we personally think we’re some of the luckiest in the world. for many reasons (here’s looking at you, miss isabella rose!!)… but in regards to where we live and what we do. as washington dc engagement photographers, we’re able to photograph incredible couples in some of the most incredible locations.

though there are so many wonderful backdrops in the district, many of our clients opt for lincoln memorial engagement sessions. and it never, ever gets old!

mary kate and lance are college sweethearts who met at school in indiana. though they’re getting married in indiana later this year, they wanted to pay tribute to mary kate’s hometown when they visited last fall. because of this, they picked downtown d.c. as their backdrop for their session.

these two are so incredibly kind and so clearly in love. we met up at sunrise on a chilly october morning, and you wouldn’t have ever guessed that they had to get up at the crack of dawn! they looked perfect and were so chipper. you couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces if you tried.

mary kate and lance looked absolutely classy in both of their outfits– the first full of d.c. staples and the second giving a nod to the fall season– and were so natural in front of the camera. they were full of laughter, little jokes, and sneaky kisses, which made their session so fun to photograph. they were so natural in front of the camera. so natural!

we spent the morning chatting about their history and wandering the monuments. after college, mary kate started cheering for the indianapolis colts and lance got his feet wet in the business world in indy. they recently moved out west to colorado together and will be wed in a few short months!

congratulations, you two! thanks so much for letting us document part of your story, and enjoy every moment of your wedding!

XO,
anna + mateo
