wedding photographer in DC
Under the watchful gaze of the Jefferson Memorial, with the gentle waters of the Tidal Basin as their witness, Semhar and Sele’s love story unfolded in golden light. As a wedding photographer in DC, there is no greater privilege than capturing the quiet, powerful moments between a couple so deeply connected. This engagement session was a beautiful prelude to their upcoming Habesha wedding in the city this October.
There’s a certain grace that defines Habesha couples—an elegance in their posture, a warmth in their smiles, and a palpable joy that seems to radiate from within. Semhar and Sele embodied this completely. From Sele’s proud, beaming gaze to Semhar’s effortless beauty and radiant smile, their session was a masterclass in timeless love. The iconic DC monuments provided a classic, powerful backdrop, but it was the authentic laughter and tender moments between them that truly made these photographs sing.
We wandered the marble steps as the soft, evening light wrapped around them, creating a glow that matched the one they clearly bring out in each other. These images are more than just portraits; they are the first chapter of their wedding story, a story I am so honored to help tell.
Semhar and Sele, thank you for allowing me to capture your incredible spirit. The anticipation for your Habesha wedding in DC this October is building! I cannot wait to see you again, surrounded by your families, to continue documenting a day that will be as beautiful and full of love as you both are.
