Ever have one of those shoots that you schedule and reschedule and reschedule because of weather, scheduling changes, etc.? Everyone has. When Steve & Mary told me that they’d gotten engaged, I was so excited to be asked to be a part of their wedding and their engagement shoot. Sadly I’m already booked for their wedding date, but at least I got to spend some time with them. But when we finally had the engagement shoot we’d scheduled about four times, we made some really wonderful images. And who says rainy days are a problem for outdoor shoots? Just take it inside!
So we moved our Capitol Hill engagement shoot into the Capitol. And I couldn’t be happier with what we got. I brought my girlfriend along to help out and test out a new camera purchase and even got to end up in one of my own shoots. (trust me when I tell you I do everything in my power to remain on only one side of the camera – posting this photo is all for her. Enjoy, darling.)
After a bit of shooting indoors, we decided to take the show back outside and roll the dice with the seemingly-improving weather. And as far as dice-rolling goes, we won! We walked around the Capitol some more and then headed out to Memorial Bridge for a few more classic Washington, DC shots before calling it a day.
Not that these two need any well-wishes, but all the best!!! I can’t remember an engagement shoot where I had to tell a couple to stop kissing. I hope every couple getting married this year is half as in love as you two are.
