ALEXANDRIA ENGAGEMENT: CYNTHIA & JON

\


























Fall is a great time for outdoor photography. When Fall comes, it always comes with apprehension of the impending winter, but it's still exciting to put on a jacket and step into the most colorful time of the year. I started this session with Cynthia & Jon at a park along the Potomac, just south of Old Town. It was nice but didn't quite have the colors we were looking for so we kept moving down the George Washington Parkway until Fort Hunt Park. Then—Eureka!—the most beautiful red, yellow, and orange trees to use as a backdrop. This couple is super fun and we had a great time making some photos on a perfect afternoon.

WASHINGTON DC WEDDING: ANNE & JD

Anne & JD were married at Columbia Baptist Church in Falls Church and had their reception at the swanky Fairmont Hotel in DC. Before the ceremony, Anne had planned out a few spots for us to take portraits of the bridal party. All of us, including Beki and I, jumped into a giant limo and made stops in front of the Capitol and the carousel on the National Mall. Sharon from Les Classique Events did a great job helping to plan the timing and logistics of the photos and filing for our permit to photograph on the Mall. We also got a ton of great photos right in the courtyard of the Fairmont, with it's tall fountain and garden. Anne & JD were having the time of their lives - loving every minute of this experience. After a cocktail hour and dinner, guests were treated to a photo booth from The Majestic Photobooth Company, dancing to a live band, and some dance moves from JD that had never been seen before and likely will never be seen again. Epic!
