September was a whirl wind month of weddings, session and some travel! My second destination engagement session was for Megan and Anthony who are currently living in D.C.. There wedding is this July at the Carnegie Music Hall and I can’t wait.

Chris, Julia and even Bo, spend the weekend in D.C. to meet up with them and take their engagement photos at the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden near the National Mall. It was SO SO beautiful. That is what I love about D.C.. I feel like we have been there a few times, since we had friends living in the area for a while, but we had never been to this garden or that portion of the mall. Great trip! Love hotels that are dog friendly too!

Gorgeous October wedding at the George Washington Hotel in Washington, PA. Even with a rainy fall day the wedding was still pure magic. People always get worried about rain on their big day but this wedding is proof that you can’t even tell if you hire a good photographer (like me lol).

Samantha had the ceremony at the hotel as well and the space was amazing! The florals at the alter were so so stunning and the overall feel of the room was elegant and bright. The reception space was opulent with gold, burgundy and cream decor. I even witnessed my first Lion Dance, which is a traditional Chinese dance to wish good fortune to the bride and groom! So cool!

Spent an amazing few days in NYC, part work and part family trip, to meet up with my September 2020 bride and groom- Monica and Jesse! They were living in NYC at the time (now they are in LA, making those career dreams come true!). I feel like I say this a lot because I really do have sweet couples but these two are just outstanding people, so sweet, and quickly became friends not just clients. They were our tour guides for NYC and had some incredible spots in mind for their NYC session.

We met up in a neighborhood called Dumbo, for some awesome graffiti art, which was really unique to include for their engagement session! We ended in Brooklyn Bridge Park with some amazing views of the city, Jane’s carousel, and PIZZA (of course!).
