National Cathedral Washington DC Engagement — Bethany & Isaac

It is officially wedding weekend for Bethany and Isaac.

I am so excited to finally share with y’all a little peek at their engagement session.  Before you ask, the backdrop for this shoot was the National Cathedral Washington DC and made for the most epic space for their engagement session.

Ever since I first chatted with Bethany on the phone, I have been just enamored by her kind and sweet demeanor . After meeting Isaac at their engagement session, I can see how these two are perfect compliments for each other.

They are high school sweethearts, who were introduced by friends when Isaac was in need of a date to the dance. Bethany already knew who he was, and was so excited when he asked.

As they say, it’s all been history from there.

Fast forward to today and we are in the single digits until their wedding celebration is finally here.  When these two are together, they have joy that just exudes and I cannot wait for all that is to come this weekend.

I have a feeling it will be very easy to celebrate them. ;)

But first, I can’t help but share a few of my favorites from their National Cathedral Washington DC garden engagement session.  This epic backdrop seemed so fitting for these two and we had an incredible evening, exploring the grounds together.

I love National Cathedral for sessions, because while it’s obviously beautiful, it’s more than just that.  The space has an elegant simplicity to it, that allows the couple to really shine, instead of being only captivated by the beautiful architecture and grounds.  This session was no exception.  You can’t miss their joy.

So enjoy a peek at some of my favorites from this National Cathedral Washington DC engagement session.  Oh, and Bethany & Issac, I can’t wait see y’all tomorrow! xx

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
