Elegant Meets Adorable in These Artsy Engagement Photos

Jessica's from Jacksonville, FL. Scott hails from Boston, MA. The two went to school together in North Carolina and then entered the medical field in Washington DC. The rest? Well, that's history.

"[Jessica's] favorite place in Washington DC is the Library of Congress," photographer Kathleen Hertel said. "She loves it for its sheer beauty, and that it was built to rival the beauty of the architecture in Europe at the time. [Scott] had never been there before, but knew that he wanted to propose to the one person he loved more than anything at the place that she loved."

Kathleen said Scott led Jessica up to the Great Hall — and that's when he popped the big question.

"Of course she said 'yes!'" Kathleen said. "He told her to look up. Surrounding them was their family and close friends cheering and crying tears of joy. They are now getting ready to move back to Florida to get married and start the next chapter of their lives."

Their phenomenal Washington DC engagement session combined a variety of styles: modern, elegant, playful, whimsical, and classic. See the photos ahead!
