ashley & jeremy’s engagement session in DC & VA
So it’s only taken me almost a month to get these finished, but I think it was worth the wait. When Ashley found me on my blog and on facebook, she said wistfully – I love your work, but we’re getting married in St. Lucia so we already have ap hotographer plus I”m in DC. I said, “well, my husband’s family lives near their, and I have a friend in Alexandria, so I bet we could work something out.” So after a few months – all of a sudden, there I was and it all came together!
It was thrilling for me to be able to photograph somewhere other than Erie (although don’t get me wrong there is a lot of beautiful stuff here) Anyway the day was perfect, and we just had such a great time. Ashley & Jeremy you are such a sweet couple and I wish you the best blessings and love as you embark on your new life together in August! Thanks for trusting a photographer from Erie to come out and do this for you!
Ashley is a Starbucks-coffee-aholic, so we made a pit stop (i think her 2nd or 3rd of the day) before we headed to DC. And they were troopers, Jeremy didn’t freak out once even though the traffic was horrendous and it took us about an hour to get into DC!
Ok…now it gets good. We found a beautiful spot chock full of Cherry trees in the Tidal Basin by the Jefferson Memorial and I basically died and went to heaven with the beauty and natural lushness, pinkness, and romance!
I’m going to go ahead and say this is my favorite of the day. Ashley!!!!
Ok, second favorite, below.
And you have to play in the grass
