Engagement Session at Washington National Cathedral

Nov 21, 2025

Earlier this summer, I had the joy of capturing Anthony and Ashton’s engagement session at the breathtaking Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The grand architecture and peaceful gardens offered the perfect backdrop for this sweet couple, who share a love that’s both grounded and full of anticipation for what’s ahead. It was a crisp yet balmy morning; one of those days where you can tell the weather is tipping its hat to fall, who is waiting anxiously around the corner to make their debut.

Anthony, a DC-area native, and his fiancé, Ashton, are currently balancing a cross-country relationship while finishing up school. With Anthony currently in New Jersey and Ashton in Michigan, they’re navigating the final stretch of their academic journeys before taking their boards and diving into their first year of residency. Despite the busy season of life, their connection was undeniable during our session. They were both full of laughter, quiet glances, and the kind of ease that only comes from being completely at home with one another.

Later this year, they’ll tie the knot in what’s sure to be a magical winter wedding at a stunning temple just outside of DC — I know they are already counting down the days! Before the big day arrives, we’ll be meeting up once again. This time, we will be capturing some pre-wedding portraits in their wedding day attire at a few of DC’s most iconic monuments. Trust me when I say, you won’t want to miss it.

Anthony and Ashton’s love story is one of dedication and deep joy and it’s been such a privilege to document just the beginning of their journey together. Stay tuned for more soon!
