Black Tie Engagement Session at Kennedy Center

Black Tie Evening Engagement Session at Kennedy Center and Memorial BridgeFormal Engagement Portraits at Memorial Bridge in DC, Black Tie Evening Engagement Session at Kennedy Center and Memorial Bridge, Sarah Bradshaw Photography

I’m always so thrilled when couples are willing to step outside their comfort zones and get a little creative with their portraits. Matt & Ellen didn’t have a set vision for their engagement session— they just knew they wanted it in the city. And I’d wanted to do an after-sunset session near the Lincoln Memorial for a long time. When I suggested they idea, they jumped at it, and I’m so proud of what we created together.

We started with more casual portraits at the Kennedy Center, and then moved to the Memorial Bridge to capture the Lincoln in the background. These will forever be favorites!

Thanks to this team, for pulling it all together for us:
