The Engagement of Shannon and Matt

Shannon and Matt were a fantastic couple to photograph. They have ties to the D.C. area and wanted their engagement session around the memorials on the Mall. They also wanted to have "Harley" their dog in some of the photos. With Shannon's mother helping by keeping "Harley" in the areas dogs were allowed, we moved from place to place on the windy, chill Mall area and took some really fun photos. After I looked at the take, you'd never know that we had to work with the wind, so Shannon's hair wasn't flying and that "Harley" needed warm-up breaks. Shannon and Matt interacted so naturally, they made it easy to get good photos. And Matt, without a doubt is the best dipper I've seen in a while! They made it out to Pictures in the Pines as well and I was able to be there for their first Christmas together. I loved that! I'm really looking forward to the wedding! 

Harley had to take frequent breaks to warm up. He looks adorable in pink!
