I’m really looking forward to Pamela and James’ wedding. They’re having a big bash at their beautiful NW DC home – the kind of event I love to photograph. Good times with good people. Much like their engagement session! They wanted to bring their really very charming boys along for the ride. I’m always telling people how bad I am with kids and how I have no idea what to do with them (this is true, actually, Pamela had to jump in quite a bit to get the desired reaction), but these guys were super super easy to hang out with. And they’re enormously adorable.
Marla and Eric are my very favorite kind of people to photograph. They were down for anything, as I will prove shortly. We take a few “happy couple” shots (how I refer to the smile-at-the-camera-and-look-pretty photos I take mostly for my clients’ mothers) and then we were off! They chose to do their engagement photos at Dumbarton Oaks which, despite being the site of engagement and family sessions every single day, is an incredibly awesome place to both visit and photograph. Every time I visit, there is something new to see.
Heck yeah, it’s getting all New York up in here. Joanna and Michael were my day #2 engagement session in New York awesomeness (day one, of course, was Anastasia & Nick). These two rocked out Prospect Park in Brooklyn and the beautiful Promenade where I got to dork out with Manhattan views. I’m sure all the New York photographers think it’s lame or played-out to shoot there – I don’t care! I was lovin’ the sweet views.
