Ambreen+Nader: Washington DC Engagement

As some of you may or may not know, I was born in D.C. and moved out to VA when I was little. But up until we left the city, I'm pretty sure my mother took my two brothers and I to just about every museum, exhibit, playground, ANYTHING under the DC sun to keep us busy. Even though we did eventually leave the city, I would come back fairly often and of course, now I live here. That's twenty two years of my exploring DC. But for whatever reason, I've never been to the National Building Museum. When Ambreen and I were brainstorming locations, she sent an email and mentioned the NBM. I did some googling and my mind was blown!!! Ladies and gents, if you live in the DC area and have never been to this museum, GO THERE. It is gorgeous.

Anyways, when Ambreen told me about the museum, we both knew we had to go there. So that's where we started and it was awwwweesommmmme. Ambreen and Nader tried to tell me they were nervous...PLEASE, you see those shots right?!?? Straight fierce. Seriously they rocked it. From there we met up in G-town, my stomping ground and therefore on of my favorite locals. I've gotten in the nasty habit of tempting clients into "street shots", where we run out in front of traffic for photos. But that's just my clients...they live dangerously. So from there it was off to the Jefferson Memorial for some evening shots and it was le gorgeous.

Ambreen and Nader you guys rocked it! Congrats!!!!



I love the architecture!!!


I freaking love these two...
