Welcome, baby Jackson! It feels like it was just last week that we did Ellen and Joel's maternity session. Congratulations to this sweet family.
10 Person Wedding
Congratulations to Kaitlyn and Matt! These two had an intimate ceremony on Saturday with just their immediate families. They are eager for a bigger celebration (at a TBD date) but for now they are over the moon to be married.
Newborn Session
You might recognize these two from their recent maternity session with us, or their wedding that we captured! Well, their beautiful baby girl is now here, and, she must really like me because the kind soul slept peacefully during the entire session!
Surprise NYE Proposal
New year, new fiancé We loved capturing this NYE surprise proposal in Reston! It was crazy dark, some passersby were concerned why two people with cameras were hiding near a random bridge, and there was a threat of rain.. but in the end, everything came together. Happy New Year, everyone!
Puppy Engagement
We are pretty obsessed with Brooklyn, Laura & Justin’s young and energetic doodle! We had such a great time with these two, well, THREE, in Old Town Alexandria. It was quite cold and windy but the photos made it all worth it. These two will be having a small backyard wedding next April in DC!
Georgetown Maternity Session
We love how last week’s maternity session didn’t really look like December! Golden sun and even some green, lush colors along the canal. We had such a great time with these two.
Corgis and Newborns
This week was just the cutest newborn session. When corgis are involved, things are always cuter! Welcome to the world, baby Chloe.
Maternity Session for 2019 Clients
We are so happy for our 2019 wedding clients celebrating this NEW milestone. Congratulations to Patrick and Sofie and their baby girl due in January!
Last Wedding of 2020
Our last wedding of the year did not disappoint! We had great Fall weather, a wonderful team of vendors, and most of all, just such an amazing couple. Emily and Matt were so much fun to work with and truly treated their entire team of vendors with so much care. We are so happy to have ended this wedding season on such a good note after the crazy year it’s been!
Whitehall Estate Wedding
Congratulations to this sweet couple, Kelly & Paul. What a beautiful Fall wedding on Saturday with them at Whitehall Estate in Bluemont!! Hard to believe we are wrapping up our 2020 wedding season soon.
Arts Club of Washington Wedding
Rain and cold on your wedding day? No problem! What a fun wedding at the Arts Club of Washington on Sunday. We've known Iv & Ali for a while since we did Iv's twin's wedding a few years ago (which was also full of the same fun Bulgarian traditions). Impressive facts: Ali works in a retirement home devoting care to seniors, and Iv is currently working on the vaccine. Now..see if you can spot some DC pigeons photobombing in a couple shots!
Tranquility Farm Wedding
Congratulations to Kelsey and Michael!! We absolutely love working at Tranquility Farms in Purcellville. What a magical day to capture. This was one of several weddings we had last weekend, and each one was so special.
Small Winery Wedding
Another beautiful intimate Fall wedding last Saturday .. are you guys seeing a trend? A lot of our couples are choosing to get married this year, and celebrate with a larger crowd next year. Melissa and Patrick's small ceremony ended with an outdoor dinner amongst the grapevines at Morais Vineyard - add candlelight, plentiful local wine, and a warm breeze and talk about a perfect evening!
Reston VA Wedding
Awesome time celebrating with these two last weekend This Fall season has been so much fun so far and we've been blessed with the best clients, weather, and memories! Often times we get overwhelmed with workload during the busy season but we wouldn't trade it for anything.
DC Sunrise Engagement
Nothing like a DC sunrise on a perfect Fall morning! This was my second time working with Susie and Jimmy, the first was last month at their backyard civil ceremony. Then next year is their big celebration :) I love how their first outfit was super elegant, then their next was less formal but still very classy.
Middleburg Wedding
Hope & Moon These two are bubbly, hilarious, welcoming souls and we are so happy we met them. We felt more like guests at their small wedding on Saturday and we're not complaining. We love what we do!
Intimate Wedding Ceremony
Patty & Darryl got married over the weekend in Paris, Virginia with just 6 special guests. The weather could not have been more perfect! One bright side to this crazy year is that our client relationships are prolonged - come next year during their bigger wedding, these two will have worked with Compass Studios during three separate years.
Bluemont Engagement Session
Bluemont, Virginia is truly a beautiful place. Such a great time with the stunning Savannah and Jacob last week doing their engagement photos. Don't their outfits give you all the Fall vibes? We are so excited for their wedding next year!
Family of Four
So much fun at Friday's family session. I can't get over the cuteness of these two brothers!
Private Civil Ceremony
Everyone is adapting these days. One trend we are seeing is many brides having their small wedding this year and then saving their bigger celebration for next year. We think this is a fantastic idea. Sunday featured a small backyard civil ceremony with Susie and Jimmy. They only had three other family members there and it was such a special moment to witness. We are really looking forward to their larger wedding next year as well!
