Sunday in D.C. was a tad sweltering hot at 90+ degrees, especially in the wide open spaces at the National Arboretum. Despite the heat, I had an absolute blast hanging out with Alicsha and Randall. They are seriously fun and totally hilarious. There was bouncing around, there was dancing around, and there was pretty much just non-stop laughing.  Randall  even offered to jump in the fountain near the columns at the National Arboretum, but we figured that would only result in soppy looking pictures after that. Congrats guys! Hope you have an amazing wedding in the D.R.!

There was just tons of laughing in this engagement photo session. And Jalila should totally be on next season for America’s Next Top Model. The two of them have known each other since high school, which is just one of those things that is so rare these days. We did a lot of walking around and managed to find an interesting industrial looking area, which was so unlike the quaint adorable Old Town that we’re all used to.

So I knew that there would be lots of people watching cherry blossoms…but really, I had no idea that it would be so many people from all over the world in DC to look at the trees.  We managed to find Melissa and Peter in the crowds and spent some time in the gardens near the Smithsonian castle and then down near the cherry blossom trees in the tidal basin.  They were so fun and such good sports for walking all over while we tried to capture some great shots!

We got really lucky.  Having heard about bridezillas, and possibly having been a bridezilla (although I’ll deny it to the end if you ask me), I was nervous about shooting an engagement shoot…but, it couldn’t have been easier because Pamela and Steve were wonderful!  We had amazing weather at Glen Echo Park in Maryland.  Glen Echo used to be an amusement part and has since been turned into a regular park, but with lots of restored pieces from the amusement park.  Besides the great location, we got to meet a fantastic couple, totally easy going and fun to work with.  Lotus and I will be shooting their wedding this fall, where they’re having a halloween dress up wedding, and they’ll be going as Aragon and Arwen…and to boot, the wedding will be in a castle!
