Alissa and Sam had one of the most unique Lincoln Memorial engagement sessions to date — and that’s saying something, as I shoot here multiple times per month in the warmer season! On the morning of their sunrise session, Washington, DC was experiencing a freak haze storm due to a wildfire that originated all the way in […]

Meg and Paul were married at the Columbia Country Club, just outside of Washington, DC on a perfect summer day earlier this June. Neither is a fan of the heat, so they planned all their festivities indoors to the delight of their guests. But it turned out to be of those spring-feeling June days where […]
