US Library of Congress Engagement: Shaquana + Trystan

12.20.16

For a long time, I have wanted to shoot a session at the Library of Congress. So when  Shaquana and Trystan emailed me and asked what my thoughts were about shooting their session there, it was a no brainer that they were going to be one of my favorite couples!! :)

Engagement sessions are my favorite part of the wedding process! It’s the time that my couples and I get to know one another in a comfortable environment.  No pressure, No timeline, just good ole fun! This is also the prefect time for my couples to see how it feels to be in front of the camera and also to see how I work.

Shaquana, Trystan and I did just that! We had such an amazing time getting to know each other and just plain ole having fun! Their planner Mahalia of Cest Belle Events tagged along and was awesome helping me setup some amazing shots! I can’t wait  to work with her again at Shaquana and Trystan’s fall wedding at Morais VineYard!

Meet Shaquana and Trystan

Shaquana! Trystan! You both were giving me hotness!! Love! Love! Love it all!!The Library of Congress was the perfect back drop for this sultry session!! Perfect! I totally get you!! I love how Shaquana and Trystan incorporated 5 dozen red roses in their session. The dozen roses represented each year they have been together.  By the time they say I do, they would have been together for 6 years!  You two are soo much fun!!! I woke up like this! Feyonce’!!!Yes!!!! “Love is like dancing, you just surrender to the music” -unknown
Can’t you tell I just love Shaquana’s ring!! <3
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Can we just say AMEN to this ring!!!
