A Tidal Basin Engagement Session | Beth & Steve

We recently met up with Beth and Steve for their engagement session around the Tidal Basin. They chose to do their session around the Jefferson and FDR memorial’s because this is where they went on their first date. They sat down on one of these stone benches outside of the FDR and talked for a long while. Maybe they even had a first kiss here!

Beth & Steve were so fun to shoot, they are easy going, and they were up for whatever bizarre lighting or posing techniques Jason & I wanted to throw at them. Fun! The best part about this shoot was the nutty weather. We almost had to cancel for rain, but at last minute, everything cleared up. The clouds were insanely cool that day. They were still swarming and thick from the menacing storm while the blue sky and sun were poking out from behind forming this beautiful array of brights and darks, full of textures and color depths. You can never plan on a picturesque sky, but man, we sure lucked out and got one for Beth & Steve’s engagement session!

We can’t wait for the wedding this fall in Annapolis!

Jon Biggs - These photos are extraordinary. How do you get the sky to look so rich? I have seen other blog posts of yours that are so great, and I think that you know how to find the magic in taking photos.
