Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session I’m so excited to finally share some photos of Tyler and Mayra’s engagement session!

We’d originally planned for their […]

There are very few things that will get me out of bed at 4:30am, except for the incredible couples that I work with and D.C. sunrises. While it might sound crazy, I highly recommend everyone brave the early alarms at least once to see the monuments at dawn. There’s nothing like having a space usually […]

As couples book their wedding date and we start preparing for their engagement session one of the most common questions I get is what should I wear? It can seem like a big decision when these photos show up on everything from save-the-dates to framed on the walls of your home. Today’s blog is all about […]
