<p style="text-align: center;">Hello! If you're reading this, congratulations are probably in order. You're about to embark on a beautiful journey towards marital bliss. And, one of the key stepping stones in this journey is your engagement session. It's no ordinary photoshoot; it's a chance for us to get to know each other, for you to feel comfortable in front of my lens, and for you to express your love story in a unique, personal way. Let's walk through this together so you can step into your engagement session with total confidence and excitement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The first thing on the list is choosing your outfits. It's important to select clothes that speak of your personality, but also take into consideration the location and mood of the shoot. If we're shooting in a park, choose something casual and comfortable. If we're going for a more formal setting, like a grand estate, then dress up a bit. Remember, the focus is on you two and the love you share, so choose outfits that complement each other without matching exactly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Moving onto location, it's all about picking a place that's meaningful to your relationship. Whether it's the caf&eacute; where you had your first date, the park where he proposed, or simply a beautiful location you both adore, the place should resonate with your love story. Locations with a variety of backdrops are always a plus, as they provide diverse settings for different shots.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now, let's talk about posing. This part can seem a bit daunting, but don't worry, I'm here to help. The key is to be natural and be yourselves. Think of this as a date where you get to laugh, talk, hug, and kiss while I capture these organic moments. Of course, I'll guide you through poses that make you look your best, but mostly it's about capturing your genuine interaction.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Remember, this is your love story. Don't hesitate to bring any props like a picnic basket, balloons, or your favorite book if it adds a personal touch to your photos. The same goes for any pets or family members who are integral to your story.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lastly, relax and enjoy the process. This is an exciting time, a celebration of your love. The more relaxed and happy you are, the more it will shine through in the photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I can't wait to meet you, get to know you, and capture your love story in a way that's uniquely you. Until then, happy planning!</p>

Wedding Venue Review: District Winery, Washington DC

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0"><em>Photographing the reception is more than snapping pictures. It's capturing all the romance, energy, and fun on video and photos so you'll always remember.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">You&rsquo;ve spent months planning your wedding, and when the reception finally arrives, it&rsquo;s time to celebrate, laugh, dance, and soak it all in. As your photographers and/or videographers, Tony Marsh Video and Photo will make sure you don&rsquo;t miss a moment. Here&rsquo;s a little peek behind the scenes at what I&rsquo;ll be doing to capture the magic of your night&mdash;and what you can expect from me!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">Before the big day, I&rsquo;ll work with you or your planner to get the full rundown. When&rsquo;s the first dance? The cake cutting? The toasts? I want to be exactly where I need to be at the right moment, without ever having to tap you on the shoulder to ask.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;" data-toc-id="f02e2724-a35c-435c-9b60-2bbd5c0f2a30" data-indent="0">&nbsp;</h3>

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">Reception lighting can be romantic... and challenging. Whether it&rsquo;s twinkly string lights, colorful dance floor lighting, or candlelit tables, I&rsquo;ll bring everything I need to work with it&mdash;not against it. My goal is to keep the mood while making sure your photos still look crisp, beautiful, and full of life.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;" data-toc-id="9d75d13e-2765-4b04-8877-8bcbf59724be" data-indent="0">&nbsp;</h3>

Trust me, you&rsquo;re going to LOVE looking back at these!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;" data-toc-id="adc3aaf7-3d5c-4190-9f4d-ae47c1bee938" data-indent="0">&nbsp;</h3>

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">You&rsquo;ll be pulled in a hundred directions during the reception, and that&rsquo;s okay&mdash;you&rsquo;re supposed to enjoy every second! I&rsquo;ll always have an eye on you, ready to catch the spontaneous smiles, private glances, and those little moments that happen when you think no one&rsquo;s looking.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">When the music kicks up, I&rsquo;m right there with you (camera in hand, of course!). Whether it&rsquo;s your dad&rsquo;s hilarious moves or your best friends belting out &lsquo;Sweet Caroline,&rsquo; I&rsquo;ll be capturing all the energy, joy, and downright fun happening on the dance floor.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;" data-indent="0">I&rsquo;m there to support your celebration, not to disrupt it. I&rsquo;ll stay out of the way, work hand-in-hand with your DJ, planner, and caterer to help make sure everything runs smoothly while capturing every incredible moment.</p>
