After two postponements due to rain Henry and Faye were lucky to have an absolutely gorgeous day for their engagement session. We had a wonderful time walking around Georgetown. These two are so cute together. I can’t wait for their wedding in just a couple of weeks!

I met Christine + Justin recently in downtown DC for a fun session running around U St. We started at Tabaq for a drink and then headed out. The weather kept threatening thunderstorms, so we were prepared to duck into the closest bar, but luckily, it never rained! I loved Christine’s dress – so colorful and fun! These two are so sweet and easy to be around – can’t wait for the wedding at Dumbarton House in September!

This was a sort of funny moment, but I loved the energy in the shot!

We headed back to Justin + Christine’s house for some photos in their gorgeous backyard with their adorable dogs!

If you’ve never been hiking at Sugarloaf Mountain in Dickerson, MD – you must go! It’s stunningly gorgeous there and so close to the DC area. Laura & Ryan, wise and worldly as they are, know all about Sugarloaf and chose this gorgeous spot for their engagment photos. After days of ominous weather forecasts, the sun came peeking out and the day was beautiful! We drove all over the mountain, stopping here and there for photos. Laura and Ryan are such sweet, fun people – you can’t help but have a good time around them. And their little poodle is just about the cutest thing you ever did see, no kidding!

We dropped by the grounds of Stronghold Mansion for a few quick shots. It’s so gorgeous there, you could spend the whole day!

Katherine + Allen | Virginia Engagement Photography

Katherine + Allen met up on a chilly fall day recently for their engagement session. They live in Virginia and the idea of an urban setting in their home state really appealed to them – and where in NoVA is more “downtown” feeling than Rosslyn? We started for a drink and then jumped all around the town. And everywhere we went, Allen had Katherine laughing hysterically – madly even! I couldn’t help but laugh along with them and the time went so fast, I couldn’t believe when the sun was already setting! Can’t wait for the wedding in April – I’ve no doubt it will be an incredibly joyful day!

Danielle + Randy | Washington DC Engagement Photography

Just before the weather turned freezing, Danielle + Randy enjoyed the gorgeous fall colors right downtown around U Street in Washington DC. We found all sorts of fun nooks and crannies and discovered some off-the-beaten-path corners of the neighborhood. These two were so cute together and had such a great time laughing and joking around – can’t wait for the wedding next summer!

Last shot of the evening – it was fun to experiment a little! We only had a quick moment, but I kinda like how this one came out!

Congratulations Danielle + Randy! You guys were so much fun to hang out with and I can’t wait for the wedding!

Alicia + Josh | Maryland Engagement Photography

Sometimes you don’t realize how much you need some fresh air until you’re out in it, breathing it and loving it! Alicia + Josh’s engagement session last week at Wye Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland was like a vacation. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, the leaves were gorgeous and we even saw a bunch of pheasants and a fox – extra bonus!

These two lovebirds are lucky enough to live out near this paradise by the bay – they love the woods and water and it was important to them to have their engagement photography session in a place that was meaningful to them. Conservation of the Chesapeake Bay is something they both work towards and they’ll be celebrating their “green” wedding next summer at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center. I’m personally hoping they’ll bring their two labs to the wedding so I get to meet them! Alicia organized everything perfectly and came prepared with a cozy blanket and hot chocolate for their fun, organic and woodsy engagement session.

The sound of the bay waters lapping against the shore by this picnic table were incredibly soothing – I’m definitely coming back here again!

I love that you can see the steam coming from their mugs – makes me feel cozy

The light was absolutely perfect as the sun sank behind the trees….

Fausta + Sean | Washington DC Engagement Photography

Leah Stern — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:34:24 +0000

Labor Day weekend was a busy one for us, but with this gorgeous weather, it breezed by! The weather was just perfect for Fausta & Sean’s engagement session on Monday and we had a blast wandering around DC. It’s no secret that I love to laugh and love even more to photograph people who laugh. So spending the evening with Fausta & Sean, who couldn’t stop laughing, was just heavenly!

I call this one…..”elements of a fabulous dip!”

Megan + Ray | Washington DC Engagement Photography

Leah Stern — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:10:24 +0000

Megan + Ray are getting married in Boston later this year and I have no doubt that they will have the most wonderful time! These two have a perfect chemistry and enjoy every minute together – they just laugh non-stop! And it was just impossible not to laugh right along with them! This is an extra-long post for an extra-long session – we strolled about down in Old Town Alexandria and then later grabbed a drink at Sonoma (one of my fav restaurants!) on Capitol Hill before heading over to Eastern Market.

Heehee – this is Ray’s mafia face – love it!

Alicia + Luke | Washington DC Engagement Photography

Leah Stern — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 14:34:15 +0000

I recently spent a lovely evening with Alicia & Luke, who are getting married in their home state of Iowa next year. We stayed right around Senate Park in Washington, DC and just lollygagged about in the gorgeous fading sunlight. Alicia & Luke have a marvelous chemistry between them – they joked and laughed the entire time and were so completely at ease together. Congratulations you two!

Lindsay + Mark | Washington DC Engagement Photography

Leah Stern — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:40:50 +0000

I can’t wait for Lindsay & Mark’s wedding in September – mainly because they are so sweet and fun to be around and because I’m so excited to shoot all the bold colors and patterns that decorate Hotel Monaco in Penn Quarter. We had a great time wandering around Georgetown recently for their engagement shoot. It was super hot, so we just took things slow and meandered to and fro.

Had to include this shot in the giant Adirondack chair – what a hoot!
