Washington DC Engagement Photographer - Brandon + Ashley

This engagement session set a lot of records for me, the highest elevation, lowest elevation, longest shooting time, furthest distance traveled for an e-session, and also the most fun I've ever had for an engagement session! Brandon and Ashley wanted to have their session at Skyline Drive, which I figured would offer only a limited variety of photos, so I looked at Google Maps and saw that Luray Caverns was close by, so I suggested we hit a couple locations in the area. We were driving along and spotted a run down theme park (with gift shop) called "Dinosaur Land" and couldn't resist stopping by. We navigated the complex garden maze and trekked the mile hike to the bottom of Luray Caverns and back again (remind to never ever decide to haul a backpack full of speedlites on a mile hike underground without an assistant again)! I love these kinds of engagement sessions where a couple can get really comfortable and just be themselves! Can't wait for their wedding next summer!
