Sam & Kristin | Classy Georgetown Engagement Photographer

We met at 5:45 a.m. last Wednesday and when I set my alarm for 4 a.m., I then remembered how often I did that last year. Whew! Not sure how I did it but it is always SO worth it! Less crowds, gorgeous lighting, less traffic (well, I like to think so) … we started the day off right with this beautiful engagement! When photographing these two, I thought it was so sweet how they make each other smile and laugh as they joked around. But they also have a sweet and soft spoken side that were beautiful moments to capture between the two. Georgetown was the perfect atmosphere for these two! We ended at the Jefferson Memorial for a different atmosphere and I love seeing the combination of locations put together with the greenery and the clean white backdrop. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Thanks Sam & Kristin for waking up super early to make this session worth it! I had a blast getting to know you two in front of the camera and looking forward to your special day in February! xoxo
