C&O Canal x2, part 1

Session Date: May 24, 2008
Location: Georgetown, DC
Photographer: Loun-Loun

Over the beautiful holiday weekend, Grace and I had two photoshoots back to back in one afternoon. We had a couple of eager brides who had both happened to decide just a few weeks before the big day that an engagement session with the “Girls” would be just the right touch to add a little sparkle to their wedding day!

Our first couple, Joan and Ben were so easy to work with despite their frustrations with trying to find parking in crowded Georgetown on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon. This was my first shoot along the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal, so I was excited to see what I could, well, see! I’ve posted one of my favorite photos from J&B’s shoot which features quite prominently one of the aqueducts, now bridges, that the canal is known for.

Did I mention that it was a gorgeous sunny day? Had to post this one too since I just loved the light play so much. The effect is fantastic, sunny washed out, romantic and Joan looks pretty happy about it too.

Alright, one last “favorite” from the bunch. I’ve been playing around with some Photoshop actions and decided to try a few to enhance this photo. The original doesn’t nearly this dramatic, but I really love the cool, faded look that I’ve achieved. It’s a different style of romantic lighting.

Enough about what I liked, which ones do you like? More yummy photos of J&B only a click away!
