She said YES!

I LOVE surprise proposals and getting to be part of the behind the scenes planning and scheming!  Devon and I plotted out the perfect spot yesterday so we both set with the plan.  The weather could not have been more perfect!  Devon did an amazing job surprising Emily at the National Arboretum amongst the lovely Azalea Garden!  He pretended to be taking a photo from behind, but instead he had a ring!  She has no idea and was completely taken by surprise.  Here is just a sneak peak at some of the gorgeous photos we got today!  More to come!

The top 10 engagement photos of 2015!

It was a wonderful year and one of the many highlights is getting to know my clients during their engagement session! Engagement sessions can be great way to send out save the dates or share your big news, but I view them as something so much more!

This as a time for me to get to know YOU, and YOU to get to know me!   It gets everyone comfortable in front of the camera before the big day!  The last thing you want on your wedding is to feel awkward or insecure about being in front of the camera.  But after the engagement session you'll feel like a pro- you know how I'm going to ask you to interact and pose for the best photos ("what do I do with my arm??"), and you've had a chance to see what you look like in the photos!  ("which is my good side??  oh yeah!")

I can to observe how you guys interact and know how make you look just right and comfortable and at ease on the big day.

And let's face it- we laugh.  a lot!  Because there's no pressure and it's a ton of fun.
