Sarah & Tim | Georgetown University engagement | Washington, DC
Sarah & Tim are getting married back home, but live here in the District and wanted to capture some engagement photos for posterity at Tim's alma mater, Georgetown University. Georgetown is a really beautiful campus, and I learned that is partially because there is an endowment specifically for landscaping. So there's that. We did their engagement session on Tim's very birthday, the kind soul, so special thanks to him! It wasn't so hard though, these guys are all laughs.
Here's location #1 right next to dumpsters. I love how photography isolates - such that you only see what I want you to see, not the dumpsters in this alleyway (which was very nicely landscaped, obviously).
Location #2 by dumpsters! Sarah and Tim were such good sports for this one. "Walk that way and laugh out like you're having the best walk of your lives." This always works, seriously. Fake laughing is actually hilarious.
Could Sarah's hair get any more perfect? Seriously.
Congratulations, you guys!
It was really fun photographing Claudia and her ladies get ready in her mother's house. Everybody's stuff was all over and it was kind of like a slumber party, but with big purple dresses.
I was basically obsessed with Claudia's maid of honor's tattoos.
I almost didn't notice how cool the picture on the right is - I managed to get the groomsman's hands framed in his sunglasses - total accident (but I'm completely going to go for this in the future)!
We did bridal party portraits on the Georgetown waterfront. It was a really nice backdrop for their hip wedding attire scheme of linen suits, seafoam green ties and purple bridesmaid dresses.

And then we headed over to Dahlgren Chapel. I'd never been and I loved the way the light bounced all over the small courtyard in front of the church. Georgetown is a very attractive place.
Oh, and they also had the cutest baby in the whole world at this wedding. I don't know how they swung it, but they got her there on a Saturday night, obviously way past her bedtime. OMG I can't look at this photo, I involuntarily start saying things like "that baby is so cute!"
I really liked the table decorations - lots of folded origami birds and little candy bottles.
And of course, there was dancing. I heard from a very reputable source that it got pretty crazy there after I left. I guess that "Hora Loca" really was!
Congratulations Claudia and Eddie!
