September 10, 2025

Ramsey & Nate’s Engagement Session in D.C.

A love story rooted in home, captured in the heart of the city

Some couples are just meant to be — and Ramsey and Nate are one of them. They grew up together in the Clifton, Virginia area, but it wasn’t until years later that friendship turned into something more. Their story feels grounded, organic, and so full of heart — the kind of love that feels like home. So when they chose to have their engagement session in Washington, D.C., it was a natural fit. Elegant, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful — just like them.

Scroll through some favorites from Ramsey and Nate’s D.C. engagement session below


From Childhood Friends to Forever

Ramsey and Nate got engaged this past April, surrounded by blooming florals and family members who flew in to witness the moment. They’re planning their wedding for next year at Ramsey’s grandparents’ farm in Virginia, with lots of wide open space and a peaceful pond in the center. The farm is more than just a venue; it’s part of their family legacy. It’s going to be full of light, love, and personal details — just like their engagement session!


A Calm, Joyful Energy

When we met in D.C. for their engagement session, we walked through some of the city’s most iconic spots — from the steps of the Jefferson Memorial to a field near the Lincoln Memorial. But what stood out most wasn’t the location — it was the way they were with each other.

These two are so beautiful. They go with the flow. And that energy made the entire session feel so natural and relaxed. It’s always my goal to create a calm and comfortable environment for my couples — and with Ramsey and Nate, that happened effortlessly.

There’s a kind of quiet confidence in their connection. No big performances. Just a deep sense of knowing and a shared excitement for what’s to come.


A Clean, Bright, Organic Feel

Ramsey is drawn to light, clean, and white-toned imagery — and that aesthetic aligned beautifully with the golden sun that wrapped around us all morning. We chased the light as it softened across the city, capturing a mix of classic portraits and spontaneous candids. The result? Timeless images that reflect not only how this moment looked — but how it felt!

These two exude such warmth. You can see it in the way Nate holds her hand, and the way Ramsey lights up with every laugh. Photographing them was less about posing, and more about preserving the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be directed.

Looking Ahead to a Joyful Farm Wedding

Next year, surrounded by their closest friends and family — and fields that hold generations of memories — Ramsey and Nate will say “I do” under the wide Virginia sky. I’m honored to be the one to photograph their day, and I already know it will be a celebration full of meaning, color, and joy.

If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel purely you — relaxed, bright, and beautifully timeless — I’d love to hear your story. Whether you’re planning something big or keeping it simple, I’m here to preserve the feeling of it all.
