Love in Aisle Three :: A DC Engagement Session

When Brighton told me that she and Fred like to dance at the grocery store while waiting at the deli counter, I knew we had our engagment shoot. I love when photo session locations have special significance to the couple. This was definitely one of the most interesting and creative engagement sessions I've ever shot, although we had to navigate what seemed like the entire population of Washington, DC replenishing their refrigerators after the blizzard.

What I love about this session is that it is real. Sure, I picked a few spots for them to stand, but the interactions are all them. Brighton and Fred are such a fun, free-spirited couple. The kind of couple that dances at the grocery store while waiting at the deli counter.

Bonus: Brighton and Fred got to shop for dinner during the shoot. That's quality multitasking.

I can't wait to shoot their wedding at the Carnegie Institute next month.

Jeannie & Jon :: A Baltimore Engagement Session

I always enjoy when couples choose meaningful locations for their engagement session. Jeannie and Jon wanted to incorporate their Baltimore neighborhood for their session, so we spent the morning wandering, chatting and laughing. I'm so looking forward to their wedding at the Columbia Country Club in April!

Jessica and Peter's Bluemont Wedding Featured in Washingtonian

I'm thrilled that Jessica and Peter's Bluemont, VA wedding was chosen as a featured Real Wedding in the latest Washingtonian Bride & Groom magazine. I knew their wedding was "magazine-worthy" with so many fabulous details and beautiful flowers by Holly Chapple Flowers. This low-res version doesn't do the spread justice, so be sure to run out and find one on the newsstand!
