DC
This past weekends wedding with Crystal and Stephen was fantastic, even if it did rain! We spent most of our time indoors, but that didn't stop us from getting a few shots outside (of course! Don't you know I'm always game for rain!). ;) Below are a few sneak peeks from their stunning wedding at the Dumbarton House and China Garden. I hope you enjoy! Happy Monday!

And here’s my fancy certificate:
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!

I've had so many weddings recently and I'm just trying to keep up with the awesomeness of all of them! So for two of my gorgeous couples I'm letting you see some sneak peeks before your full blog posts. I hope you enjoy these photos! :) Here's Ahsha and Ade...

Elizabeth and Auden are definitely my most-traveled couple of the year. When I first heard from Elizabeth, I received an email from her indicating she would love to hear more about me and Skype some night about her DC wedding. Why Skype, you might wonder? Oh, you know, because she was living in Malaysia! She and Auden used to live in the DC area, relocated to Malaysia for a couple of years, and were actually moving back to DC briefly (for their wedding!) and then heading off to Leeds, UK after that! Yowzas! However, even with all of that going on, Elizabeth was calm and collected and explained how everything was going to work for their big day. She informed me they were getting married at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in DC with a reception to follow at The Women's National Democratic Club. Then she dropped the word "brunch" in the description of her reception, and my mouth started watering (very Homer Simpson-like I might add), and I knew that Elizabeth and Auden had to be mine! Fortunately, they did book me, and I'm proud to present their wedding photos! The day of the wedding was beautiful! We started at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, which I completely fell in love with at our walk-through. The history involved with their church is pretty amazing, especially because President Abraham Lincoln and his family were pew holders just shortly after his inauguration. So, quite a few of the rooms that Elizabeth and Auden got ready in were historic and antique looking. One of my favorite shots of the day is Auden with his best man sitting under a portrait of Abraham Lincoln...trying to mimic Abraham Lincoln's pose and gaze. I think they did a pretty great job too! :) My other favorite shots of the day were from our walk to Dupont Circle, right before we entered the reception at The Women's National Democratic Club. The wind was kicking up due to some incoming weather, so I loved seeing Elizabeth's happy reaction to her veil flying all around! The reception was lovely and aside from the actual brunch (which yes, I did eat), I loved photographing the gorgeous petifores (check out the cute mice!) and cake. Elizabeth's background is in baking, so it's no wonder her desserts were so awesome! Their rose petal exit happened just before the rain started pouring, and I couldn't have been happier with that. I had an absolute blast being part of Elizabeth and Auden's special day, and I hope you enjoy the photos. Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Auden! I hope you enjoy your new home in Leeds, UK!

If you missed part one of Briean and Casey's Hurricane Irene wedding, go here! Otherwise, keep reading for some recap of the reception, along with some gorgeous detail and reception photographs! By this time of the wedding we have made it passed the insane outdoor photos with the wedding party and happy couple, Briean and Casey. Everyone, of course, got completely drenched in the rain, even with umbrellas! Our umbrellas, unfortunately, were no match for the 25-30 mph winds outside, but they did make for some lovely props! :D
After all the craziness, heading indoors at The Sunset Room at National Harbor was such a nice, warm welcome! The room was simply stunning, and really captured the essence of Briean and Casey's nautical theme I had heard so much about. I don't even know where to begin on the amount dedication that Briean and Casey put into their details! So I'll just start listing all of my favorites: wooden sailboats as table "escort cards," wooden oars for guests to sign (that Briean and Casey can later display in their home), nautical lanterns as table centerpieces, Briean and Casey's favorite Bethany Beach go-to places as table names (all neatly framed, of course), a giant porcelain boat to hold all of the beer, cocktail napkins with questions about Briean and Casey on them (in the wedding colors, obviously), roped boat knots lining the cocktail chairs and a "Hail to the Hurricane" signature cocktail added the day before the wedding. Other amazing details were the simple white cake with a gorgeous giant flower, made my Purple Onion (mimicking the flower on Briean's sash she wore with her dress), plus ruby red slippers that Briean changed into for her "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" dance with her father. See what I mean? Briean and Casey had everything covered!
Aside from the details, I just really loved how excited and energetic the whole wedding reception was. Yes, there was still a hurricane going on outside. Yes, the lights would flicker every once in a while (particularly later in the evening, as things got worse the later it got). Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed themselves! The food was incredible thanks to Purple Onion and the dance floor was hopping thanks to DJ Blazin Hot (who came straight from Bethany Beach for the wedding!). The speeches were incredibly touching and the love in the room was palpable. I enjoyed every single minute of it!
One more thing I want to say is about the last photo I took, which ended up being one of my favorites of the whole wedding. Something the Gaylord does down at the National Harbor every Saturday evening in the summer is have a fireworks show at 9:30 pm. Briean and I had talked about that well in advance and had totally planned out the shot we were going to do with the fireworks in the background. Well, needless to say, the fireworks were completely cancelled due to the hurricane. However, throughout the night, I kept noticing how cool the raindrops looked on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Sunset Room, particularly when they were backlit by some outdoor lights. So, with the same shot in mind as the fireworks, I wanted to illuminate Briean and Casey and capture the window with raindrops in the background. I was so stoked at the final result of that photograph, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If it can't be fireworks, I'm definitely happy with this as a runner-up!
Thanks again to my gorgeous couple, Briean and Casey, and to their family and friends for allowing me to capture this incredible event amidst a hurricane. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! :)
Thanks for looking!

