One Sweet Kiss! {Washington DC Engagement Photography}

I never got the chance to post Grace and Tola’s engagement pictures on the blog but I was looking through some older pictures today and found this sweet slice of life. Had to share this picture of a sweet kiss on a sweetly lit trail somewhere in a photography sweet paradise. Enjoy!

Kyle & Taiese’s Engagement Shoot {Washington DC Engagement Photography}

admin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:58:33 +0000

Taiese lived a couple doors down from Yours Truly in the only girls’ dorm at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her and Kyle’s relationship budded in front of my very eyes and I still can’t believe they are here, years later, engaged. It’s all so surreal. They are perfect for each other and I say this not because they are friends but because they really do complement each other.

From behind my lens I saw how they interacted and blossomed in each other’s presence. You could feel how much they genuinely liked and enjoyed each other’s company, which is a blessing in any relationship. Their love is palpable. I only hope I have been able to sufficiently capture their feelings at this special time. It is my hope that even their grandchildren will look back upon these pictures and see the meaning of true love. Go Terps!

Coming Soon: Kyle and Taiese’s Engagement Shoot

Sometimes it can be challenging to get good shots in harsh sunlight, and that’s just what we faced for Kyle and Taiese’s engagement session: wicked sun and muggy heat. Despite that we found so many lovely places to shoot. I loved this picture because of the warm and cozy light streaming in through the leaves. In this particular shot, the situation is quite dire : ) ”Tai, please marry me before these cars run me over.” But the light was indeed perfect. We’ve got so many amazing photos to share, so stay tuned on the blog.

Grace and Tola, Just-The-Two-of-Us Scenes From the Wedding Album

To create pictures that really capture the personality and vision of the couple, it is sometimes fun to get them away from the hubbub of wedding day to get them to interact with each other and with the photographer. These are a few scenes of just Grace and Tola from their wedding album.

Bridal Beauty Shot

It seems like one shot posts are all I am able to do these days, so if that is all I get, why not make it a stunner…and that’s just what I thought of this portrait of Autumn on her wedding day – she was a beautiful and stunning bride. I love the honeyed softness of this shot and the subtle way her skin glows. Every bride should get a beauty shot if time permits! I will bring wedding pictures sometime soon. Cheers!

Sneak Peak: Grace and Gabriel {Washington DC Engagement Photography}

We set out on this shoot with high hopes for a promised 60 degree weather day, however, when we got on location -a cozy little trail in College Park- it was freezing cold! Despite the frigid temperatures, Grace and Gabriel were resilient and found many things to joke about. Here is a sneak peak of their engagement shoot. This picture is heartwarming to me because when I first met Grace, she told me how much she loved Gabriel’s laugh and this shot says it all…

To fall in love with Autumn {Washington DC Engagement Photography}

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:36:43 +0000

So, its not that I don’t believe in black and white shots, I love them, but this Fall engagement shoot made it so difficult for me to choose any black and white shots for the blog. I love love loved every single image and could not resist presenting this post to you in beautiful riotous fresh color. I’m not going to rhapsodize about the beautiful magical light but yes the amazingly fabulous and warm lighting is every reason why more people should get engaged in the fall. This couple is not only beautiful for my pictures but soothing for the spirit. The bride-to-be, also called Autumn, is a talented violinist and when she played I wanted to put down my camera and just lie by the lake and lose myself in the sweeping streams of violin. Hope you guys enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them. Congratulations to Autumn and Suleman (who fell in love with Autumn!)

Snapshots from a Spring LoveStyle Session

A LoveStyle™ shoot is a Judah Avenue mini photo session just for those who are not quite engaged but still want some romantic shots together. This shoot was flirty, whimsical and loads of fun to shoot. Special thanks to these two who were totally game for a few shots on a pretty but hot spring day…can’t complain though, the flowers came all out for us. Keep posted for more pictures.
