Laura and Craig Dance in the Street
Session Date: September 28, 2008
Location: The Supreme Court, Washington D.C.
Photographer: Loun-Loun
One of the great perks about doing engagement sessions (beyond meeting fun people of course) is the time that I get to spend venturing into parts of the city that I would have otherwise never explored. My friend Corey assisted on the shoot with Laura and Craig and admittedly, at first, we scratched our heads at their unusual choice of selecting the Supreme Court as their location.
As it turns out Laura and Craig are both lawyers! With their wedding taking place next year in Buffalo, NY, they wanted to showcase Washington D.C. as the location of the highest court in the land. I couldn’t resist taking a power lawyers shot. They do look rather powerful don’t they?
Turns out there is an amazing residential area surrounding the Supreme Court. Corey and I were able to use the gorgeous architectural details, like this set of beautiful iron work stairs, to our advantage.
This is another one of my favorite shots from the afternoon. On a whim, I asked if Laura and Craig would be willing to dance in the street. Whizzing traffic aside, they were adventurous sports and we got some great shots with the US Capitol building.
One last favorite shot, there were just too many to choose from during this shoot! As we bid adieu to the afternoon, check out some more shots from Laura and Craig’s engagement session.

Session Date: September 21, 2008
Location: Old Town Alexandria, VA

An afternoon of sweet surprises awaited us in Old Town Alexandria for June and Bryant’s engagement photo session. The couple traveled all the way from New York to capture the essence of DC for their wedding next year. For this special session, I invited along a mutual friend Corey to help second shoot.
June and Bryant really put a lot of thought into their session and surprised us with the Nintendo DSs that they had brought with them. Seems that they enjoy some mean hand to hand electronic combat when they are lucky enough to find time to relax.
Another surprise awaited us just outside the Torpedo Factory when we spotted Food Network star, bakery owner, and local Washington DC celebrity Warren Brown and his fiance walking with their own set of photographers in tow also getting their engagement photos done. Seems that Old Town is just such a popular place to be!
