This Sunday I photographed Allie and Matt in Dupont Circle. Allie is cousins with David and Sarah, one of my very first couples. :) It was a beauuutiful summer evening in D.C. with of people outside walking their dogs or riding their bikes. I love Dupont to an insane degree. It's home to my very favorite Starbucks in the whole world and there's just something about the city branching out from this one circle with a fountain and a park. It's very sweet. Just like Allie and Matt. Take a look.

I asked Allie and Matt what they like to do together in their spare time and they named a few things including going to bookshops and reading together. How sweet is that. Walking back to the park we spotted this adorb. little bookstore and I couldn't resist.

Aaand one big sleepy squeeze to finish us off :)

You guys were great. Thanks for a lovely engagement session!

This past Saturday I had the wonderful pleasure of shooting Mitch and Allie get engaged at the Washington National Cathedral. I tell all my clients "If you start crying, I will cry!" and it's true. I have this thing where I cannot watch somebody cry without crying myself. And I guess the same goes for people when they're bawling because my eyes were stinging and dripping with makeup after watching this engagement.

It all began with an original song composed by Mitch himself that said "everything I needed to say". Um, Mitch, way to go. I think it worked. Hey guys, take note - this is how you propose to a girl!

Let the water works begin. Oh goodness, I love my job.

She said yes. :)

Boo-yeah! Congratulations you two :) Thanks for letting me be a part of such a special moment in your life.
