A Timeless Family Portrait Session: Raj and Rajul at the National Cathedral

Every once in a while, we are blessed to reconnect with past clients in ways that deepen our connection to their lives. Raj and Rajul’s family portrait session at the magnificent National Cathedral in Washington, DC, was one of those moments. Having photographed their wedding several years ago, it was a privilege to witness their journey come full circle as they celebrated their growing family in this iconic setting.

Raj and Rajul’s love story has always been one for the books. Their wedding was a breathtaking blend of traditions, family, and emotion, and it remains one of the most memorable events we’ve ever had the honor of capturing. Fast-forward to today, their family has grown, and their bond has only deepened. This session wasn’t just a photoshoot—it was a testament to the legacy they are building with their children and parents by their side.

The National Cathedral provided an awe-inspiring backdrop for this family session. Its soaring arches, intricate stonework, and lush gardens offered the perfect blend of timeless elegance and natural beauty. 

From playful moments with the kids in the gardens to heartfelt interactions with their parents against the cathedral’s grandeur, every scene felt like a painting in motion.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of this session was the inclusion of Raj and Rajul’s parents. Capturing the bond between three generations was both moving and meaningful. The grandparents’ joy as they doted on their grandchildren, the children’s laughter echoing through the cathedral grounds, and the quiet pride in Raj and Rajul’s eyes—all these moments came together to tell a story of love, resilience, and togetherness.

Raj and Rajul’s kids brought an infectious energy to the session! From their giggles to their curious exploration of the cathedral’s gardens, they reminded us why family sessions are so special. These candid moments captured their personalities beautifully—one playful and spirited, the other reflective and observant.

Why Family Portraits Matter

Family portraits are more than just photos; they are heirlooms. They freeze moments in time, capturing relationships and emotions that will be cherished for generations. Seeing Raj and Rajul with their family in a space as grand and historic as the National Cathedral was a poignant reminder of how fleeting time is—and why preserving it matters.
