: the National Parks Service and another called Cherry Blossom Watch 2020. Hope that helps and fingers crossed those yoshino cherry blossoms look magical again this year!

Arielle & Hugh's Garden Inspired Decatur House Wedding

It feels like just yesterday I was meeting Arielle and Hugh at a coffee shop in DC to get to know all about them and their pups, Champ and Charlie. You may remember them from their spontaneous snowy engagement session on DC’s National Mall around the time cherry blossoms were supposed to bloom (but, spoiler alert, we got a snowstorm instead!). Most recently they were married at the Decatur House in Washington, DC on a truly magical, early autumn day. Words cannot accurately describe how perfect their wedding day was from start to finish. CG & Co Events did a fantastic job of bringing their garden inspired wedding to life, and their wedding was so incredible, it was recently featured in Washingtonian Weddings. Many thanks to this amazing couple, Arielle and Hugh, for having me along to photograph their wedding day. It was truly an honor!

Jessica & Tom's Autumn Inspired Larriland Farm Engagement Session

Jessica and Tom's autumn inspired engagement session took place at Larriland Farm. While there, they picked beets, walked in wildflowers, and also picked their own apples in the orchard. The weather was cool and crisp, the perfect fall inspired day!

Natalie and Eddie's Holiday Baseball-Inspired Wedding at The Willard in Washington, DC

I’m so excited to share Natalie and Eddie’s baseball-inspired wedding at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel with you today! You may remember Natalie and Eddie from their two engagement sessions, one at The Kennedy Center and one at the Washington National’s Park. So, I’m sure you understand that they are no strangers to baseball by now (hint: they met while working for the Washington Nationals)!

This wedding was such a joy for me. Natalie and Eddie are really the cutest, goofiest, loveliest couple and I was thrilled to capture their wedding day. I also love weddings during the holiday season, so I was very amped up for the baseball decor mixed with some holiday decor as well! Emily of Karson Butler Events did a fantastic job of merging the two looks into a seamless, gorgeous design that we all loved!

I have too many photos I love to pick favorites, so just enjoy the entire bunch below! And if you want an even more detailed write-up of this fabulous couple, Washingtonian Weddings printed their wedding in the latest issue and also blogged about it. Hooray!

Courtney and Patrick's DC Cherry Blossom Engagement Session

It feels like just yesterday that I was taking cherry blossom photos of Courtney and Patrick down at the Tidal Basin! Courtney, Patrick, their dog, Lucy, and dog watcher, Denise (Pat's mom), all met me at the MLK Memorial in the spring for some gorgeous engagement portraits. It was the perfect spring evening despite the crowds and a little bit of wind! We were able to get tons of different looks with the blossoms, but my absolute favorite photos were the silhouettes I took with Courtney and Patrick in front of the Washington Monument. I was able to get candids with other tourists, but we also did some with Denise walking Lucy in a couple of the frames, which was a nice personal touch! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

Thanks for looking!

Arielle & Hugh's Snowy DC Engagement Photos

If you know me well, you know I love extreme weather. Whether it's a good thunderstorm or several inches of snow, I am always excited about it...and even more excited to photograph in it! So when I received a call from Hugh and Arielle on one of our snowiest days this spring asking if I'd be interested in photographing them in the snow, you bet I was thrilled! I packed up my things and left quickly to meet them at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC.

Arielle and Hugh were already slated to have a cherry blossom engagement session with me, so I was pretty pleased when they spontaneously switched it to a snowy engagement session. I knew they were going to bring their two dogs, Champ and Charlie, regardless of what we did, and I have to say...those dogs loved the snow! I think I can speak for all of us that the snow was really magical that day. We were all in such high spirits and I was able to capture very fun, playful and joy-filled photos. I really can't get enough of this adorable couple and their dogs!

I hope you enjoy the photos below! And many thanks to Arielle, Hugh, Champ, Charlie and dog-wrangler extraordinaire, Niki, for such a fun time. P.S. Love the photo of Niki hitting Arielle and Hugh with a surprise snowball! Ha!

Thanks for looking!

Patti & Ian's Engagement Session at Old House Vineyards

Patti and Ian are two of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. When they asked me to do an engagement session for them at their wedding venue, Old House Vineyards, I leaped at the opportunity for a practice run! The three of us shared a little wine before our photo session officially started, which of course was the best idea ever. We had so much fun together and you can really see the connection between Patti and Ian in these photos. Each photo makes me smile so much! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Thanks for looking!