Where do I begin with Briean and Casey? It's been almost a year since I met them, and even though we don't hang out on a regular basis, I definitely consider them to be friends! They're just an incredible couple inside and out. I shot two amazing engagement sessions for them, one of them last winter and one this spring, and I honestly can't get enough of hanging out with these two. That's why it's so crazy that their wedding is over and done with! Briean and Casey's wedding theme was perfectly suited for the two of them, as they both have a unique history with everything nautical. Casey used to be a rescue diver in the Coast Guard, and Briean's favorite place to be in the world is Bethany Beach. Not only that, but Briean worked at National Harbor for quite a while! So when Casey proposed to Briean at Bethany Beach last year, it was no surprise that once they began their wedding planning they went with a classy nautical theme to tie everything in (not to mention planned their reception at National Harbor). With a white, pink and navy color palette, Briean worked her magic all over this wedding and it pulled together to look amazing!
Of course, one aspect of the wedding we weren't counting on was the fact that a hurricane would be a part of it! I had just returned from a small trip on Monday to see the news reports of Hurricane Irene brewing in the Atlantic, with the trajectory hitting the east coast, and *gasp* the Washington, D.C. area on Saturday! Both Briean and I were a little panicked, but we both stayed calm and just came up with a backup plan. I knew that we would probably have to do most of the formal photographs inside, but I told her we may want to venture out into the rain to get some of the shots I know she envisioned for the wedding. I have to say, I was completely impressed with Briean, Casey and their wedding party. I have never met a more passionate group of people who were willing to do whatever it took to get the perfect photographs! For me, it was a dream, because I'm a huge weather nut, so I was up for anything! But it was just so amazing to see everyone pull together for the happy couple!
I could go on and on here, but this is only PART ONE of Briean and Casey's wedding! So, I'll let the photos speak for themselves. :) Enjoy everyone, and stay tuned for part two!
The salon provide Brie with a hurricane drink:
Many thanks to the Westin National Harbor for letting us shoot indoors:
And now...the outdoor photos! Also, yes, the four inside-out umbrellas were made that way from the wind, I promise:
Outdoors it looked more like this with all the dark swirly clouds:
Running to the reception:
Briean's garter was falling down so Casey was a big sweetheart and helped a girl out. Isn't this shot adorbs:

I am beyond thrilled to announce that my most recent wedding of Briean and Casey was just published in the Washingtonian! Squee! Right after Briean and Casey's wedding I knew someone would want to cover it. It took place on Saturday, August 27th in the middle of Hurricane Irene (and I know most weddings in the area were cancelled because of the hurricane). Photographed at National Harbor, my husband and I were still able to get the photographs that Briean envisioned for her big day...even in a hurricane! I cannot thank the Washingtonian enough for writing about Briean and Casey and posting some of my images. I am so thrilled with the whole experience (if you know me well, you know I like extreme weather, so this really fit!), and I thank everyone who was an encouragement to me right before this wedding! Many thanks to Briean and Casey for entrusting me with their photos (and their lives!) during Hurricane Irene! Below are the screen captures, but to read the article on the Washingtonian, just go here:

