Lindsey and Daniel's Washington, DC Engagement Session

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Lindsey and Daniel in Washington, DC for their engagement session! The day of our shoot was originally scheduled as hot and sunny, but we realized the day before (and on the day of) that we were going to be dodging some stormy weather. Luckily, by the time I arrived in DC, the huge storm that plagued most of the afternoon was on its way out, so we hit the jackpot! Lindsey and Daniel were interested in hitting up one of my favorite locations in DC, the World War I Memorial. This is an awesome location, because although it's on the mall and very close to the WWII Memorial, it's tucked away just enough to lend itself to some privacy. Not to mention, it's just a really cool memorial! We took quite a few shots there and then tried a few different shots near the WWII Memorial on our way out. You can tell by the first photo that the storm was leaving, and everything was becoming a nice glistening gold as the sun was going down. By the time we left, the sky was so blue and gorgeous (with a few storm clouds approaching in the distance)!  I couldn't be happier with the photos that we got! Many thanks to Lindsey and Daniel for a super fun session! I can't wait for your wedding next year!

Thanks for looking!

Rachel and Ryan's Washington, DC Engagement Portraits

Spring is here!  On the official first day of spring, I was fortunate enough to take some lovely engagement photos of Rachel and Ryan in downtown Washington, DC!  We seriously couldn't have asked for a better day.  I had originally scheduled to shoot Rachel and Ryan's engagements back in February, right when the blizzards decided to strike the greater DC area!  So, we really had to wait for the great-melt-of-2010 to take place and before we moved forward, and boy did we make the right decision!  I could not be happier with the images we came up with!  We made a circle around a park (with the weeping willows), up to the WWII Memorial (new and old), then up through the West Potomac Park to the Lincoln Memorial.  Below are my absolute favorites from the day, but there are obviously lots more!  Hope you enjoy the images as much as I do!

Thanks for looking!  Also, wanted to point out that the really cool rusty door (shot number two) was actually at the very bottom of the steps leading up to the Lincoln Memorial.  What an awesome, hidden gem, right?

Love,
