Washington DC Surprise Proposal | Washington DC Proposal Photographer
Sharing another beautiful Washington DC Surprise Proposal and Engagement Session! I am trying my hardest to remember the name of this gardens in NW DC however I cannot! It was absolutely beautiful surrounded by so many flowers and rose gardens. Sometime when I photograph proposals I hide out paparazzi style unknown to the girlfriend and capture the moment doing a portrait session afterwards. This time we started as a portrait session. Once we reached the main rose garden Andrew popped the question after I had posed them in the perfect location!

Grand Atrium Tyson's Corner Wedding | Washington DC Wedding Photographer
Matt & Saori tied the knot at The Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Annandale, Virginia. It was a pleasure to capture their day! Although the church strictly prohibited flash photography, we were able to capture many gorgeous images of the ceremony. As a professional photographer it is important to know how to capture images in low-light situations like this! Following the ceremony I was thrilled to have lots of time in the timeline to capture amazing portraits in Georgetown along the waterfront and C&O Canal. The reception was at The Grand Atrium in Tyson's Corner. The Grand Atrium features two levels of event space. The cocktail hour was hosted downstairs while the final touches were put on the dinning room above. Once cocktail hour ended guest were escorted upstairs to a buffet dinner followed by open dancing back downstairs on the dance floor.
Georgetown is one of my favorite locations in DC to take couples for portraits!

Washington DC Self Certified Marriage at Sunrise | Washington DC Wedding Photographer
Amazing portraits at the Lincoln Memorial without tourist? No better time to go this at sunrise! George and Tomas chose to have a self-certified marriage in front of DC's best monuments. Washington D.C. along with only a few states allows self certified marriages where you can be legally married without the presence without the presence of a third-party officiant. In addition to DC, Pennslyvania, Colorado and Wisconsin also allow self-certified marriages.
I was so excited to hear that this soon to be married couple was interested in a sunrise session! Without a sunrise session it is extremely difficult to get some of these images we achieved without crowds or tourist around, especially during high peak season like summer. Another advantage is the beautiful light that is available at this time.
We started their portrait session just after sunrise around 5:30am at The Lincoln Memorial. No one was inside the memorial! My favorite shots are from inside the memorial with the silhoutte looking out at the rest of The National Mall.
Early morning champagne toast!

Intimate Tudor Place Wedding | Georgetown Wedding Photographer
Trent & Paul met 25 years prior to their wedding day at a conference in Ohio. For their wedding they wanted an outdoor setting and choose the Tudor Place in Georgetown because of its beautiful colorful outdoor gardens. They also loved the statues of the Whippets in the Tudor Place's Bowling Green Gardens that reminded them of their Italian Greyhounds. The name of the gardens they had their ceremony in is "Bowling Green" which is the name of the college one of the grooms went to. For their intimate ceremony Trent and Paul walked down the isle with a classical guitarist playing in the background. They said “I Do” in front of about 35 of their closest friends and family.
The Tudor Place is a photographers dream! This venue sits on 6 acres of land in Georgetown just down the street from Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. In addition to wedding Tudor Place is also open to the public for tours of the house and the garden areas. As a photographer I was in love with all the beautiful surrounding that I took advantage of for these beautiful portraits!

Supreme Court Landmark Decision | All States Must Allow Same-Sex Marriage |
Today the Supreme Court of The United States ruled in a landmark desicion that ALL states must allow same-sex marriage in the case of Obergefell Vs. Hodges.
"The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State."
Earlier this morning I was in Northwest DC completing a job for one of my corporate clients when I received the news via post after post on social media. I had a hour of spare time and decided to venture over and experience the excitement in this historical moment. As I drove by I could see crowds of people walking over. I parked as soon as I could and joined them.
Upon my arrival I was immersed in the crowd of many supporters, many members of the media and overwhelming emotion. I spotted a couple that had just met up with each other near the courthouse. They were in tears of joy, smiling ear to ear in excitement that they could now marry legally in their home state of Ohio. Many other stories like this were happening all around me.
I am so honored to have witnessed this historical moment and am so excited with what has to come. There is still so much work to be done within the LGBT community for equal rights. My job is the best there is to be capturing beautiful couples in love!
Love Wins.
