Cristina & Kyle | Cherry blossom engagement session | Smithsonian Air and Space Museum | Washington, DC
Cristina and Kyle are getting married on a beautiful beach in Southern California, but they live on this side of the country in a place with four seasons. We took advantage of one of Washington's prettiest with the cherry blossoms last week. Their other desired location was the Air and Space Museum, for some mandatory nerding out. I'm always happy to oblige such requests.
A quick outfit change and we rolled over to the iconic blossoms.
They pup joined us for some frolicking in the trees.
Congratulations, guys!
They brought along their little love puppy whose name is a Star Trek reference!
They met at sea! How romantic is that? Hence the maritime and water theme here.
We took the doggy to the Shirlington Dog Park to do some candid action.
A quick outfit swap and we rolled to the full-bloom magnolias behind the Smithsonian Castle. Throughout April and early May, there are always some kind of blooming tree to stand near and get pretty flower photos. We missed the cherry blossoms by just a tad for this session, but the magnolias were wonderful.
And then we did some weird ones. Because I like weird and they seemed game.
Congratulations, you guys!
We spent the session wandering around their neighborhood and waterfront. This was this past weekend, y'all - the one good day in the last something like two months and the last one we might see for a while. Major planning win.
And, you know, it was NYC so I had to find some graffiti to play with. "Beau" is about the best graffiti one can hope for. We had previously rejected some F-bomb graffiti.
Of course we had to rock out the Subway.
Congratulations, you guys! I'll see you in September!
