Union Station | Lincoln Memorial | Wedding | L & A

Looking for the perfect location to get married in the heart of the United States Capital? Union Station is one of the great choices! It is close to many of the Capital’s great sights. 

 Laura & August got married just outside the Union Station, surrounded by breathtaking architecture and magnificent columns Ohh, and the rice toss during the first kiss is an awesome idea! HAHA. I should also mention that the Union Station is also a beautiful place for family portraits. 

 After the ceremony, we headed to the Lincoln Memorial which is a 10 min ride away. Oh, and here is a tip for the parking there: The best spot to find parking near Lincoln Memorial is next to the Lincoln Memorial Beach Volleyball Courts on Parkway Drive NW, right by the Potomac River. All your friends and family can park at the same location and walk a short distance to the Lincoln Memorial.

Lincoln Memorial offers many ways to take breathtaking wedding or engagement pictures. It has an amazing view of the reflection pool as well as the Washington Monument. If you are planning to be there during the evening, I highly recommend staying there till the sunset. At that time, you can capture stunning golden hour pictures. Laura & August were there right before the sunset and we were able to capture pictures with an amazing view behind them.

Lincoln Memorial | Julie + Paul | Engagement Session

Julie & Paul were so happy and full of energy and we had so much fun during the engagement session. The couple said they like architecture more so we decided to go to the Lincoln Memorial which is one of the most beautiful memorials to take pictures in Washington DC. Also, we went to the National Gallery of Art where there are many gorgeous things to see and especially the light tunnel for the more intimate pictures.

Shenandoah National Park | Engagement session | Laura + Augustinas

This amazing session took place in Shenandoah National Park. For the first time, Laura & Augustinas saw these beautiful mountains with changing fall colors. It was a little bit cold, but still their love you can feel everywhere in the pictures. They love nature and adventures, so I can not imagine the better place then Shenandoah National Park. Can you feel it too? Love is just in the air, and I’m having those stomach butterflies too just for having this opportunity to capture two insanely people in love.

Shenandoah National Park

Shenandoah National Park - a beautiful, historic national treasure which is just 75 miles from the Washington, D.C. You can find here a lot of activities and events. There are over 500 miles of hiking (family, twilight, waterfall, dog-friendly) trails along with what many say is the most scenic stretch of the Appalachian Trail.

To enter the National Park there are some fees you need to know: Vehicle - $30, Motorcycle - $25, but if you are planning to visit more than once in a year, I suggest to buy annual pass for - $80, which includes all National Parks in the United States. No need to go just in the Shenandoah National Park, you will be able to go everywhere you want, and you will save a lot of money.

If you are planning an event and you want something unique and to have more nature, Skyland Resort is a perfect venue for weddings, team building retreats, family reunions and other events. The historic Conference Building accommodates up to 100 people.
