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!

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!

Meredith & Denis are getting married in July at the beautiful Meadowlark Gardens, so for their engagement shoot, they really wanted something with some city!  Denis (the s is silent and the i sounds like “eee” – just pretend you’re French while you say it – and yes, it does sound really cool, doesn’t it!?!) lives in France (so jealous!) and came all the way over for some wedding planning and picture taking.  We headed out on a really chilly, but sunny afternoon to U St and had a great time!

We started at – yes, believe it – the Love Cafe, where the cupcakes are sooo delicious!  Then, we headed out down the street, braving the cold!

I love the huge colorful murals in the alley near U & 14th St…

Once Meredith & Denis were sufficiently freezing cold, we popped into this cozy little bar called Polly’s for some hot chocolate.  Cici, the owner, was there and was so sweet!  I think we’ll all be going back to Polly’s again sometime soon!

Nothing like some cuddling by the fire…

So, I’m sure that by now you’ve realized exactly what I did after about 5 minutes with them – Denis & Meredith are so cute together!  They laugh and have such a good time – they are some of the most photogenic people ever and are so much fun to spend time around.  It’s pretty clear how much they belong together!

Yes, we ran into traffic for this shot and yes, I nearly got run over by a big truck with a DC parks logo on it.  But, it was definitely worth it!

Congratulations guys!  I hope you had fun and I can’t wait for the wedding!
