When it comes to engagement photos, pick a place that is special to the two of you. Don't have a spot like that in mind? No problem! Don't overthink it. Go with something simple like coffee, a walk or a visit to your favorite bookstore. The less it feels like a photoshoot, the more natural everything becomes.

Talk, move, laugh and forget the camera—that’s where the real connections happens.

Documentary wedding photos are one of the only permanent reminders of how your wedding actually felt.
Take it from a married couple, you wont remember what the chicken tasted like two days later, but even many years from now the pictures will bring a tear to your eye or a smile to your face.

We love, love, love the Smithsonian Gardens as a location for engagement and wedding portraits! No matter what time of year, the setting is absolutely gorgeous. But at the same time, every season offers you a little something different. And perhaps the best part is the Moongate Garden -- a truly unique spot nestled into a corner of the gardens. The reflecting pool there is great for creating one-of-a-kind portraits!

Speaking of cool and creative photo possibilities, very few locations in the DMV offer as many as the National Gallery of Art's East Building. Its modern installations are perfect for giving engagement photos an absolutely unforgettable quality! Our favorite spots include the big blue chicken on the roof, the escalators between the second and third floors, and of course, the trippy Multiverse moving walkway.

Disha and Somu's engagement photoshoot combined these two great locations. We started at the Enid A. Haupt Garden behind the Smithsonian Castle, using the space's lush mid-spring greenery to complement the beauty of the connection between the couple. And then we walked across the National Mall to the NGA, where we created some unique portraits that highlighted the Disha and Somu's fun and playful side.

We are so honored every time our couples express their happiness with the images we create. Hearing kind words like these reminds of why we became wedding photographers -- to give our couples pictures that let them relive their wedding days now and 30 years in the future.

Thank you to every couple that has trusted with their most precious moments!

When we photograph a wedding, we capture not only the moments couple experiences, but also what the people most important to them are doing. We get the parents tearing up during the ceremony, a friend having an emotional moment during the exchange of vows — everything the couple sees and everything that happens when they’re not looking. Because a couple’s wedding isn’t just about the two of them. It’s also about all the people they love and who love them, and the moments they all share on that beautiful day!

Happy National Pet Day! 🐾

We love it when your furry friend is part of your wedding day, be it during the getting ready part, the ceremony or as a cutout on the dance floor!
Sometimes it’s just a few moments—holding them close, a quick cuddle before everything begins, a little piece of home in the middle of it all.
And those photos? They’ll mean even more as time goes on. Because they’re not just part of your story… they are part of your family.

There’s the wedding day you experience… and then there are all the quiet stories unfolding just outside of it.

These are the moments that play out at the margins—the ones you don’t see, but the ones that shape the feeling of your day.

Because every guest you invite carries a piece of your story. And while you’re at the center of it all, your wedding is also happening around you—in a hundred small, beautiful ways you’ll only get to see later when you look at your pictures.

During our cherry blossom mini sessions we suggested a place where they were in full bloom and then let the moments take over. Because we believe that the best photos aren’t created, they happen!

We often hear from couples that they feel "awkward being photographed," and mostly it's because posing is involved. As a married couple ourselves we have been there.

When you choose documentary photography, nothing is forced. We watch how the two of you fit together and take portraits that are an actual reflection of your relationship.
