This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
Tyler’s work brought him to the East coast where he met Abby. We walked around the streets of the capitol and heard their story, talked about their careers, their wedding plans and how this year has been anything but normal. 2020 is a hard year for wedding planning and an even a harder year for teachers. Abby spends her days pouring into her students and her free time planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. In the midst of such an uncertain and chaotic time, it was such a treat to do this shoot. It was peaceful and beautiful and I hope that Tyler and Abby enjoyed it as much as Michael and I! This was our last shoot of the season and we just kept telling them how wonderful it was to end our crazy year with such a fantastic session and such an incredible couple. We cannot WAIT to see these two again! Enjoy my favorites from this beautiful session at the nation’s capitol! You’re going to love these two just as much as we do!!!
Thanks for reading!

I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
