Maureen & Bobby went to the same middle school and high school, but they never met. It wasn’t until Maureen was a director at the Harris YMCA summer camp and Bobby was a counselor that these two finally met. So, after a summer of hanging out with friends poolside and of course at camp, these two couldn’t stay away from each other. And, as they say, the rest is history.
Now, five years later, M & B are are getting married in June at St. Peter’s and having their reception at the Mint Museum Uptown but they now live in the Washington, D.C. area. After meeting these two, we were already excited about their wedding. But, when we heard they wanted to do their session in D.C., excited was not a strong enough word! You see, when I (Ashley), was in 4th grade I couldn’t wait for the 8th grade field trip to Washington, D.C. From the chartered bus ride, the hotel room with your favorite friends, to the reports they taped the outside of your hotel room door, and all the museums and monuments…well, you get the idea, I was excited! So, wouldn’t you know it, the year I get into 8th grade, they change the curriculum. It was instead Florida studies and the trip was to places around Florida! Um, for a girl that had lived in Florida her whole life, this was not the trip I had dreamed of taking!
Fast forward 16 YEARS LATER, and I finally got my trip to D.C.!! So, like I said, excited wasn’t a strong enough word! Although there were no chartered buses and no one taped the door of our room, it was still everything I imagined and more!
We had such a fun time with Maureen & Bobby…couldn’t have asked for better tour guides! Not to mention they are so sweet and so in love…you’ll see!
We started off the session at the Washington Monument…
Then, we headed over to the National WWII Memorial…
Maureen & Bobby love Georgetown (and now Jere & I do too), so we headed there next…
Who loves ice cream? These two! So, of course it was only fitting that we stop for some…
After the shoot, M & B wanted to take us to one of their favorite spots for dinner and we’re so glad they did! The Lost Dog Cafe has such great pizza, an amazing beer selection, and their foundation finds homes for rescued dogs (and cats). To learn more, check out their website here!
And, while we were there, Jere & I couldn’t resist grabbing a few more shots…
Maureen & Bobby, thank you so much for making this possible! We had an amazing time and cannot wait to see you guys again soon!!
xoxo
