Karl + Paula: DC Wedding Engagement Photography

Friday, December 9, 2011 Posted in DC Engagement Photography, Engagement Photography, Engagement Portraits

I am always in search of new and interesting places, in the Washington, DC area,  to photograph engagement sessions and location portraits. So when Karl and Paula suggested FT. Washington for their engagement session, I was excited about it. In the all years I have lived in the DC area, I have yet to visit Ft. Washington. It is worth the trip. Tucked away along the Maryland side of the Potomac River, Ft. Washington has a place in the histaory of the Nations’ Capital dating back to 1809. It was the only defense for the Capital City until  the Civil War. For you history buffs, there’s more here Ft. Washington National Park.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. with clear skies, bright sun and cool temperatures. Paula and Karl were just awesome to work with.  Because of that we were able to capture some great images of them on the day. Congratulations to Karl and Paula, who are getting married at The Greenbrier next March!

Now to a few of my favorite photographs from their engagement session.
