Tudor Place is one of my favorite hidden garden gems in DC. While I love the architecture of spots like the Jefferson Memorial, these lush greens are just beautiful. You can find a few garden spots around the District for springtime engagement sessions, so if that’s your vibe, ask your photographer for suggestions!

Any other wedding vendors itching for “off-season” to end? While you’re never really off as a small business owner, we all need a break from time to time. But with the temps in the 70s this week, all I can think of now are sunny wedding days, fresh blooms, and golden hour!

Butter yellow just feels like spring and I love it as a wedding color. It’s sunshiney, warm, and welcoming. There’s a psychology behind colors. When choosing your wedding colors, consider your venue, personal preferences, and the feeling you want to achieve!

To ensure your mom (or the special person helping you into your wedding dress) is photo-ready, consult with your vendors on timing! You both need to have hair and makeup complete, and they should be dressed. Chat with your planner, HMUA team, and photographer to craft your timeline and determine the order of hair and makeup!

Thinking back to hazy monument views and summer in the district. DC is a perfect place for an engagement session all year long, and I love spending early mornings there (as long as I can get to a cute coffee shop after)!

A few reminders as we near the end of February:

Minute by minute, we’re gaining more sunlight each day.
The first day of spring is only about a month away.
The cherry blossoms are coming.

The wintertime can feel oppressive and isolating. If you can, go on a walk, meet up with friends, take a break from your phone. Warmer and brighter days are coming.

When it comes to your wedding decor, don’t forget the personal touches! They can come in the form of a unique guest book, like a rendering of your venue that guests can sign, or a lovingly homemade wedding cake. Handmade details will always be sentimental. I love seeing little details that make me think, “Of course this couple would do this,” because it reflects their personalities as both individuals and as a couple!

Your wedding day can feel like a fairytale. It’s the first page of a new chapter of life together, so spend the day close to each other! Take a moment alone to enjoy the “just married” feeling before you mingle with your guests. Remember this day is about your love story. Everything else is extra.

Romanticizing February with winter engagement sessions in this beautiful city. This year, I want February to feel less like, “It’s STILL winter??” and more like, “Spring is coming.” February is the color pink, rom-coms, and the days slowly getting longer again. These winter engagement sessions bring me so much joy because they remind me that there are so many good things to come in spring.

I’m so glad Flavia and Jose met with me this past chilly, windy weekend in DC for their session! Their wedding at @great.marsh will be my first of 2025, and I can’t wait to see them again (in warmer weather).

“In February there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret.”

Your venue is the backdrop of your wedding photos—make sure you love it! I often ask couples why they chose their venue and what made it “the one.” Your photographer can do a lot, but we can’t change the color of the walls or the print on the carpet. Think about rainy day options, and let that help you inform your choice!

“Can I bring my dog to my engagement session?” Yes! I love it when my couples include their pups. I highly recommend bringing a friend or family member along to hold the leash so that we can take some photos with and without your pet!

The Tidal Basin may look very different this year, but I’m still looking forward to cherry blossom season in DC. If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the iconic blooms, keep in mind that construction around the Tidal Basin is still very heavy. Go early in the morning but still be prepared for crowds. Uber or walk since parking will be very limited. Be respectful of the blossoms (don’t shake the trees or climb) and be aware of other people around you!

Want beautiful ceremony photos? Here are a few tips from your wedding photographer:

1. Wedding party, if you don’t know where to look or feel awkward walking down the aisle, look at the photographer and smile for beautiful processional photos!

2. Make sure your veil is secure (and the veil is the most forgotten item for a wedding ceremony), so that it doesn’t fly away as you process.

3. Keep your bouquet low to avoid obscuring your face as you walk back up the aisle (especially if you do a dip and kiss).

4. As you walk back up the aisle, don’t forget to steal one more kiss! You’ll get a lovely photo with your guests cheering behind you!

Not sure what to ask a wedding photographer during the inquiry process? Here are a few important questions that should be on your list:

1. Can I see full galleries?
If a photographer hasn’t already sent them, ask to see a full gallery or two so that you can get a clear idea of a photographer’s editing style, the types of shots they look for, and how many photos they typically deliver.

2. How do you describe your style/approach?
Wedding photography is a spectrum, from fully candid to fully produced. How hands-on do you want your photographer to be?

3. How do you store our photos?
Ask how photos are stored during the wedding and in the weeks after. Make sure your photographer is shooting on two memory cards simultaneously, and ask how they’ll keep images safe while editing.

Choosing wedding vendors can get overwhelming, but knowing what to ask is the first step! Never be afraid to ask questions—your vendors are here to help 🤍

In a few years, those imperfections won’t compare to the moments spent enjoying a day with the people you love most. Surround yourself with guests who support you and keep the good vibes going, and you’ll have photos that reflect nothing but love.

Happy 2025 🍾 I’m so excited to enter this season with my 2025 couples. I got to meet so many of them during their engagement sessions last year, and now it’s finally their time. I’ll be touching base with my spring couples in the coming days to start ironing out all the details and finalize plans!

In other news, my 2026 calendar is open! To inquire and schedule a call, fill out the contact form on my website.

Cheers to a new year filled with love stories!

Having a fall wedding? This is your sign that fall colors are not mandatory. I love the way this late October wedding at @birkbyhouse leaned into bright pastels. The peachy florals brought some of the changing foliage into the space, and the colors flowed beautifully!

Other bright touches included a cotton candy stand (which made for great centerpieces once the party started)!

Your wedding should be a reflection of the things you love—lean into what inspires you!

DC is a winter wonderland. The Jefferson Memorial has felt like my office this year, but can you blame me for loving it? The way the light hits it in the morning is perfection. A lot of my couples have opted to start there and then work our way to Georgetown for cozier vibes. I love adding a second location to sessions to give more variety!

Let’s talk about “the ring.” Since I became a wedding photographer, I’ve photographed over 60 engagement rings (yes, I counted). We’re right in the middle of engagement season, the time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, and the most popular time of year for proposals. When it comes to the ring, knowing your partner and their preferences is essential. I know some who have been very involved in choosing their ring, and others who were completely surprised. But much like a wedding dress, the ring is always personal. When I see the ring and the person wearing it, and I start to get to know them, it just makes sense. When you’ve gotten to the point of proposing, it’s because you truly know your partner, and I believe that’s why the ring always matches the person.

Let’s talk about “the ring.” Since I became a wedding photographer, I’ve photographed over 60 engagement rings (yes, I counted). We’re right in the middle of engagement season, the time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, and the most popular time of year for proposals. When it comes to the ring, knowing your partner and their preferences is essential. I know some who have been very involved in choosing their ring, and others who were completely surprised. But much like a wedding dress, the ring is always personal. When I see the ring and the person wearing it, and I start to get to know them, it just makes sense. When you’ve gotten to the point of proposing, it’s because you truly know your partner, and I believe that’s why the ring always matches the person.

Ended the coldest week with a cozy engagement session at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! Hannah and Thomas included close family in their session before we explored the gardens. I love a winter engagement session—every season has its own beauty and warmth. I can’t wait to see these two again for their Meadowlark wedding in the spring!
