DC Engagement Portraits | U.S. Botanical Garden Portraits: Natalie and Brian
Most of us donβt fall in love & meet our soulmate in high school, but for Natalie, she met hers in her softball coachβs classroom & it happened to be her coachβs son, Brian. Brian and Natalie have been together for the past 10 years and next spring theyβll be tying the knot in Southern Maryland.
It was such a joy to capture their engagement portraits in DCβs Bartholdi Park where you can see the US Capitol building, where Natalie used to work. Natalieβs love for the city runs deep, especially for the Capitol Building, & she was even the first to purchase prints from my DC Fine Art Print Shop. (Thank you again, Natalie!)
Natalie & Brian, thank you for sharing this season in your lives with me. Itβs been such a joy getting to know you both before your wedding day arrives. The spring canβt come quickly enough! I hope you know that I often think if you guys at lunchtime during the work week because I think itβs so special that you guys work in the same building & are able to have lunch with each other every single day. - Ica

SEE WHAT NATALIE & BRIAN HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ICA IMAGES
βThe Ica Images experience is top notch! Ica has been a pleasure to work with from the very first conversation weβve had with her. She has such an uplifting spirit and you can tell that she is super passionate about not only her work, but also capturing special memories to last forever! She is sweet, fun, caring, and beyond talented! We knew that we would end up with amazing portraits after our engagement session with Ica, but she exceeded our expectations by far! We were blown away when we received our engagement portraits. On top of that, Ica took away all our posing anxiety and made us feel super comfortable during our session. We had so much fun and just felt really at home with her! We couldnβt be happier with our experience thus far and canβt wait to have her capture our big day!β
