It was a Monday night. It was late and her fuzzy slippers warmed her feet as she lounged on the couch…he fidgeted nervously in his Lazy Boy, wondering if she would understand why he made the book…so their kids would know what life was like at this moment.
She was looking at through the book and thinking how out of character it was for him to create something like it, it seemed so random. Questions filled the pages — what types of music did they listen to, what things did they like to do together…pages with places for photographs of them…spaces for notes about their past, present…and wait…their future?
Her eyes flashed with irritation as she looked up at him and reminded him…what future? For two years there has been nothing concrete…not the wedding she wanted to plan, not the ring she craved to wear, not the proposal she longed to say yes to…it was about that moment that her eyes caught the light of a bright, shiny, verrrrryyyy large diamond ring, connected to a hand and as her eyes traveled up to his face, the look of love in his eyes as he said the words, “Will you marry me?” made the wait quite worth it.
Watch the slideshow and see the ring. See the eyes. See the love.

He whispered softly in her ear. Her smile lit up the room as she giggled quietly at John’s joke. She looked up at him and he stared down into her big brown eyes. The shared moment between the two could only spell one thing…love.
Do you think there’s only one perfect person out there for each of us? I don’t have the answer but after John and Sara’s engagement session, I think I might have an idea.
It’s so interesting to see how a couple translates to images. As we were looking over the images from their shoot, what we noticed first was Sara’s sparkling smile. Sara practically glowed every time John looked at her and you can tell in every photograph. John seemed to light up every time Sara looked at him. It was very plain to see that what Sara and John have is something special. Something different. Something that many people search for their entire lives. Something that Sara and John have found.
So IS there a perfect person for everyone? I’m not gonna give the answer away . . . but check out Sara and John’s Sneak Peek/Montage Engagement Slideshow to see for yourself.

The best family photographer you can find to be your family photographer is one near Loudoun VA.
There had been other men who smiled at her but there hadn’t been a smile like this one. When their eyes met, his feet began to move of their own accord in her direction. The twinkle in her eye matched the smile on his lips and soon that smile turned into hello and the start of something indescribably wonderful.
You see, sometimes in life you are fortunate enough to come across people in your life that are so special, so unique that they walk into your life and it’s like they’ve been there all along . . . and you don’t know how they weren’t there before. It may sound a little corny, but Nikki and Mike are those type of people.
Nikki is just one of those people that never meets a stranger, easy-going, fun-loving, all around awesome woman. It’s not hard to see why Mike fell in love with her.
Not only as a individuals, but as a couple, Nikki and Mike have been so incredibly kind to us. And not just a couple who hired Ever After Portraits to document their wedding. As humans . . . as people . . . from one person to another. I really can’t say enough good things about them. I’m completely blown away by their kind and caring nature not only for other people, but for each other.
I have to say that, as your wedding photographers, and as your friends, I’m so happy you two have found each other. And that we are able to be a part of your lives — from something as small as helping you pick which outfit to wear, to one of the most important days of your lives . . . your wedding day. Thank you for choosing us.

This professional photographer family in Northern VA is a good example of what a professional photographer can do.
Washington, DC is one of our favorite locations for engagement, wedding and Day After Sessions with our brides and grooms because each session is always new and exciting. We LOVE to spend time with our kewl clients, so as part of our wedding photography collections, you not only hire two wedding photographers, who specialize in wedding photojournalism or capturing the emotion of the moment, you are hiring wedding photojournalist who LOVE to get their clients in front of their cameras — and what better location than in DC?
So, has anyone ever seen “The Lion King?” If you have, you probably remember a song that went something like this . . . “Hakuna Matata! It means no worries for the rest of your days. It’s our problem freeeee philosophyyy . . . Hakuna Matata” You’re probably wondering right about now, what in the world is this woman talking about?!? I have a point, I promise.
It was towards the end of the shoot that we started getting to know a little more about Tim and Rebecca and how they got to know each other. And the story went a little like this . . .
Rebecca caught Tim’s eye in the school library where they were both studying to become attorneys. By the way, congratulations to BOTH of them for recently passing the bar exam — one of the hardest tests in the WORLD! Yeah, I know, our clients are so awesome. Anyways, I digress. Acquaintances became friends became so much more after Tim got Rebecca’s phone number…and before she even knew it! As Tim put it, he gradually got the digits to her number — you see, Rebecca never gave her number out . . . but she gave it to Tim!
Then there was the snow storm. Usually this would be a bad thing, but for Tim and Rebecca, it was just another chance to get to know each other a little better.
One memorable date involved walking and singing…a longgg walk home to her place in Arlington. Like the sweetheart that he is, Tim wanted to make sure Rebecca was safe…and when she started singing “Hakuna Matata”, Tim realized this was the girl for him. We think it’s the perfect match — now that they have each other, they will have no worries for the rest of their days. (It’s a problem free philosophy)
Tim and Rebecca were just the cutest couple! In the short time that we’ve gotten to know them and learn a little about their relationship, it was always clear that they deeply love and respect each other. We can’t wait to photograph your wedding!
Hakuna Matata and enjoy the slideshow…

“Internalize” Megan says, “That’s what we’re constantly telling each other — just keep it inside.” As soon as the words fell from Megan’s lips we were in love. Mindy and I both think that’s one of the reasons we clicked so well with Megan and Larry. We both also have a hard time “internalizing” ourselves! But that only says a little bit about the awesome couple we got to photograph . . .
Megan is just this gorgeous woman, inside and out. In between getting Larry to ‘behave’ and kicking the soccer ball around with Isis, Larry’s extraordinarily mature 8 year old daughter, we managed to get some great shots of them all together. We immediately saw what Larry saw when they had their first date to see an Irish Band at a pub.
Larry had us laughing the entire day! I have to tell this story, because this to us seemed exactly like how Megan and Larry usually are — their essence. So we’re standing in front of the ‘Adventure Theatre’ and Mindy and I are just shooting away and I say, “If You Give A Pig A Pancake” which yes, seemed very random, but I was actually quoting the poster that was hanging behind the glass windows of the theatre. Everyone stopped. Larry gave me this look as to say, have you gone mad? He then looked at Megan who started laughing. Then we all busted out laughing . . . and couldn’t stop for the rest of the afternoon.
We also had the privilege of photographing Isis, that I mentioned before is extremely mature. We were all giggling so much that during the shoot Isis turned to me and said, “How old are you?” It was hilarious! She guessed right about my age — and no, I’m not going to tell you how old I am. She hung right in there with us and we felt that she completed the shoot, just like we could so clearly see how she completed Megan and Larry.
To Megan and Larry — you guys are going to have so much fun throughout your lives. Thanks for allowing us to capture even just a little bit of you three. We hope you like the slideshow we did for you!
