We’ve had a lot of warm weather this winter, but Kim and Andrew didn’t luck out with nice temperatures for their engagement session. We originally rescheduled due to ice, and the second date we chose happened to be one of the coldest this winter. But we persevered — rosy cheeks, red noses and all — and it was definitely worth it! I’m hoping these two will be rewarded with a beautiful warm fall day for their wedding later this year.

Often when I meet with couples, it comes up in conversation that either one or both aren’t comfortable with having their picture taken. And as someone who stands behind the camera most of the time, I can relate. But this session is proof that regardless of how you feel about having your picture taken, love photographs beautifully every single time!
I am beyond excited for this sweet couple’s wedding later this fall and the chance to photograph them once again. If this is how they pull off casual, can you imagine how amazing they’re going to look in wedding attire?!

For Jessica and Philip’s engagement session, we visited Smith Creek Farm. This is the same place they’ll get married this coming May. And as you can see, this beautiful farm with rustic touches, country fields and waterfront views of the Potomac River makes for a gorgeous backdrop for this sweet couple!
When the night ended, their guests hoisted them high above their shoulders as they danced and sang. Celebrating the couple in this manner is a tradition they’ve shared at each friend’s wedding. Talk about literally being supported by your friends! And even though Tracey was a little nervous about being lifted off the ground, I’m happy to say that no one dropped her or Kurtis. With such support and a wonderful network of loving friends and family, it’s clear that their marriage will be a success.
