Kelly and Adam rang me juuuuust as I was about to close my DC books forever, and gave me one last great shot at the National Gallery. I’ve been shooting portraits in there for years, so it was nice to photo my last intimate wedding-ish there. We ran by some old favorites, played with some stuff in new locations and then jumped outside for some quickie fall-foliage action. Kelly and Adam:
Shiva and Julien are all about compromise. He loves the big city and she wants wide open spaces. So they’re doing two sets of engagement photos – one here in D.C. and another back home. We’re not much for mountains in this area, but we can rock the big city for sure. The three of us strolled the National Mall in search of architecture, glass and urbanity in all its forms. The Mall, as always, did not disappoint.
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.
