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….
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 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!
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!
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!
