Photographing DC engagements is one of my favorite things! There is NEVER a shortage of gorgeous architecture and beautiful nooks for lovely photos. I really am more and more proud of that city each time I visit. There’s always something new to find, love, and appreciate! Now add in Marissa and Mike….seriously every photographers dream!

When I met Marissa, her mom, Carolyn, and her brother, Nick at my home studio months ago, we bonded over baking and sentimental stories of life and family! She told me about her career as a teacher, her love for travel and baking (speaking straight to my heart right there) and her amazing fiancé Mike who is in his residency at Georgetown. I was SO excited to meet him for the first time at their engagement session last week. I was absolutely thrilled when I saw them on FIRE in front of the camera!!! And a huge thank you goes out to Marissa’s mom, Carolyn who sacrificed an entire evening to drive us from place to place and shared so many wonderful stories with me along the way.

I just love these two so much and the family that I’ve been privileged to meet so far! Can’t wait to meet the rest this summer and to celebrate the most perfect day!!!
