Caitlin & Trevor | GW engagement

Caitlin and Trevor are the second couple I've made get into a fountain during their engagement session this year.  I'd say it was worth it. washington dc engagement photographer amber wilkie Caitlin and Trevor met while they were both students at GW, so we hung out there for the afternoon. george washington university engagement session This is the bench where the magic began.  I love that they both remember and can pinpoint the exact bench where they met.

Vaishali & John | Hirschorn Museum engagement session

I know I keep saying it, but I have really rad clients.  Without prompting, Vaishali and John suggested we do their engagement session at the Hirschorn Museum, my very favorite on the National Mall.  I've had the great fortune to work with two other couples this year who requested museums (and a fourth is coming up in December, yes!)  So much win. Vaishali and John recently moved away from DC, and you know the city misses them.  Nevertheless, I'm sure they are rockin' North Carolina hard at this point.  And how do I know?  Cuz of this. engagement photography with word art We hit up the Jefferson Memorial first to score some variety.  And for everyone curious (including folks who have requested sessions on the monuments), we were indeed stopped by the Park Police, who let us fire off a handful more frames and go on our way.  I continue to have success shooting on the steps, but that's about as far as they'll let you get. jefferson memorial engagement photography national mall engagement photography Also, there is a memorial to George Mason behind the Jefferson.  Who knew? engagement photography on the national mall Then we hit up the museum.  I love shooting in modern art museums. hirschorn museum engagement photography engagement session in a modern art museum hirschorn museum engagement session engagement session on the national mall Congratulations, you guys!

Sara & Aleko | Navy Yard engagement

I feel like I keep hitting the jackpot with clients.  For instance, on this engagement session, Sara and Aleko got into a fountain for me.  Who does that?  These two: engagement session in eastern market, washington dc First we hit up their sweet rooftop deck. engagement session in eastern market And then we moved inside for a bit.  I love shooting in my peoples' homes - it's so personal.  Plus, Sara and Aleko have a really beautiful apartment. engagement session at home engagement photography in your home And then we did some photos in their parking garage because... why not!  And because I love the light in parking garages.  And because Sara and Aleko are awesome. engagement photos in a parking garage parking garage engagement shoot eastern market engagement photography washington dc engagement photography with a trumpet engagement photography with bricks Ole!  (Sara, don't hate me, I love this photo, and you look hot.) ole!