Katie and Tom are the kind of couple I could sit back and chill out with all the time. In fact, we met up at Adega in Silver Spring for their consult and walk-through and just relaxed, drank some wine and beer, and had a great time. So knowing that their wedding is all done makes me sad, as I might not get to hang out with them anymore! :( But enough of me moping...on to their wedding! TomKat (oh yeah, I went there!) had their gorgeous wedding ceremony at Georgetown University in Dahlgren Chapel (an alma mater of Katie's). After the ladies left their hotel, they continued getting ready over in a classroom of Healy Hall at Georgetown, and I absolutely had to utilize the giant chalkboard they had in there for some photos! Some of my favorite shots of the day were the ones of Katie making a list of things she had to do on her wedding day. So cute! Katie and Tom looked amazing during the ceremony and totally beamed with excitement. :) After Katie and Tom were married, they wanted to go to The Tombs, a local bar and restaurant that Katie used to work at when she was still in school at Georgetown. So we walked over there and got a few photos (and they got drinks!) before we headed off to the reception! Their reception was held at the Silver Spring Civic Center, a new building in downtown Silver Spring that is a beautiful modern space for people to utilize for events. I was instantly drawn to its modern structure and gorgeous wood on the outside of it, which you will see in the last two photos.
Many thanks to Katie and Tom for inviting me to be a part of their wedding! I had such a fun time with them, their family and their friends. Like I said, it's sad that it's all over, but I'm so happy I can share these photos with them! :) Enjoy!

P.S. If you didn't see their photo booth, check that out here! :)
This year has been a great year for Lisa Boggs Photography in terms of being published on a few different sites! One site that's near and dear to my heart is, of course, United with Love, which is a DC-Area blog launched in 2010 (and it has been amazingly successful with DC brides-to-be!). They were so kind to feature me last year here and here, and included me this year in a feature series they did on DC-Area wedding photographers (aka, Photography Week)! Every bride still on the hunt for a photographer should read that whole series! UWL is a great resource for all brides-to-be, so definitely check it out if you're looking for vendors! Anywho, here's a screen shot below from where they quoted me (click for full post):
Next up is an even newer blog to the DC-Area called Bayside Bride! They're an Annapolis and Chesapeake Bay Area dedicated blog that love to post everything nautical! So when I submitted my sailboat-themed engagement session with Briean and Casey, they jumped on it! Here's the screen capture (click for full post):
And lastly, national blog Elizabeth Anne Designs just featured Brooke and Aaron's vintage book-themed wedding on their site, which was incredibly awesome! Many thanks to Ami for the feature and to A Sweet Soiree for the amazing planning of that wedding (which made it gorgeously publishable!). Here's the screen capture (click for full post):
Many thanks to all of my clients and vendors who have all had a hand in these publishing opportunities. It would not have been possible without you! Of course, the year isn't over with yet and I'm excited for some other publishing opportunities that appear on the horizon for Lisa Boggs Photography! So definitely check back to see what we're up to!

I seriously can't say enough good things about this couple. Mike and I met Cicely and Jason two years ago, and they have been some of our best friends ever since! You may remember them from my Valley of Fire photo shoot we did in February when we decided to take a day out of our WPPI trip to go play around in the desert! Well, Cicely and Jason are back on the blog in their urban graffiti portrait session, and let me just say...they completely rocked it! Cicely, Jason and I all went back and forth on an idea for them in the planning stages, and when the idea of graffiti came up I thought it sounded awesome. They're definitely an urban kind of couple and they wanted that feel without it looking too much like Washington, DC. Jason actually found this wall (if you ask me where it is, I won't remember, so just ask him!) and I was ecstatic to head out there and see what different kinds of shots we could get! Cicely was a completely natural from the beginning, and although Jason ended up being quite the GQ model, we did have to work a bit of the giggles out of him to begin with (if you know who he is, you know exactly what I'm talking about)! We had an amazing time with these two, and I'm so happy with the photos we were able to get of them. Mike accompanied me as my fierce assistant, and he did a great job with ideas and lighting throughout the shoot. We wrapped up at sundown and of course celebrated our success with delicious Mexican food close-by. I believe Jason would refer to this as "winning!" Ha ha ha ha! :)
Thanks so much to my photog besties for letting us take these photos of them! We love you guys! Enjoy!

