Mia & Chris - Engagement

Mia and Chris were absolute troopers on this 90 degree day in April. But given how much rain we've been having, it was so wonderful to see the sun! We walked and walked (and walked some more!) around the Capitol seeking out fun locations for their engagement session. I can't wait for their wedding this September! They'll be tying the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Alexandria.

Love this shot! Mia and Chris are just so relaxed and comfortable together...you can tell how much they cherish and enjoy one another!

The next two shots are at the fountain where Chris proposed to Mia.

We found this cool garage door as we were walking to Mia's house for a costume change. Love it!

Chris turned to me at one point and said that Mia loves America, so we had to get a shot with the Capitol Building in the background. I was more than happy to oblige...it's so nice to hear someone say how much they love their country!

And after a change of outfits (and a large drink of water!), we set out for some more shots around the area.

This cool ad is painted on the wall not far from Mia's house. We almost walked right by it! I'm so glad we didn't though, because these are some of my favorite images from the session. I love old painted brick!

And some spontaneous fun made it even better!
