Natalie & Chris | Anniversary session

Absolutely love when things work out! Love it even more when a couple you photograph becomes good friends. We briefly met Natalie and Chris as guests from another wedding. Two years later they reached out to us for an Anniversary shoot. After some time planning, we ended up at the beautiful Anderson House and Kennedy Center.  Though some of their images are elegant and stoic the session was very casual. We had great conversation, big laughs and got to meet their dog Luna! For those of you who didn't know, our dog's name is also Luna. Since their shoot, we've become good friends and looking forward to more fun hangouts.

Janeen & Brian | Annapolis Wedding

Lovely day, lovely couple, amazing family and friends. Janeen and Brian had their wedding in Annapolis at the ever so charming Weddings at Magnolia, a private home that caters to weddings. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends that made the day relaxed but also very fun and full of laughter. Despite the extreme heat everyone remained in good spirits and it didnt stop anyone from having a blast at the reception.

So many sweet and real moments throughout the day that just warmed our hearts.

Colleen + Stephen | Evergreen Museum Wedding

Colleen and Stephen met five years ago in DC but lived in Germany at the time they first got in touch with us. They expressed how important their family and friend meant to them and that they want their images to reflect the connections they all have. This meant candid moments of love, laughter and dancing. Their day was beautiful and relaxed despite the overcast skies and occasional rain. Every moment throughout the day was full of meaningful and fun interactions.

Sharon & Trieu | Rose Hill Manor Wedding

First new post of 2017, so Happy New Year to everyone checking it out!

Though this wedding was from 2016 it feels like a great start for 2017. In a good way, it was difficult choosing favorites images for this post because it was FULL of great expressions and interesting compositions. As I went back and forth deciding on moments, I kept thinking how everyone's wedding should feel like this. Sharon and Trieu had an amazing day despite the heat and severe thunderstorm that made the day a bit more challenging. You can see in people's faces how much they had fun and enjoyed celebrating w/ Sharon and Trieu. Just another reason we love our job so much.

In case you were wondering, light sabers were Trieu's groomsmen gift.

Enjoy many of our favorites below! Then go tell someone you love them :)