Nicole's Cherry Blossom Washington, DC Bridal Portraits

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for spring! So today I'm sharing Nicole's cherry blossom bridal portraits from this past spring to get everyone ready for warm weather and flowering blooms!

Nicole and I both are a little obsessed with cherry blossoms. If you were around this past spring, you may recall that the Yoshino cherry trees in Washington, DC's Tidal Basin were a little lackluster! However, both Nicole and I know that right after the Yoshino trees bloom come the Kwanzan cherry blossoms (think a little more pink and extra puffy)! So, we knew we had to at least check out the Kwanzan cherry trees on Hains Point in East Potomac Park. 

We were thrilled to discover that the Kwanzan blossoms looked amazing! So Nicole turned on her inner model in her Berta bridal gown and Jimmy Choo shoes and we got some stunning photos of her. Yay! I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Allie & Connor's Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session

I'm super excited to share Allie and Connor's Old Town engagement portraits today! Allie and Connor were so much fun to work with. I really loved their outfits as they had so much color. But most of all, I really loved how Allie and Connor laughed through their whole engagement session. They really had a great time with each other and it showed!

Allie and Connor, I simply love these photos and I can't wait until your wedding later this year! Enjoy!

Emily & Andy's Fairmont Hotel Washington DC Wedding

I'm so excited to share Emily and Andy's wedding with you today! Emily and Andy were married at Epiphany Catholic Church and the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC. Their wedding was right around July 4th, but lucky for us, the weather was more like a gorgeous spring day!

As you can see from the photos, everyone was giddy with excitement the entire day. My favorite photos are of Emily and Andy when they're laughing! The best is when they're laughing with their family and friends on the dance floor. You can just feel the love!

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! Many thanks to Emily, Andy and their family and friends for including me in this special day!

Ashley and Tom's New Years Eve Wedding at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC

I'm finally blogging one of my most epic weddings of all time! Ashley and Tom were married on New Years Eve last year at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. It was a seriously beautiful wedding for two seriously beautiful people. Ashley and Tom are two of the nicest individuals you will ever meet, so I was honored they picked me among an incredible group of vendors to join in their special day!

It's really hard to describe how jaw-droppingly gorgeous this wedding was. The Perfect Palette, who featured their wedding thanks to our florist, Holly Heider Chapple Flowers, does a much better job of it! All I can say is you couldn't help be wowed by everything. They had custom bars, a cigar lounge, a chandelier wedding cake, a wall of escort party horns, a server wearing a metal skirt carrying champagne glasses and even...to my delight...an actual ball drop! It was truly a spectacular event and I am lucky to have been a part of it.

Many thanks to the seriously incredible team of vendors on this one, but especially to Kelley Cannon Events for pulling off such an amazing event! Cheers to a brand new year!

Nicole and Dave's Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of photographing Nicole and Dave's engagement photos in Old Town Alexandria! Nicole and Dave were so much fun. They were cute, playful and genuinely had a great time with each other. We wandered around the streets and photographed with lots of interesting pieces of Old Town, but the most interesting person we found was Sean Spicer peeking out of a window. It was hysterical!

I hope you enjoy these photographs from our session! Nicole and Dave, I love these and can't wait for your wedding this spring! Hooray!

Karleigh and Jack's Middleburg, Virginia Engagement Session!

I recently got to drive out to Middleburg, Virginia, one of my favorite places ever, to photograph two of the most amazing people ever, Karleigh and Jack!  I met Karleigh and Jack at the end of 2011, and I knew straight away that I loved them.  They're so easy going and Karleigh has an infectious smile and laugh that you can't help but love to be around!  So obviously I was crazy excited to hang out with the two of them for their engagement photos! Jack's family lives on a beautiful piece of land out in Middleburg, so Karleigh and Jack thought it was the perfect spot for photos.  I couldn't agree more, as everything was gorgeously green and scenic!  It was truly difficult for these two to look bad in any photo, as I'm sure you'll notice.  My favorite photos of them are when they're interacting and both laughing hysterically.  Those were the photos where Karleigh was showing her ring off to Jack, and then again when the two of them were splashing water around in the pool.  Cute cute cute!

