I am determined to get these posted before some of these wonderful couples get married! Yes, I’ve been too busy to blog these engagements but August is a great time to revisit earlier summer shoots, right? Here’s some of my favorites and I made my self-imposed deadline…Randi and Mike are getting married in Pa. on Aug. 25. For the rest of the couples, I’m looking forward to shooting their weddings in Sept. + November. And stay tuned for more recent engagements coming next week!
Just a quick few lovely engagement session shots to start of a crazy busy Memorial Day week. Andra and Daniel and I spent a lovely spring afternoon at Dumbarton Oaks and I’m looking forward to their wedding coming up in a few short weeks!
Wedding season is here and since it’s such a pretty time of year in DC there’s always lots of engagement sessions on the schedule. Here’s a few of my favorites from two recent shoots — Kathleen and Chris at the National Cathedral and Katie and Jake at Belle Haven Marina and Old Town Alexandria. I’m looking forward to both couple’s fall weddings! And on a side note–both brides are continuing my ongoing trend from 2011 with an abundance of brides whose names start with the letter K.
Debbie, Paul and I hit a lot of great locations in a small radius of downtown DC for their engagement shoot. We started at the Navy Memorial and luckily just missed the Cherry Blossom parade. We made a pitstop outside the National Portrait Gallery before heading into the Verizon Center. They had their first date there at a Wizards game so we made our way to their seats that night then played around with the Wizards’ logo and some of the jazzy red walls on the concourse level. It always fun for me to shoot in a meaningful location and it was great that Wizards’ owner Ted Leonsis was open to letting us recreate their first day! I’m looking forward to Debbie + Paul’s wedding in October. I won’t be at all surprised if there’s something sports related about their day…
Another perfect day in Old Town Alexandria. OK, it started out cloudy and we searched for any drop of sunlight and then, miraculously the clouds parted! I would love to say I’m looking forward to shooting their wedding but they’re heading to Hawaii for a small destination wedding later this week. Congrats guys, wish I were coming along 🙂
Selina + Dan are an Old Town couple. We started the engagement shoot at the spot they got engaged in Waterfront Park and then wandered through the gorgeous spring sunlight up King St. to Carlyle House gardens. I can’t wait for their Memorial Day weekend wedding in….Old Town!
The engagement shoots are coming fast and furious right now. Thank goodness the weather is cooperating. I had a great time roaming the grounds at Brookside Garden in Wheaton during spring break. If you get a chance to drop by, everything is in glorious bloom there right now. Especially the tulips, my personal favorite. I’m looking forward to Heidi and Brian’s wedding in October…Heidi will be my first kickboxing ballerina bride….that I know of!
Yes, it’s officially engagement season and I got to start my year off in the Big Apple. I had a great time trekking through Central Park with Jen and Ross–the site of their engagement at Bethesda Fountain. Ross surprised Jen with her “real” engagement ring…although I’m pretty sure the people watching thought they were watching a true proposal. We finished the shoot with the couple skipping through the park (!) and I particularly love the spontaneity of the wide kiss shot as people walked by on a slightly chilly Sunday afternoon. Can’t wait to see them skipping and dipping in downtown DC at their wedding next month.
For those of you who didn’t get quite enough love on Valentine’s Day here’s some engagement love from my fall/winter engagements. Enjoy!
I know there’s been a lot of blog silence from me this summer. I had a very leisurely mid-July through mid-August and that allowed me to get almost completely caught up. Galleries and albums and blog submissions–oh my! Anyway, I have been horribly remiss in posting any engagement photos shot this summer so here they are. I can’t wait to catch up with all these wonderful couples for their fall weddings. Keep an eye out for more regular postings as my fall season gets underway starting with Maura + Pat’s wedding coming up tomorrow!!
On another not really related note–I’m now tweeting so if you’re on Twitter please follow me @deb_lindsey.
