Crystal & Brandon’s Fall Roosevelt Island Engagement Session

One thing I love about photography is the opportunity to meet new people. We met Brandon & Crystal through a fellow fly fishing enthusiast Rob Snowhite earlier this year. Brandon & Crystal love the outdoors. They fly fish, hunt, camp, hike…they pretty much do it all. When we started talking about places to take their engagement photos we wanted to make sure the photos displayed their love for the outdoors. Roosevelt Island in Washington, D.C. provided the perfect combination of nature and urban settings for Brandon & Crystal.

We are looking forward to their wedding next fall, which will be held at Rose River Farm in Syria, VA. Rose River Farm is not just a pretty face — it’s also home to the annual Project Healing Waters/Casting For Recovery 2 Fly events. We had the privilege to photograph of a few of those events in past years at Rose River and can see why Brandon & Crystal chose it as their wedding location.

Kathryn & Javier // National Arboretum Engagement Session, Washington DC

First of all, I cannot believe I’ve lived in DC for almost 9 years and have never been to the National Arboretum. I was so excited when Kathryn and Javier asked me to take their engagement photos there. What a cool place. If you didn’t know these columns are the former columns of the US Capitol (more information on that here). Definitely worth a stop.

Congrats to Kathryn and Javier! Can’t wait for your wedding in October.
