Sarah + Chris: Engaged!

Sarah, Chris and I met by the Memorials last weekend to fit in a quick engagement session before their wedding at the end of this month. And I was amazed at how beautiful Sarah's eyes were each time I looked through the camera. She and Chris were adorable as they laughed at each other throughout my attempts to pose them. I can't wait to work with them again on the 21st!

See you both soon!

Theresa + David: Engaged!

Theresa and David met at Georgetown University on the first day of the freshman year. Now, as they both graduate this year, they are in the midst of planning their November wedding. To celebrate their college years together, the location of their engagement and their graduation, we felt that the campus was a perfect location to take their engagement photos. It was great to share some of their special spots with them!









Theresa and David also showed me this seal as we were walking around campus and asked me to take a photo of them walking on it. It is a Georgetown Univ. tradition that you cannot step on it until after you have received your diploma which they did this spring!

Everett + Susanne: Engaged!

Last Saturday, I joined Everett and Susanne at the Capital for their engagement pictures. Since I had two weddings in addition to their portraits last weekend, I've been a bit slow in posting on the blog. But I couldn't help but laugh when I received this message from them this afternoon:

"We know you are busy, but I can't resist asking how the engagement photos are coming. Any ETA? I can ask Susanne to write up an algorithm, but I'm pretty sure that your busyness of schedule is directly proportional with our excitement at mooning over pictures of ourselves. -Ev"

As I promised, here are a few to ease your excitement. Susanne, congrats again on the completion of your Ph.D. and I will see you in July!!

Lauren + Lee: Engaged!

Over the weekend, Lauren and Lee drove all the way down from Canton, PA to hang out with me and take some engagement photos. Despite the rain, we had a great time taking advantage of the urban scenery that Old Town Alexandria has to offer. They were such a fun couple to work with and they had me laughing more times than I could count. I can't wait to meet the whole town of Canton this June at their wedding. See you both in a few weeks!

Gen + Dan = Engaged!

Yesterday, I had a terrific afternoon with Gen and Dan in preparation for their April wedding. We wandered around Georgetown for a bit before we stopped to refuel with pizza and Belgian beer at Pizzeria Paradiso. And it was only after spending over 3 hours together did Dan and I realize that we had gone to the same high school, only one year apart! While my colleague, Joe will be their photographer for their wedding day, I hope to get a chance to stop by and see them before their ceremony. Regardless, best of luck to both of you and I am looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Robin + Rae: Engaged!

I first met Robin and Rae on Saturday morning and within 24 hours we were taking their engagement photos! We spent one of the first cool mornings this fall enjoying the changing colors of the leaves as we walked around the park. And it won't be long before we are enjoying the cool evening of their wedding in March!

Diana + Jonathan: Engaged!

Today Diana, Jonathan, Rocky-the-dog, and I toured Fairfax and took some fun engagement pictures. I had a great time with this (fabulous looking!) couple and I can't wait for the wedding next June!
