A Playful Engagement Session at The Wharf in DC | Casey & Patrick

The Wharf was a great choice since it’s a place they often visit for date nights and scenic walks. Casey and Patrick chose this session location because it was fun, playful and embraces the DC vibes they will also be bringing to their wedding day.

Highlights from the Engagement Session at the Wharf in DC

  • Sunset by the Water: We started the session near the docks, where the soft glow of the setting sun reflected beautifully off the water.
  • Playful Moments: One of my favorite parts of the session was capturing the couple’s fun-loving personalities. Whether they were using the swing on the dock , or dancing in the street, their laughter was contagious and made for some truly joyful photos.
  • Modern Urban Backdrops: The Wharf’s sleek architecture offered a modern contrast to the softer waterfront shots. Casey and Patrick’s playful poses against the colorful walls perfectly captured their dynamic energy.
  • Statement Locations: We ended the session at the Anthem which is a popular DC nightlife location.
