October Engagement Session in Washington DC
Engagement sessions are a fun way to get used to being in front of the camera, get to know your wedding photographer, and have fun capturing loving memories!
Last week I spent a beautiful autumn afternoon with Bao & Alex down at the National Mall. We started at the Lincoln Memorial and ended up at the Tidal Basin. My Classic Engagement Session allows enough time for multiple locations and an outfit change. Most couples choose one casual outfit and one more formal outfit for each location, so they come away with a variety of photos to use on save the dates, wedding announcements, their guest book, and wedding website.
How They Met
Bao and Alex met on Hinge during the pandemic. Alex said, “at some point I realized that if I could spend the rest of my life with her it would be such a blessing and I'd be the luckiest guy ever.” Alex says, “Bao is one of the most caring people I've ever met, and she's got a great sense of humor. She has a balance of knowing when to take life seriously and when to let loose and just have fun”
Their Love Story
Bao knew she wanted to spend her life with Alex once she realized how easy and effortless it was to be with him. “He integrated into my life so easily and gets along so well with my family and friends.”
“Everything in life is better with Bao. She's always got my back, knows how to lift me up when I'm down, and enjoys the ride when life is high.”
“I love that Alex is incredibly thoughtful and caring. And he can always make me laugh!”
How He Proposed
On Bao’s birthday, they went to a nice restaurant they’d been wanting to try. Alex planned the event far in advance. He coordinated with the restaurant - he would propose after they brought out a birthday cake. They all sang for her and Alex got down on one knee afterwards – she was definitely surprised!
