Ana and Jon are getting married next year and they’re going to have mariachis. Also, they’re good at coordinating sweater colors. We hit up the colorful, funky Glen Echo Park for their engagement photos and tried to snag the (no, for real this time) very last bit of fall color. Ana and Jon:

I’m going to let you in on a little secret, blog readers. I’d say a good 80% of the people I photograph tell me they are “not photogenic” or that they are awkward, particularly in front of cameras. Dana and Hal told me that. Yes, seriously, these two. I have to say they straight rocked out the fall colors on the National Mall.

Georgetown is a really great place to do engagement sessions. Every time I go, I think, “I need to shoot here more often.” Lyndsey and Chris set me straight with a romp through their old hood, following up on my always-persistent suggestion that we “shoot somewhere meaningful.” Also, don’t you wish you had curly hair?
