• Helping love win – one wedding at a time.

    We are Andrea & Renata, a pair of best friends who strive to create fresh images and fun experiences for the people who invite us into their stories.

    We met our freshman year of high school and our friendship has grown over the past 13 years, 5 of those photographing weddings together. Though we've had our work featured by Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Washingtonian Bride & Groom, and Baltimore Bride to name a few, our proudest accomplishments are becoming real life friends with many of our brides, maintaining happy marriages and raising 5 (really cute) kids collectively...all at the same time.

    Over the past 5 years, we have come to realize that our first love is not photography. It's love. We throw ourselves into our work because photography allows us to communicate love tangibly. Through our pictures, we strive to share love and tell its story. We are the people who believe that love can actually change the world. We have committed our lives to love. We want to tell people about it. Photography enables us to do so.

    Feel free to use the blog below and menu bar above and to the left to find out more about us, see our work and say hello! Thanks for joining us in this little adventure we are so blessed to be on. We love what we do and would be honored to be a small part of your story!

Shelley & Brian : Arlington Day After Session

Shelley & Brian met at a happy hour with mutual friends and Brian invited her on a group outing in which no one else could make it, conveniently.:)It was love. They wed in an intimate ceremony recently and wanted some photos to commemorate the occasion. We had a great time photographing them in their Arlington neighborhood.

Lovely!

My favorite!

Shelley & Brian, congratulations on your life together! We hope the next month goes by quickly for you! All our best!

Jen & Evan : Southern Maryland Engagement

Even after our original park location ended up being closed, Jen & Evan rocked their relocated engagement session in beautiful light! They’re getting married this summer at The Hall in Huntingtown and the property behind the hall was perfect for their photos.

Old barn, great find!

We made them lay down in the grass – thanks for being good sports, guys:)

Definitely my favorite:

Jen & Evan, we love you guys and are so excited for your marriage journey to start! Congrats!

Tara - oh. these are gorgeous.

Amy & Josh : Old Town Alexandria Engagement

What do you get when you add high school sweethearts + an Old Town backdrop + golden sun + a killer yellow dress? A perfect engagement session! 2013 is being so good to us!

Amy & Josh attended their senior prom with each other and have been together ever since. They’re planning a destination wedding later this year and we had the opportunity to photograph their engagement session in Old Town Alexandria this week.

Amy, you are stunning.

We got lucky and found this gorgeous hanging foliage, which smelled wonderful, too!

Old Town and it’s cobblestone, mm hmm.

Amy & Josh, you guys were so fun! Thanks for letting us capture this time in your life. All our best!

April Motran - Amy and Josh look absolutely beautiful. They are 2 of my best friends and I couldn’t be happier

Kim - Wow! What a gorgeous girl! Love her hair and outfits!

Stephanie & Clif : Georgetown Engagement

From Miami to New York to DC, Stephanie & Clif were absolutely meant to be together! Both of their families from Haiti, they grew up in Miami, almost across the street from each other, without ever meeting. Their moms set them up while they were both in New York and it was love. We were lucky enough to photograph Stephanie & Clif in DC and honestly, they are kind, warm and wonderfully in love.

Stephanie, just stop it. You are beautiful.

During the next two shots, the homeowner walked out his front door, but it didn’t stop Stephanie & Clif!:)

We ended our session at Meridian Hill Park, which was perfect.

Work it, girl.

I’ll end with a photo that’s a little more moody than we typically shoot, but we love it!

Stephanie & Clif, thank you so much for the chance to photograph you! Your love is a gift to the world and you share it beautifully. We wish you all our best!

Stephanie - Omg I’m so in LOVE with these pics (and him of course ;-)

Life is a Dance Floor, Love is the Rhythm

Weddings are a great excuse to dance (and if we’ve shot your wedding, you know that we get out there sometimes, too:))! We’re sharing some of our favorite moments from the dance floor today!

Monica & Kaveh took the time to be close on the packed floor:

Nikki & Brandon‘s sweet first dance:

We won’t lie, we cried during Amy & Brent‘s first dance:

A flash didn’t fire and we lucked out with this shot of Kati & Brian:

17 days until wedding season 2013!
