HI, I'M RACHEL!
welcome!

I love when I find people who appreciate the same things about our beautiful city that I do! For Jaime and Zach’s classic National Mall engagement photos, I was excited to highlight the quintessential D.C. sites, as well as the stunning architecture of the memorials.
Jaime and Zach have lived in D.C. for a while and wanted to get that classic D.C. feel in their engagement photos, as well as focus on the pieces that make those landmarks so stunning: the white marble, grandiose structure, the columns. I’d say they found the right photographer, because that is what I love to highlight in my photos!
I have to acknowledge Jaime and Zach because it was absolutely freezing – below freezing – the morning of their classic National Mall engagement photos! I think it was something like 27 degrees and breezy! Thank goodness we had some sunshine, but honestly, the sunshine didn’t make that big of a difference at 27 degrees! They were dedicated to showing off their stylish outfits without their coats (!!) and I think they did a phenomenal job of staying in the moment with each other so they could enjoy the session!
I can tell that these two share a beautiful balance that really shines through in their classic National Mall engagement photos! Zach is gregarious and loves to laugh, and Jaime and steady and loving – it was fun to watch how these two love each other!
Congratulations and best wishes, love birds!
Special shout out to my mentee, Meghan of Meghan Theresa Photography, for helping out at this session!
