Kaja & Dan :: A Train Station Engagement Session
We've often said that engagement sessions are great for a number of reasons - for couples and photographers to get to know each other better, for couples to get used to being in front of the camera before the wedding day and, primarily, to get some fun, more casual portraits that we won't be able to get on the wedding day. My favorite engagement sessions are when the couple incorporates something meaningful to them into the photos. Kaja and Dan took that idea to the next level! Since Kaja lives in DC and Dan in NY, they often take the train to see each other. Kaja went up the Amtrak corporate ladder and was able to get access to the platform at Union Station and use of one of their trains. The Amtrak staff was so friendly and accomodating. It's nice to see a company take care of it's customers, even when it's a special request that could have easily been denied for any number of reasons.
After shooting on the platform, we took a walk over to the Capitol and ended in a nice grassy spot with great light! Kaja and Dan were so much fun during the session and I really can't wait for their wedding at the House of Sweden.
