After walking over to H Street Country Club for dinner a few weeks ago, I have just been itching to photograph a couple there.  The bold colors and designs and fantastic decorations are just so much fun!  So when Melissa & Mitch agreed to my suggestion of starting for a drink there during their engagement session, I was so excited!  After some great drinks, we headed to this really cool old Firehouse that hasn’t been in use for decades.  Then we went to Stanton Park and looped down by the Capitol and around to Union Station – phew!  It was a chilly evening, but Melissa & Mitch were great sports for all of it and I hope they had as much fun as I did!

Melissa & Mitch brought their absolutely adorable English Bulldog, Lola, along for the outdoor portion.  She was such a ham, I loved it!

There is this great old firehouse on Maryland Ave near H Street in NE DC.  It hasn’t been in use for decades and it made a great backdrop for these shots.  I hear they’re talking about turning it into condos.  I want to turn it into a studio – I just need to win the lottery first so I can afford to renovate it.

I love this shot by Union Station with the cars whizzing by!

Melissa & Mitch are planning a destination wedding in some sort of paradise – I hope it’s every bit as beautiful as it sounds!
