Heidi & Jason | Hirshhorn Museum engagement | Washington, DC

Heidi and Jason are super mega rad and completely adorable together. They told me they were really nervous about the photo shoot and then as soon as I put them somewhere, they started giggling and hugging and being ridiculously cute. I get the distinct impression this one of those couples people are always rolling their eyes at and secretly jealous of. I'm really excited for their wedding coming up soooooon! engagement session in the hirshhorn museum washington dc engagement photos in a museum If the Hirshhorn didn't have a rotating exhibit, I might get tired of it. As it is, I freakin' love shooting in this museum. cracking up during engagement photo shoot in the hirshhorn And because they're awesome, Heidi and Jason indulged me in a little making-like-the. making-like-the engagement photos engagement photos with modern art blue and white engagement photos in a museum Basically OCF folks (camera nerd-talk, ignore non-photographers!), I'll never tell!

Kaitlin & Andrew | Clarendon engagement session | Arlington, VA

I thrive on variety and exploration, so it's always a great joy to me when clients take me somewhere new and, most importantly, varied for their engagement sessions. Kaitlin and Andrew walked me through their neighborhood and we explored some murals and parking garages and a park they walk through all the time. It's great to be able to incorporate meaningful or familiar places into engagement sessions - so pictures are not just from a park, but from our park. Throw on some beautiful evening light and a happy couple and presto: arlington, va engagement photos engagement photo session in clarendon, virginia Can't go wrong with ice cream. engagement photos in clarendon ice cream shop Or back alleys. engagement session in arlington, va arlington, va happy engagement session I can't always make a "street" photo at an engagement session or wedding, but I sure do like it when it does happen. engagement photos on the street in clarendon engagement photos in clarendon, virginia clarendon engagement session artistic engagement photos creative engagement photos in arlington, va playful engagement photos in arlington, va Congratulations, you guys!

Julia & Alex | Old Town Alexandria engagement

Julia and Alex are my buddies who are going to tie that knot in October this year. Way back on when, they helped me out by modeling for me and now they're full-on engaged! We hit up Old Town, their old stomping grounds, on what was a pretty miserable, drizzly day. No worries. Alex is goofy enough to make Julia laugh and Old Town has plenty of cute little spots to bring tons of cheer to their engagement photos. funky old town alexandria engagement photos engagement session in old town alexandria engagement photos with red brick in old town alexandria The yellow wall.
