ethel & patrick, engaged!

I met Ethel at a wedding I shot back in mid-October by Dupont Circle. Note to self...finish editing Katie & Christian's wedding BEFORE they head to Mexico. She approached me during the reception, asked for a business card and the rest is history.

This past weekend, I met Ethel & Patrick at their home in Washington DC. We took a casual stroll thru their beautiful neighborhood on a perfect Saturday afternoon...minutes from the Capital Building. Temps were in the 70s. There were a few times that I think my suggestions for locations were met with eyes that said "Really John?"...but I'm hopeful Ethel & Patrick will agree that this session turned out great. They'll never look at back alleys the same way again :)

Thanks so much for inviting me into your home and life. I wish you both the very best!!

Some photos from the day....

Morgan, Joe & Kirsten

The rain held off for Morgan & Joe’s engagement shoot at Bodkin Yacht Club. Joe’s daughter Kirsten brought creative flare…giving me pointers along the way for what scene would work next. I love when I don’t have to think very much :) What a fun loving family. I’m really looking forward to the festivities in August. Some outakes are below….
