{Engaged} Erika & Jude

Another Saturday and another stunning couple, I am so lucky!  Erika and Jude are one of those couples that are clearly meant to be together.  They actually grew up half a mile from each other, however they never met until they both moved to the DC area.  From that moment on they've been together.  These two are a blast to hang out with and I can easily see why they work together so well.

Jude has some of the bluest eyes I've ever seen, it's no wonder Erika fell for him instantly.

 I think this is one of the sweetest pictures I've ever taken, it's a little preview of growing old together.

When they finally met it happened at a holiday event at the Air and Space Museum, so of course we had to stop by to reminisce.

Congratulations on your engagement Erika & Jude!  

I know your wedding be full of love and happiness!

{Anniversary} Jessica & Mike

Variety was the theme of the morning for Jessica and Mike's 1st anniversary photo shoot, and I think we managed to capture it.  We started the day at the Capitol and outside the National Botanical Gardens, then moved up to Constitution Garden, and finally ended the session at the Georgetown waterfront.

Even after a year of marriage, these two still seem like newly weds who got married last week.  I had so much fun hearing about their wedding and the things they love to do together.

I just love catching the early morning light like this, it has such a romantic feeling. 

Happy anniversary Jessica & Mike!  

And here's to many more happy anniversaries to come!

{Engaged} Esther & Matt

Esther and I went to grad school together, and I was thrilled when she asked if I would do an engagement session for her and Matt this past fall.  They are getting married in Esther's home state, but wanted some pictures to represent the life they have here in DC.  We started at Eastern Market, one of their favorite spots, it was an early morning to beat the crowds but it was worth it.

After walking around Eastern Market we started heading towards the Capitol, finding lots of interesting places to pause along the way.

{Esther and Matt are avid book readers, so this pictures truly captures their personalities}
