shelley and dave. what to say about these two? they drove up from Charlottesville for their dc engagement photos and i think it was totally worth it. sure, we rocked out some crazy cool composition shots at the national gallery of art, but as soon as we hit the outdoorsy garden areas i literally could not keep up with them. i can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year .

Seriously dude – this may be my favorite engagement session of any you’ve ever done. The pictures inside the gallery of art are amazing.
I concur with Paul 100%. I wanna go there now and be friends with them. Thanks for this.
wow, some of the best engagement photos i’ve seen yet…from anyone. I especially love images 1, 3, and 4.
i’m really diggin’ the wide variety of images as far as backgrounds and locations go also.
Are you SERIOUS?! These images are just amazing! And I love how you included some that didn’t even contain the subjects just to give a sense of the environment. Great job Sam!!
Back at it again, and better than before. Love this set! Great job man!
Your pics are amazing!!
geeeeeeeze sam, these are unbelievable. you and the couple rocked the hell out of the nat gallery of art. seriously some of your best!!!
Sam you are the king. I love how you experiment with light and compositions. Well done, kind sir.
In love with that first shot! Actually, the whole gallery sequence is killer. Great work.
Lovely, unforced images. Great use of lines and shapes in the composition. Thrilled to have found your work! Cheers, Rik.
So incredibly gorgeous. I especially love the first two silhouette images. Nicely done!

That first shot is mind-blowing. These are all so creative. So inspiring.
Oh Sam. You are just TOO good. Amazing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. OMG these are so awesome!! I adore your use of lighting angles and lines. The technical perfection here is great, but the sense of humor and the easy-going feel make this set stellar. Well done!!
