Susan Solo – VA/DC/MD Photographer

You’re probably going to ask me how I find all of these absolutely goooorgeous couples and I’ll tell you that I’m just super lucky that they find me! Alanna and Brendan met with me this past weekend to capture a little Georgetown flavor in their engagement photos, and I think we did a pretty good job of doing just that! A little fun-fact about Alanna – she’s Adrian’s (of Adrian and Alicia) sister! I am so excited to be photographing both of their weddings this summer. A little fun-fact about Brendan – it’s his birthday this week! Happy birthday, Brendan! Here are a handful of my favorite images:

I have walked past Jack’s Boathouse a few times before, but I had never stopped in. I’m definitely going back sans camera soon to give kayaking a try! This next one captured at the boathouse is my favorite:

So, for those of you familiar with the area, what do you think? Did we do justice to G-town? Thanks Alanna & Brendan for hanging out with me on Sunday! Hope you have fun celebrating this week, and I’ll see you at a couple of weddings this summer!

You’ll get to see more of/hear more about Rachel and Aaron very soon because they are getting married in just a few weeks! Chris and I will be photographing their wedding at the beautiful Rust Manor in Leesburg, but first we met up in Old Town Alexandria for a few engagement pictures. It was super windy and quite a bit chilly, which is odd for this time of year, but we had really warm golden sunlight the whole time. (Please see Exhibit A: pictures by the river, below for examples of that yummy light!) Here are my favorites from the session!

By the way, these next three are my favorites. I love that it looks like Rachel and Aaron have the whole park to themselves, when really there were quite a few people around us.Rachel & Aaron – I’ll see you in a few weeks! I’m so glad we were able to meet up before your wedding even though I know you both have crazy schedules.   Thank you for hanging out with me and for being great sports with the windy day we had!

Sandy and Matt had one of their first dates in the quaint little town of Occoquan (aw!), so we met there last night for some engagement photos. I had never been to Occoquan before and I instantly realized it was such a perfect spot for pictures. The town is so cute, and Sandy and Matt were even cuter! Seriously, they were just super sweet together in front of the camera. Yaaay for a great location + beautiful weather/light + a fun, adorable couple! It happens to be past my bedtime as I’m writing this post, so instead of words I’ll just let you see for yourselves with a peek at a few of my favorite images:
Sandy and Matt – I had so much fun wandering around Occoquan and chatting with/photographing you both! I am so excited about your wedding this summer – I know it’s going to be amazing. See you then!
