Kelly & Adam | Wedding-day portraits | National Gallery of Art | Washington, DC

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 & Mike | Washington DC photo shoot at the Lincoln Memorial with dogs

Kelly and Mike are blowing this joint soon, headed to the great state of Texas. But they love it here (because who wouldn't?) so they wanted to capture a bit of the flavor of the town. Plus, fur babies. So we hit up a tiny local park you've never heard of and also one of the most visited sites in the entire country. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Dogs are fun. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLincoln-memorial-engagement-photos-6 We dropped off our canine pals at home, but stole a few quick snaps on Kelly and Mike's adorable porch. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Lincoln time! (And aside: I normally try to dissuade people from shooting here because of the crowds, but as long as you don't mind a bunch of tourists in your photos, it's actually a really nice place to be - getting on towards sunset. Earlier it's way way bright.) © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLincoln-memorial-engagement-photos-11© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Doing my best to use the scads of people about. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Bon voyage, guys!
