This Georgetown engagement session was absolutely stunning as we captured that perfect golden light before sunset. Caroline and Dominic live in the city so it made this session that much more special to them. So excited for their wedding at The Four Seasons Georgetown with Anne Kelley Events and Design!

Though I am a destination wedding photographer, it has been a long time since I really got to enjoy my travels without any itinerary.