Karleigh and Jack, I had such a blast hanging out with you two and I cannot wait for your wedding in October!  I'm so excited!  Enjoy!  :)

Shari and Evan's DC Nighttime Engagement Session!

This past weekend I was able to photograph Shari and Evan in downtown DC, and boy did we have a great time!  When I initially met with Shari and Evan, Evan told me straight away that they wanted to do an engagement session and it had to be at nighttime.  To me, this was a dream come true, as most couples don't specifically request photos at night!  I was completely up for the challenge, so we decided to start things off in Dupont Circle for our shoot! Dupont Circle is special for Shari and Evan, as Shari used to live right near there and they both have spent several date nights there!  Evan wanted to make sure we highlighted exactly where we were, so you'll definitely notice some street signs indicating that we were, in fact, right in the heart of Dupont!  We also stopped by Cafe Dupont, one of their favorite places to go, located in The Dupont Circle Hotel.  Shari and Evan got the opportunity to sit back and relax and have a couple of drinks while I photographed them candidly at the cafe.  I absolutely loved that, and I'm so glad the staff and patrons at Cafe Dupont were okay with us hanging out there!

After our Dupont Circle escapade, we decided to head down toward the back of the Lincoln Memorial to see what kind of shots we could get.  I have to agree with Evan on this one: the Lincoln one of my favorite memorials to view at night!  It's just so gorgeous, even driving passed it from a distance, so I'm really glad we got some photos with it!  As a super bonus, while I was setting up the Lincoln shots, Shari happened to notice the super moon that peeked out to the right of the Lincoln!  We were all crazy excited about it, so naturally we got some shots with the super moon as well.  :D

Thanks so much Shari and Evan for an incredible nighttime session!  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!

Lauren and Kunal's Spring Engagement Session!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a pretty amazing couple, Lauren and Kunal!  Their wedding is next month, but we took advantage of the beautiful spring weather we've been having (well, when it was warm anyway!) and did an engagement session down at the WWI Memorial and Gravelly Point Park in DC! These two locations were completely ideal for Lauren and Kunal.  In terms of the memorial, Lauren and Kunal had their very first date among the monuments and Kunal had the prescience to ask someone to photograph them that night in front of the tidal basin.  They now take long walks among the monuments whenever the get the chance!  And regarding the Gravelly Point location (among airplanes), Lauren and Kunal's relationship has been defined by tons of travel.  Their first trip together was only after two months of dating, Lauren traveled overseas constantly for her old job, and more recently Kunal flies out of DC every four days for work.

I seriously had the best time ever hanging out with Lauren and Kunal.  They're very easy going and clearly just love being in the presence of one another.  Kunal is the goofball in the relationship and always knows how to make Lauren laugh.  He totally had me laughing behind the camera too!

I'm so excited to share these photos and cannot wait for Lauren and Kunal's wedding next month!  Enjoy!

Thanks for looking!

Jess and Matt's Capitol Hill Engagement Session!

There are some clients that I know I'm destined to photograph.  Jess is definitely one of those clients!  Only a few minutes after meeting her, we realized we had so much in common.  The glaring similarities right off the bat were that we both have gluten allergies and both try and experiment with gluten-free baking, which is really tough .  Secondly, she and I both loved the same restaurant near the Courthouse Metro in Arlington, Toscana, which used to have the best gluten-free pasta options (and has since switched management and now offers no gluten-free options.  We are both livid over it.).  The most recent similarity we discovered is our love for Parks and Recreation!  She and Matt (her awesome fiancé) are even dressing up as Ron Swanson and bacon for Halloween (you must watch the show to get this, but holy crap, it's the best idea ever!).  So, needless to say, I was excited to meet up with Jess and Matt for their recent engagement session over in Capitol Hill! The day we went out to the Capitol was just beautiful!  Everything was very bright and sunny, with a cool wind in the air and a little fall color.  Jess and Matt looked amazing, and Jess had even coordinated their outfits to be red, white and blue, but without being obvious.  I honestly had no idea that's what she was going for and I thought she did a great job with it!  As I'm sure you'll notice, they're just a really adorable couple.  They're incredibly fun while being laid back, and just mesh so well together.  They had the day planned out perfectly so we could do most of the photos at the Capitol, do an outfit change at Jessica's work, and then head over to the Georgetown area to meet up with their super-cute dogs!  I can't say enough how great this photo session was, and I hope you enjoy the photos.  Thank you so much, Jess and Matt, for an amazing session!  I cannot wait for your DC wedding next year (and to eat some really amazing gluten-free food!  Yay!).  Enjoy!

