Seven Days, Seven Faves – Day 1

I’m super thankful to have photographed a ton of amazing couples throughout the past several years.  Navarro and Britney were easily one of my favorites to shoot.

Bonus: this was also my first photo session in the Washington, D.C., area.

This was one of my favorites not solely because they were so much fun to work with, but this was definitely a lesson in creating something great with what you have.

I’ve always wanted to shoot at a location like Union Station.  Britney and Navarro are also avid travelers, which worked hand in hand with picking Union Station as one of the places to shoot.  The vision for getting the shot was to capture a romantic shot during the sunset hours.  However, two things wiped everything I had out the window:  (1) it was cloudy, and (2) it was late.

Instead of panicking about it, I thought “… ok, bet.” 

Right before we left the lobby, I looked up and noticed the ceiling, which was beautifully designed.  I knew I had to photograph it while I was there.  The result was probably one of my personal favorite engagement photos of the year.  I love utilizing wide-angle photos a lot while shooting couples because it helps with capturing the character of a location as well as the people in it.  I’m also a sucker for black and white images, which fit the bill perfectly for this image and helped with enhancing it more.
