HI, I'M RACHEL!
welcome!
micro WEDDINGS
elopements
I get to introduce you to REHP Love Birds, Gretchen and Duncan, via their Arlington rose garden engagement photos! Just days before their wedding!
I met Gretchen at her cousin, Anna’s, wedding last fall. She was a bridesmaid and enjoyed working with me (aww!), so she reached out when it came time to plan her own wedding. Gretchen is a photographer as well, and it’s always such an honor to be chosen to work with a fellow photog.
My other fav connection with this couple is that Duncan is from the area where I grew up! We’re both southern Maryland kids! Gretchen and Duncan live there now with their dog, Maggie. They were in Virginia for other wedding errands, so they decided to make a full day of it and have their Arlington rose garden engagement photos done while here. I’m so glad they chose this location! This place has a special place in my heart and now it has for them as well!
Maybe it’s because Gretchen is a photographer herself, or maybe it’s because these two are so in sync. But Gretchen and Duncan were so fun and easy to take photos of! They were excited capture how much fun they have and the laughter within their relationship. And I think we did just that! I love when I can put two people in a pose and just let them interact naturally. (That is rare! So I take advantage when I get it! haha)
Gretchen and Duncan’s wedding is literally three days from now! I’m excited to finally share some of my fav images from their Arlington rose garden engagement session with you, ahead of their big day. Enjoy! And check back next week to see their wedding post!
