Megan and Marisa just LOVE spending time together at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park (also known as the National Zoo) in Washington, D.C., so it was the perfect place for their engagement photo session. These two are also cat moms to two cats with disabilities, so their love for animals goes beyond their zoo membership. The highlight of the photo session was at the otter exhibit when one particularly friendly otter swam right up to the glass to get in some of the photos.
