If you’ve been following along for any amount of time, you know how much I love it when my clients go all out with planning their photo session. Jennifer and Jeff did just that for their formal DC engagement photos!
ICONIC DC
Jennifer is a recent transplant to the DC area by way of Boston, and she was excited to take her and Jeff’s formal DC engagement photos in some iconic spots in the city where they met. They were, of course, looking forward to capturing their love against beautiful DC backgrounds.
What’s more quintessential than the Lincoln Memorial and the view down the mall to the Washington Monument? Um… nothing! haha So we decided to include that as one of their locations. And so we could fit in a second beautiful spot, they decided to do the two hour session and include the Library of Congress. They loved the architecture and especially those gorgeous patina lamp posts. At the time, there was still a fence around the capitol and I was delightfully surprised to notice we could still get a perfect view of the Capitol dome from the LoC.
SUPER DRESSED UP
Jennifer and Jeff were excited to make the most of their formal DC engagement photos by getting super dressed up – woot woot! We’re talking sequins. We’re talking a tuxedo. A white tuxedo jacket. Wowza! And that was just their first outfit! We’re also talking an all black suit. And a red floor length gown with dramatic ruffle sleeves. They both looked stunning and I was more than happy to get to take their pictures!
AND AGAIN!
The best part of Jennifer and Jeff’s formal DC engagement photos? I got to see them again! They hosted an engagement party 4th of July weekend and I got to photograph it! They were surrounded by close family and friends, good music, and some of the best smelling food I have ever encountered. These two’s lives are filled with so much love and it’s been an honor to capture it for them.
