Emily & Matt | Natural History Museum engagement

Emily and Matt are pretty seriously awesome. You don't need to know much more than that they picked the Natural History Museum for their engagement photos. I've become something of a specialist in shooting in the DC museums (thank you DC museums!!) but this was my first go the Natural History. It was rad, I tell you, rad. engagement photos in the natural history museum natural history museum engagement photography engagement photography at natural history museum This was hilarious.

Susan & Senthil | Hirshhorn Museum engagement

I'll just go ahead and say it: I am basically incapable of spelling Hirshhorn without looking it up.  But it sure is a swell place to do some funky engagement photos.  Susan and Senthil and I were meant to do an awesome hot air balloon shoot last Saturday but the weather was just not cooperating.  We're going to do that and all, but winter is long and we've just begun.  Thus we found ourselves on one chilly November morning doin' it big at one of my favorite places to shoot in DC.  Y'all, Susan and Senthil: modern art engagement photography in washington dc engagement photos at ai wei wei exhibit hirshhorn museum engagement photos Did I mention I love shooting in DC's museums?  It can be tricky, light-wise.  And then sometimes you have this giant floating light cube to play with. engagement photos with ai wei wei sculpture at hirshhorn modern art engagement portraits engagement photos at hirshhorn museum And, because why not, we hopped across the street to the Air and Space to get a couple with space man.  If you can't have hot air balloons (immediately), it's the next best thing. engagement photography at air and space museum

K & O | DC courthouse wedding photography

K, O, and I were carefully watching Hurricane Sandy as we came up on their wedding day.  Thankfully for DC, the storm mostly blew right over and left a chilly, breezy winter day for us to play with.  A couple drops of rain and one very modern museum later, and we had some portraits! national gallery of art wedding photography But first, K & O rocked the courthouse. dc courthouse wedding photography wedding at washington dc courthouse washington dc courthouse photography courthouse wedding photography in washington dc courthouse wedding photography in dc washington dc wedding photography wedding photography at national gallery of art creative wedding photography in washington dc dc creative photography at art museum classic wedding photography in washington dc I've got a new proposal for couples wanting photos with the monuments - the National Gallery of Art!  No permit needed (okay technically not true, but I've never been harassed on the Mall, unlike every experience I've had trying to photograph couples on/near the monuments).  It's historic, beautiful and looks a heck of a lot like the "classic" DC scenes. wedding photography at national gallery of art courthouse wedding photography in washington dc Congratulations you guys!
