hey friends, i'm katelyn

up interstate 95, the dark clouds kept approaching.  The closer I got, the darker they became. It eventually began to down pour and I thought to myself “welp, this isn’t good”. I was almost to DC and there was no way we were canceling! I had been looking forward to meeting this couple since Kristen first emailed me! Brian and Kristen are both Lawyers in DC and will be getting married in LA next June. They wanted their engagement session to really show off their life together in DC and I was honored that they asked me! I pulled up to Union Station and as I frantically searched for an umbrella, I was hoping that there was just an ounce of

my mother’s preparedness in me somewhere!  I’m happy to say that I actually had 4 umbrellas in my trunk! My mom would be proud.  I made it to the front of the station with my all of my lenses and camera body dry and safe. I felt like getting to the station was a huge accomplishment in and of itself! However, it was still down pouring and we had an engagement session to shoot! I explained to Brian and Kristen that they were going to start their session in the hardest situation possible but that it would only get easier from there (way to be encouraging Katelyn!). We started shooting under the archways at Union Station with the rain pouring down right beside us and travelers and tourists walking past. It was loud and hard for them to hear what I was saying but let me tell you…. they ROCKED it. 100% pros. I explained that if they can pose and be relaxed and have fun in a situation like that… the rest of the session would be a piece of cake… and it was.

.

As we walked around the city, changed outfits, talked about their life, their families and their wedding planning, I quickly forgot about how horrifying the weather was when we first started. Kristen and Brian are an incredible couple. Not only are they drop dead gorgeous, they love to go dancing too. Yea, they’re perfect.  I absolutely loved my time with them and I can’t wait to show you their images! Brian and Kristen thank you for being patient, waiting out the storm and for trusting me with your engagement session!!! I wish you the VERY best!!