Hurray for photo booths! I recently photographed the adorable Katie and Tom, and was delighted that when they booked me, they added a photo booth! I can't say enough good things about adding this feature to your package. Where else can you get your aunt and uncle to wear some crazy garb and get in front of the camera? Sure, I'll probably photograph them candidly on the dance floor...but wouldn't you rather have a photograph of them with crazy huge sunglasses on their faces, along with some awesome mustaches on a stick? Of course you would! And with Katie and Tom's wedding their family and friends did not disappoint! Scroll below to see some hilarious photographs, and if you're part of this awesome group, you can head over to see some of them on Facebook (and even use one as a profile photo!) or you can head over to the main gallery page, see the full gallery, and purchase one if you like! Enjoy!

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!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today I'm blogging on the Alexis and Andrew, a wonderful couple I met thanks to a local DC blog, United with Love. Alexis and Andrew's recent engagement session was so jam-packed with awesomeness that I had to make it into two posts! Eeek! Get excited! First up are the photos we took at the Capitol in DC. Alexis worked on Capitol Hill for 4 years, and she knew she wanted some photos there as it's incredibly significant to her. We arrived there at a great time of day, as the tours were going on, but not in full force! We had a lot of open space to utilize without too many people getting in the way, and it was so much fun! I absolutely loved that it was a gorgeous day, as the bright blue sky just made Alexis' fuschia colored dress pop. I felt it was a huge injustice to make any of these photos black and white...the colors were just phenomenal!
Our trip around the Capitol was not only fun because we were taking photos, but also informative because Alexis and Andrew knew so much! I particularly loved The Summer House, or Capitol Grotto that they took us to, as it was this lovely little area just outside of the Capitol that I never knew existed! When Alexis worked at the Capitol, it was where she would head for lunch on some days, which I thought was just lovely. You've gotta love these hidden jems!
I'm pretty much convinced that Alexis is going to be President some day, so we did take some photos of her in front of the Capitol on her own when Andrew was getting the car. He he he! All in all, it was such a fun time and I'm so glad I got to hang out with Alexis and Andrew for this part of the session. Toward the end of this post there are some photos of them at Eastern Market, which is where their next post will pick up! Enjoy the photos below! :)
Also, many thanks to Gina Robinson for her awesome makeup skills! :D Thanks for looking!

I recently met up with Jessica and Will at Dumbarton Oaks, one of my favorite places in the DC area! Jessica contacted me a few months ago to set up the session, as Will lives in Texas at the moment and had to plan his trip back to DC. Jessica loved what I did with another couple at Dumbarton Oaks and in Georgetown, so we nailed that down as the place we absolutely had to go to! The day we arrived it was a gorgeous spring day, with lots of greenery everywhere! The theme for this shoot was definitely purple. If you've seen Steel Magnolias, you know that Shelby's signature colors were pink and pink (well, actually blush and bashful). Well Jessica's signature colors were purple and purple! She wore a really gorgeous purple top that just popped up against all of that color at Dumbarton! Not to mention there was a lot of purple wysteria hanging around about the grounds that were the perfect match to her outfit!
Jessica and Will were a joy to work with! There's really nothing quite as fun then walking around a gorgeous area like Dumbarton and getting to photograph a couple in love. By the end of the shoot I was working with two pro's who knew exactly what to do and how to work it! I had such a blast. Jessica and Will, thanks for such a fun day and for taking me to Dumbarton! I hope we get to work together for your 2012 wedding! Enjoy!

Yay! It's time for Cherry Blossoms! Okay, so I know that most of the blossoms are gone now, but not for me! I've been looking at these photos of Jason, Katie and Blake for a while now, and I can't wait to show them! Katie is a fellow photographer I met recently at a networking event, and I was ecstatic when she asked if I would do family portraits for them! She is a portrait photographer herself, so I felt like I had a lot to live up to! When coming up with ideas for where to go, I really thought heading down to the Cherry Blossom's would be a lot of fun. I always see photographers down their with engaged couples, but for some reason the idea of photographing a family there seemed really cool to me. Especially with Blake, who is about a year-and-a-half old. This would be his first Cherry Blossom experience, ever! How cute is that?!
So, we all met down there on a Sunday morning to take the photos. It was a really cold day, and we had to battle the Cherry Blossom 5K going on as we were all trying to meet up! Amongst the craziness, we made everything work, and I really enjoyed the shots we got. Jason and Katie were absolutely amazing with Blake, and new exactly all the games to play to make him laugh and have a great time. Blake of course was adorable, whether smiling or not! And we did sneak in a few shots of just Jason and Katie while Blake rocked it out to some music on Jason's phone. So cute! I have a special video I took of him rocking out at the end. Hope everyone enjoys the photos!

