I don’t suffer from triskaidekaphobia, but when Sarah and Jake asked me to photograph their engagement session in Washington, DC on Friday, the 13th, I did wonder for a moment just how it might go. As it turned, it was a fine day and a wonderful engagement session…some would even say we were very lucky. In a city always brimming with tourists, we often felt like we had Washington, DC all to ourselves.
We met on a bright cold afternoon near The National Mall in Washington, DC, to create their engagement ‘story’ and to capture some of the flavor of this beautiful city. With driving winds creating wind chill temperatures in the teens, we made the move indoors. Those who know me won’t be surprised that the setting we chose included some great interior architecture in one of Washington’s best known galleries. As the sun faded, we moved outdoors for a quick series at The Lincoln Memorial. In the end, we had a lot of fun, pink cheeks and some great images of this delightful couple. Congratulations to Jake and Sarah, who will tie the knot in Delaware this fall!!
Please enjoy a few of my favorite images from my engagement session in Washington, DC with Jake and Sarah.
