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.
Caitlin and Trevor met while they were both students at GW, so we hung out there for the afternoon.
This is the bench where the magic began. I love that they both remember and can pinpoint the exact bench where they met.
Then we hopped in the library. Because libraries are totally sexy - or were you not aware?
We then popped over to Georgetown just as we were losing the light for some canal action and that fountain shot up above.
It was a good day. Congratulations Caitlin and Trevor! Looking forward to working with you guys again for your big day!
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.
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.
Also, there is a memorial to George Mason behind the Jefferson. Who knew?
Then we hit up the museum. I love shooting in modern art museums.
Congratulations, you guys!
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:
First we hit up their sweet rooftop deck.
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.
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.
Ole! (Sara, don't hate me, I love this photo, and you look hot.)
After roaming through the Eastern Market alleys (DC has some seriously awesome back alleys)...
...we rolled onto Navy Yard, which has a really cool new park set up overlooking the river.
Then it was fountain time! In my defense for this, it was really warm that day.
It was great seeing you guys! Can't wait for your wedding!
