What a perfect morning for an epic Washington, DC engagement session! Yelena and Trever invited me to their big, beautiful backyard this past weekend and it was such a treat to cover so many of their favorite places – the National Gallery of Art, Union Station, the Library of Congress, and the cutest Capitol Hill neighborhood. Coming in super early on a Sunday morning, it felt like we had the entire city to ourselves.

These two met their freshman year of University of Maryland and now they’re getting married next October at Herrington on the Bay! It was such a joy to document this special season for two incredible people – I can’t wait for their wedding next year!

There’s plenty more where that came from:

Looking for a wedding photographer? I’m booking just a few more 2026 weddings and then I’m closing the books! 2027 books are open (crazy!). I’d love to hear from you!
