Washington, D.C. is easily one of my favorite cities in the world.  For such a busy and crowded city, I’m always amazed by how little I feel hurried when I’m walking through it mid-day.  Also, it has some of the best architecture and public spaces you can find without a flight across the Atlantic.  So, when Jenny called to ask if I’d like to photograph their engagement session there I was thrilled.  From Eastern Market to Adams-Morgan and everything in-between, I could shoot for 2 days straight and not run out of backgrounds and fun things to interact with.  The three of us had a blast and I even found a new angle to the Capitol I’d never quite seen.  Definitely a good day.  Enjoy!

Ahh, spring in Richmond.  The weather is so lovely and predictable that we decided to have two sessions!  Rain throughout our first session kept things inside and to the side quite a bit.  While we still had fun with umbrellas and puddles, we thought it would be best to come back and do a little sunny side-session.  So, a few weeks later we moved from Shockoe Bottom over to the river and the Tredegar Iron Works.  Tommy and Kathleen were such good sports and a bunch of fun to be around.  Can’t wait for your wedding in October, you two!  Enjoy.

The first problem with shooting an engagement session in Manhattan is deciding which places, among the thousands, you should spend your time.  The second problem is when you have a couple as fun as these two it’s hard to not want to take them to all of them.  Leah, Dimitri and I literally spent the day together wandering through the city.  Lunch at Aubergine in Woodside, Queens (great chili, better coffee) kicked things off with stops in Grand Central, Bryant Park, and through the southern stretch of Central Park.  At last, we ended up back across the river with a great nighttime view of Midtown.  Can’t wait to see these two back in Richmond this summer for their wedding celebration.  Enjoy.

Kristen and Travis joined me for a Sunday morning engagement session in downtown Richmond where there’s just no shortage of great places to walk and enjoy the views.  So, the spring weather decided to hold off a little longer than expected, but the sunshine did make an appearance to heat things up a bit.  These two braved the chilly winds and managed to keep warm smiles and laughter flowing while we traveled past the flood wall and through the tobacco lofts of Richmond’s River District.  Enjoy!
