Derks Works Washington DC Wedding Photography20130511-001

Visiting DC was a wonderful experience and a whirlwind of a weekend. Having never had my “eighth grade trip” or seen the sights of DC, I was thrilled to accompany Benjamin  for the weekend to photograph two amazing couples. We made the most of our 48 hour trip, seeing the statues, tasting amazing food and finding the local treasures of DC. I tried to temper my first time excitement and blend into the city while soaking up the details. However, my over excited tourist heart definitely came out as I was constantly taking and posting pictures (check out my instagram if you don’t believe me). I look forward to visiting DC in the future, to enjoy even more fabulous restaurants, historical land marks and museums. Please enjoy some of our favorite sites and images below!

It was an honor to visit the WWII memorial and remember the brave men and women who fought fearlessly.

Spending time with Jenni + Sumit was absolutely delightful! We not only enjoyed making beautiful images but we also earned an amazing discount on some froyo in the 14th street corridor! See Jenni + Sumit’s engagement post here.

I love watching Benjamin as he works with clients. He is an amazing artist and captures such a beautiful, personal and unique story with each couple.

April, 2013 \\ Washington, DC \\ The more I look at this frame the more I love the variety of experiences it expresses. Some people come to walk around, to congregate, some for exercise, for a place to read, some to pay their respects, some to stand at attention one last time, to remember.

  1. Aunt Sandy

    Absolutely love the photos! You both look so good and so happy – makes me feel happy! Hope every day of your life together makes you feel this good! Love you a lot! AS

    The first and last ones are special! (Not implying that the rest aren’t, just that those stick out to me the most.)

  2. Susie

    Love all of the doors and gates. It’s so symbolic. I can’t wait to meet you at the wedding!

March 23, 2013 \\ Toledo, Ohio

I love my nephews. I have had the privilege of being present for all of their births and I could not be a more proud auntie and sister. (check my twitter & instagram if you don’t believe me).

Nearly one month ago, we all celebrated the birth of my 3rd nephew, Titus Scott Krueger. As I held him for the first time, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy and love for such a special little boy.

“To Titus, my true child in common faith:Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” Titus 1:4

    I am straight-up swooning over these. Particularly that first portrait of Adam and the close-up of just Christine. And the two following the one of just Christine. And the last one. And … all the rest. Good job.

  2. Christine

    I love them so much Benjamin! They are AMAZING! The ones of my cousin Tim and Joel look like they came out of GQ :D lol

Forevermore
