Rachel and Ryan are ENGAGED! A Washington D.C. Session. Dallas Couple's and WeddingPhotographer
Friday, March 25, 2011 at 9:56AM Confession #1: Rachel is my cousin. Confession #2: I mostly wanted to photograph her engagement so that I could assess Ryan, her fiance. Confession #3: Washington D.C. as the backdrop for this photo session made it one of my favorites ever.
It was a bit of a whirlwind session. I flew in that morning, we had lunch and then headed to Old Town Alexandria to start. Cobblestone streets, crisp spring air and American Flags? Yes, please. Add a gorgeous and in-love couple to the mix, and the recipe for great photos turned out just right. We headed to D.C. after that, where the Lincoln Memorial provided a more formal setting. (The reflecting pool had been drained for construction, though, so no amazing shots with the Washington Monument standing regally in the background). And then as we were wrapping up we drove by the grounds to one of the Smithsonian musuems. Spring had erupted inside, so we parked and took some more photos.
It was so good to be with these two. Ryan's mom accompanied us, and I'm so glad we became friends before their September wedding. The whole session was story-telling, romance-celebrating and laughter infused with a little bit of politics thrown in. I can hardly wait to finish the session and am counting down the days to their Cincinnati wedding!
