A Shoreham Omni Hotel Wedding | DC Wedding Photographer

  • Joe + Blythe

The winter months are unpredictable. In January in DC, there could be snow, it could be 20 degrees or it could be 50 degrees and perfect. We enjoyed the second option on Saturday. The sun was out we had beautiful light for Joe and Blythe’s wedding day! It’s amazing how many winter days are grey and dreary. I’ve been so blessed recently to have been shooting on the BEST days of winter thus far!!! Both of my wedding this weekend were filled with gorgeous afternoon light that was just soft enough to get a beautiful glow! Joe and Blythe have had a crazy year of planning. They have been engaged for quite some time but had to wait to see  what Joe’s plan were with his work.

The New House

  • Master Bedroom Inspiration

house is really just a pile of dirt right now.  Actually, it’s not even a pile yet… it’s just a lot of land.  That’s it. We haven’t broken ground and yet every time we are in the car, I tell Michael “Lets go see the house!”.  What?! Katelyn, there is no HOUSE yet. What I mean by that is…. lets go drive to the neighborhood….just for fun! …. And we do…. and it’s fun. It’s fun because we’re just so excited for this new phase of life!!  Never EVER would I have dreamed of building a house at 25 but with the market being like it is… it’s a great time and we’re so blessed to have this dream become a reality!!

Becoming a Husband/Wife Team

  • A Big Change

is such a strange and exciting post to write. It’s exciting because there are HUGE changes happening for KJP… but it’s also strange because 3 years ago, I never saw this coming….ever.  Michael worked full time at CNU while I was finishing my senior year and running the business. We were engaged and Michael was looking for a job in youth ministry because he loves ministry and he loves working with teenagers. We were connected with Gayton Baptist Church and we immediately fell in LOVE with the staff, the kids, the location, the people, etc. We love this place and we are so lucky to have found a church home so quickly!!
