There are always bucket list locations for photographers. Working out of Washington D.C., I assure you the list is never ending. I’d had the opportunity to work at the National Cathedral gardens for a maternity session and I was so excited to return for Breann and Newel’s bridal images before their wedding day. While my wedding packages include a portrait session, not everyone falls back on an engagement session. Knocking out portraits before the wedding day opens up the timeline so much and there’s no pressure, no rush to move the most important images along to meet a schedule. For us, the only time constraint was the sun and guys… this light!
Trevor & Stacey - Washington DC Temple Wedding
Trevor and Stacey were an absolute joy to work with, from start to finish. They were one of those couples that after the wedding was over, I was so sad our time together was over. Their Temple wedding just outside of Washington D.C. was absolutely beautiful. Today I am sharing some of my most favorite images from their wedding gallery!

Brody Anderson Brewer
He's here! Brody Anderson Brewer was born August 1, 2012 - a week early, thanks to a little help from Chipotle =) I'm ecstatic to add to my family and so grateful he made it to us safely! I forgot how much fun it is to have a snugly little baby to myself, instead of just spending a few hours with them on location at a newborn session. I'll be taking the next few weeks off to spend time with family and enjoy this little guy.
Thank you to all my clients for being so patient and understanding during my pregnancy and during my maternity leave!

Jason & Emily, April 27, 2012
This past weekend I had the great privilege of photographing Jason and Emily as they exited the Washington, DC LDS Temple. It was a bit unusual, seeing as how I'd never had an opportunity to meet the couple prior to documenting their special day! Both students out West and with families from Pennsylvania and Connecticut, there just wasn't ever a time for us to get together. However, I immediately felt welcomed into their big day by their family, friends, and the warm personality of this couple. I loved getting to know them better and their story.
For example, did you know you can get a custom made wedding gown on Etsy? Also, photographing a photography student (aka someone who knows their stuff) is a bit nerve wracking! In the end, that only worked to my advantage as Emily knew exactly how to work in front of the camera, given what I can imagine is extensive work behind it! I love it when a couple seems to forget I am there and I catch a real moment.
Here are just a few of my favorite shots from their afternoon at the Temple! Right now they're probably soaking up the sun and solitude in Mexico =) Wish them all the best, and congrats again you guys!!
