Katie and I talked on the phone about their session and she decided she really wanted it to be in DC! Immediately, I pictured monuments. Most people go for monuments – and they’re great. They usually put off really pretty light and are so iconic. Katie talked about Georgetown and maybe by the Potomac? Well, […]

Although I rarely shoot  rehearsal dinners, I do love the opportunity! I had only had coffee with Hanieh and Peter because, well, they live in Boston and it’s a little hard to get together when you’re that far away from your clients! Upon arriving to the Old Ebbitt Grill, I was thrilled to have an […]

Annamarie’s work has climbed the charts in my “favorites” book. I love her as a friend, woman of God, and a photographer. This weekend I got to second shoot with her at a wedding in Washington DC. Be sure to visit her website to see some photos of Teddy + Emma’s beautiful event. I love […]

Nia and Keith are brother and sister. February 1st this year, they set out on a journey – the weight loss one – to which so many people can relate. They began with a simple goal: Fit into a well tailored peacoat by December 1, 2012. And so, this began. You can click on the […]

This past weekend was so fun. It was MEMORIAL DAY! I love Memorial Day around the district because of one thing. ROLLING THUNDER. Hundreds of thousands of motorcycles rally together at the Pentagon, and then, one by one, roll around the district making as much noise as they can to remind everyone of the sacrifices […]

Where is Marriage Monday, you say? We’re just going to have to have another Marriage Tuesday. Because… Alisandra Photography was featured on United With Love on Friday!!! It was such a sweet surprise and huge honor. This blog posts some of The District’s finest celebrations, and I’m very excited to be featured. Adrienne and David […]

The slide popped up, “Go forth…” And that’s when it sort of clicked. If you’re not familiar with the name, Jasmine Star is a wedding photographer based in Southern California. As she will tell you, she is not the best photographer out there, but hers is a household name among most of us. Last night, I […]

Yesterday I posted all of the getting readies. Phil and Elizabeth were so fun to photograph. The only thing that mattered to them was that by the end of the day, they had better be married. All else was fluff. They said their vows at Dahlgren Chapel on the Georgetown campus [during parent’s weekend!] and […]

I met Cheka and Michael outside the Ronald Reagan Building on the corner of 13th and Penn. I had to follow my google maps and ask a few security guards to point me in the right direction. [I’m so not a city girl.] I knew I’d be looking for a girl in a party dress, […]

They walked up to the Washington Monument early in the evening. David happened to know the guard at the gate through work, and the guard said, “Hey! Do you want to go up?” Who could refuse a private tour of THAT big guy? So up they went. As they got to the top, Adrienne noticed […]
