When I first met Yash and Aara at the Washington National Cathedral, they told me they were feeling a little nervous about being in front of the camera. But as we started walking the grounds, chatting about life, and sharing a few laughs, that nervous energy disappeared. Before long, it felt like we’d known each other for years.

The National Cathedral is such a stunning spot for a Washington DC engagement session. The soaring stone arches, intricate details, and quiet gardens gave us endless places to explore. Yash and Aara’s natural connection made every corner feel like it was made just for them.

By the time the sun dipped low, they were completely relaxed, lost in the moment and in each other. Those are my favorite sessions—the ones where the location is beautiful, but it’s the couple’s energy that makes the photos unforgettable.
