I have lived in Virginia my entire life, and would you believe that I have never walked through the monuments in DC?? Well last week I had the opportunity to photograph Ryan & Erika at their two favorite monuments, and at the famous cherry blossom trees!
Unfortunately, the snow we had the week before killed about 80% of the blossoms, but we managed to find a few trees to take portraits under!! Of course, two days after their engagement session, the blossoms revived themselves and now the entire Tidal Basin is covered in blooms… Oh well, what can you do? And we definitely made do with the few trees we had!
Since DC is usually crazy busy, we met for a sunrise engagement session! Even though you have to wake up super early, there’s something really special about starting your day out with photographing a sweet couple in love. The sun decided to stay behind the clouds all morning, but we didn’t even need it! The gorgeous monuments and Ryan & Erika’s smiles were even brighter!
Don’t you just love Erika’s shoes??
I love love love this one!
