Estelle & Jesse’s Anniversary session at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC was too dreamy for words so we are ecstatic that we have photos to show you all exactly what we mean! These two contacted us back in January to photograph their 5 year wedding anniversary in Washington DC. We originally planned to have their session at the end of March when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom but then of course Covid-19 happened and literally every where was shutdown and DC (especially around the monuments) was a ghost town. We were all pretty bummed but made plans to still have these photos taken on July 3rd, 2020.
Fast forward to July 3rd, we wake up very early around 7am to photograph these two during sunrise. Grant it we missed sunrise (lol) but we were still determined to have an amazing shoot nonetheless. This would be our first session since things started opening back up so were nervous as to how busy the monuments will be (although we location scouted the day before and there were very few people at the Lincoln memorial), and how the interaction/vibe of the session will be overall as we figured we wont be able to hug, shake hands, and be as hands-on as we normally are with our sessions. To cut a long story short when we finally met with Estelle and Jesse their warm smiles and greetings put our nerves at ease and the warm, fun-loving, dreamy tone was set for the rest of their shoot.
After being away from photographing for so many months we are so glad these two were the first people we photographed because they got our creative juices flowing again and helped us fall in love again with photography! <3
