Jake and Betsy had a beautiful vision for their spring wedding at the beautiful Meridian House- pink, art deco, and ultra chic. This group was incredibly fun and supportive all day long, which is a dream for any bride or groom (and photographer!) With the planning help of Kristen Leigh Weddings, this stunning affair went off without a hitch!

Peep the mix n match dresses of Betsy’s bridesmaids! This is my absolute favorite look on a bridal party and I am firmly Team Mix n Match. Because more is always better, the pink cherry blossom branches of their wedding ceremony space was just incredible and perfect for an April wedding in Washington DC. The colors and elegant moments continue throughout the entire evening with every corner of Meridian House looking warm and dreamy. Scroll to the end to see Betsy’s sparkle mesh after party dress!!

Magnolias at Enid A. Haupt Gardens

To hear them tell the story of how they met is so cute. Leah laughs as she recalls asking the guards at the Capitol Building if there are any good and single guys they know. Matt was one of those good guys and after they met each other… “I just asked him out!” We joked that it was the uniform but Matt won her over pretty quickly with his warmth and easy going personality.

Blagden Alley and Spanish Steps Engagement

Lauren and Cody have a love for fun and color that rivals my own! We had a blast hanging out for their engagement session at Blagden Alley in DC and then moved to the beautiful Spanish Steps where they popped champagne at Mitchell Park. A little bubbly is always a fun idea for an engagement session! I can’t wait for their wedding day!
