One of my favorite things about being a D.C. wedding photographer is weddings in the F A L L!! I’m obsessed with the crisp air, the vibrant colors of the leaves, the shorter days and the excitement of upcoming months!

I had the best time helping Abby Jiu photograph this beautiful wedding at DAR (one of my fav D.C. venues by the way!).

Take a look at how sweet Tati and Nick’s first look was, Nick’s reaction was everything I could have asked for and more. His sweet tears when he sees his bride for the first time was utterly priceless and why I will ALWAYS push for a first look!
