Lindsey + Peter met me in the heart of Old Town right before sunset to catch some engagement photos with that charm that only Old Town, Alexandria has. We walked around the cobblestone streets just as hints of spring were starting to bloom, and ended the session with them relaxing at the waterfront. Can’t wait […]

One of my favorite things to do is to try and get creative with engagement sessions in DC. I really want to have the session reflect the couple’s personalities, get them comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding, and most importantly we just have so much fun! We did Courtney + Jason’s engagement session in DC at Key Bridge Boat House and it was such a great evening with the most perfect sunset. A few favorites!
