{Engaged} Melissa & Nick

Melissa and Nick are one of those couples that just seem like they were made for each other.  They've traveled and been on amazing adventures together, including living abroad in Prague for a year, but they are also perfectly happy spending a lazy Sunday at home.  I was so happy to finally make our session happen, we kept trying to schedule to coincide with the Cherry Blossoms, but eventually we just decided to go for it peak bloom or not.  Luckily we got a beautiful day for our walk around DC.   















There was a corner of the FDR memorial with one tree in full bloom, and the branches were hanging  down to create a perfect backdrop.




Before deciding to have their wedding in Prague, Melissa and Nick considered hosting it at the Jefferson Memorial, a favorite of theirs.


 What is more DC than a metro ride?  We even managed to get an almost empty train car.





Nick really wanted a Darth Vadar picture, but watch out Nick, it looks like the force is strong with Melissa. 





These lamp posts by the Capitol are almost exactly the same as the motif for their wedding.


We capped off a wonderful morning by walking through Eastern Market, followed by a fantastic brunch at Cava.  Congratulations Melissa and Nick, I know your wedding will absolutely amazing!

{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}
