Janine + Ajit engagement

Let’s start with full disclosure. I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. But sometimes, just sometimes, I have to get up early. And I appreciate it that Janine and Ajit made it fun for me. And some cupcakes definitely helped! We started out bright and early in Georgetown along the canal and Cady’s Alley and then strolled down M St. to the Old Stone House. A couple bright sides to getting up early…no problem parking in Gtown, no traffic and my shooting day is done by 10:30! Conveniently I’d parked my car near Georgetown Cupcake which I’d just discovered (very belatedly, I know) a few weeks earlier at Pam + Josh’s engagement shoot and I thought it would be fun to incorporate cupcakes into one of our shots. It turns out that Janine + Ajit were huge cupcake fans and we’re all for it. So we waiting in line for a few minutes before they opened at 10 and then had the bright idea to ask if we could scoot in early to do some shooting. And it only costs them a dozen red velvet cupcakes! A bargain!! I really had a great time shooting and talking and sharing various obsessions (The Wire for example) and I’m hoping Janine + Ajit like the photos as much as I do. I’m really looking forward to their bicultural wedding in July.