What a great weekend! I had three beautiful portrait sessions that took me to very different places in the DC area, and they were all spectacular! Dan and Kristen got engaged in Old Town Alexandria (and I photographed the proposal!); Katie, Jason and Blake explored the Cherry Blossoms in DC; and Katie and Jeff met with me for their engagement photos in Delaplane, VA! Although exhausted after everything yesterday, I still couldn't wait to review the photos and pick my favorites from the weekend. Enjoy the photos below and stay tuned for each groups own blog post!
Dan and Kristen just after the proposal:

I am a lucky gal to be married to frontman Mike Boggs of We Were Pirates. Not only is he a strikingly handsome dude, but he plays and records honestly good music, of which I get to hear every so often (and by "every so often" I mean every day *grin*). Well, I'm blogging on this super talented guy and his bandmates that will be accompanying him this Sunday, February 13 for a show at the Black Cat! The photos below are a good representation of just how attractive this team of former pirates is, so consider yourself lucky if you get to feast your eyes on this rock 'n' roll eye candy. Enjoy the photos below (from their recent Rock N Roll Hotel show), and for deets on the show, scroll to the bottom! (Oh, and if you have a moment or so, vote for them at Artist of the Month for DC/Baltimore bands in the Deli Magazine contest! Yay!)

We Were Pirates....The Black Cat....Sunday February 13th....8:30pm....The Silver Liners....Time Travel....You....All Your Friends....$8....
We are going to play so much rock and roll music that everyone will lose their minds and cry. For those who cry, it will be embarrassing, but I think we will all grow emotionally....because of the rock.
Come and hang out with us and listen to the glorious rock and roll music.

I'm back with part two of Ingrid and Pat's wedding day, continuing with photos all taken at the gorgeous The Mayflower Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel! If you missed part one, check it out here, and go here for their hilarious photo booth photos! I had a hard time narrowing these down (which you'll probably realize once you get scrolling!). I just thought there were so many unique photographic opportunities at this venue! My favorites from this group are probably the ones taken from outside the Mayflower, looking up at Ingrid and Pat on the balcony of their hotel suite. However, I also love the ones of them in front of the theatre-like curtain of the ballroom we had the reception in! Eek! Too many choices (see why I had a hard time?).
All in all, the entire reception experience was amazing. Ingrid and Pat's family and friends didn't disappoint at all (particularly on the dance floor!), and you can just see the excitement in the air! I had such a wonderful time photographing Ingrid and Pat's wedding, and I can't thank them enough for the opportunity. Thanks so much guys, and please enjoy the photos below!

Last week I posted photos from Ingrid and Pat's hilarious photo booth. This week it's time to take a glimpse at Ingrid and Pat getting ready for their wedding and getting officially hitched! To recap, I met Ingrid and Pat over a year ago: Ingrid is a nurse and Lieutenant in the United States Navy and Pat is a Landing Force Communications Officer in the United States Marine Corps. Ingrid was deployed in Afghanistan for most of 2010, but returned in the late Fall of 2010. This couple is just extraordinary, and you can tell in the photos that they love each other dearly. What I love most about them is that they're both fun-loving, but both can turn on their inner models like that! However, it doesn't last too long because Pat is the comedian of the duo, always there to do a few hilarious impressions (my personal fav, Gloria, from Modern Family) to make Ingrid laugh. You'll be able to tell in some of their ceremony photos that Pat just could not contain himself and made Ingrid giggle a few times. :)
I hope you enjoy these photos below! The getting ready shots were taken at The Mayflower Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel, and the ceremony shots were at the Fort Meyer Chapel. We did stop at Iwo Jima on the way back to the reception site and got some beautiful photos there too! Enjoy!
