Cupcakes in Love - Patrick and Liz Engagement Session

So I have a pretty strict no weddings policy. Just not my thing. I love weddings..everything about them. 
I just can't handle the pressure of missing any "once in a lifetime" moments. I would never forgive myself.  
Sadly this policy also restricts me from engagement sessions (which are fun and basically a maternity session sans the bump) because generally you would like to use the same photographer for both 
or it is included in your package. 
Well a wonderful thing happened, Patrick and Liz (Patrick is Ryann's uncle - you can see her latest session here.) hired amazing wedding photographers, who just so happened to shoot Ryann's parent's wedding. They are amazing but not local so Patrick and Liz decided to hire me for some engagement shots.
We had a blast! The weather was AMAZING! And the park they picked in D.C. was incredible. It's called Meridian Hill Park. Such a cool place! People were doing crazy stack on top of each other yoga, playing drums and guitars, reading and relaxing. Plus it offered tons of amazing backdrops. 
Picking my favorites was next to impossible. 
Here are just a few...

Thank you Patrick and Liz for such a special treat. 
Wishing you the happiest of forevers!

LOVE IS SWEET!