Aura and John's River Farm Engagement Session!

It's the beginning of a busy engagement session season, so we're kicking off the blog with this gorgeous couple, Aura and John!  Aura contacted me the week after they got engaged about doing some photographs, and I had to admire her for being completely on top of the ball!  She describes herself as a type A personality who is a girlie girl, and loves clothing, shopping, decorating and Bravo TV shows (any girl who likes Bravo TV is cool in my book!).  She described John as a guys guy, who loves golf, football and music.  They're both hoping to get married in San Diego (as John lived there for quite a few years) as it fits their mutual love for amazing weather and the water.  But for the engagement photos, Aura and John wanted to stay local and wanted a gorgeous backdrop for some photos.  So I though the perfect place would be River Farm in Alexandria! River Farm is a spectacular venue.  I've shot quite a few weddings there, and I love it every time I'm there!  It's owned by the American Horticulture Society and has lush greenery and flowers in bloom at most times of the year.  Aura, John and I walked around the main garden quite a bit at first for some shots of the two of them just hanging out and looking amazing. I didn't have to give them too much direction, as John really loved being playful with Aura and made her laugh so much.  Some of my favorite shots though are of the two of them goofing off (which, yes, I encouraged) on top of a random platform in the garden (which I imagine has some type of old well underneath or something).  Anyway, always remember when you discover a random platform in a garden it's the perfect time for...dancing!  So I made them practice some dancing for their wedding which was hilarious to watch and photograph, but the photos turned out great.

Now, to incorporate more of who Aura and John are, I decided to do some shots of Aura with shopping bags (remember, she likes clothing and shopping!) and some shots of John with his golf clubs (remember, he loves golf!).  First up, Aura and John carried some shopping bags as if they had just returned from a shopping trip where Aura had made some lovely purchases.  John really committed to the part of being the hilarious boyfriend who didn't really want to carry the bags, but did it out of love for his gal anyway.  So cute!  Next up was John though, who really loved posing with his golf bag and clubs!  Aura graciously posed as his caddie and assisted him as best she could on the golf course (eh hem, lawn of the farm).  John just really shined during these shots, and I really love the series of him tossing a golf ball around and then teaching Aura how to golf.  I also brought along a croquet set for the fun couple to play along with, as the lawn at River Farm just begs for a croquet set to be a permanent fixture there.  As you can see by their croquet game faces, I wouldn't mess around with them.  In the end, Aura (with her awesome game face and mad skillz) beat John at croquet, but it wasn't a real game anyway so everyone was a winner.  Yay!  We ended our session with a few final shots of the happy couple at the house and then hanging out in some cozy rocking chairs.

Aura and John, thank you so much for letting me photograph your engagement photos!  I had a blast and I would do it again in a heartbeat!  Enjoy!

Alexis and Andrew's Capitol Hill Engagement Session - Part Two!

I'm back with part two of Alexis and Andrews Capitol Hill engagement session!  If you missed part one at the actual Capitol, head over here.  Otherwise, press on for some really unique photos taken at the Eastern Market in the heart of the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood! We went to the Eastern Market after our Capitol Hill adventure to take some casual shots of the happy couple!  The Eastern Market is significant to Alexis and Andrew because they love to shop there, and also because it's full of incredibly talented artisans, of which Andrew is one!  Andrew is a glass blower, and I loved picking his brain about the glass blowing process and the kind of temperatures he deals with.  It's very scary, but also incredibly fascinating!  We certainly fit right in the local and artistic crowd while we wandered around looking at plants, produce and textiles.  I just loved the colors of the entire market, which is why so many of the shots have bright vivid colors!  My favorite photos are the ones of Alexis and Andrew in front of a produce stand inside the covered market.  I just love the the variation of color and the peppers they're holding!

After wandering around for awhile, we went just outside the market and discovered this amazing brick wall with a one way sign that Alexis and Andrew had a blast with!  I love the candids of them just being playful and laughing.  So adorable!  And the plain brick wall photos aren't too shabby too!

Thanks so much Alexis and Andrew for such a fun time in Eastern Market!  Whenever I wear my floppy hat (purchased there), I'll certainly think of you!  :)  Enjoy!
