Kristi & Tom | DC courthouse wedding | Maggiano’s
Kristi and Tom beat my previous record for most people crammed into the ceremony room at the DC courthouse. What can you do when too many people love you? Fortunately, the courthouse marriage people didn't feel the need to enforce their 15-person limit, and these two got their wed on.
After family pictures they had to run, so we did the ultimate-fast version of portraits. The courthouse ain't so bad, amiright?
Then we headed over to Maggiano's for foods and cakes and lots of toasts.
And pause. That is an eight-bit cake. And their invitation says "leveling up"! How frickin' rad.
Maggiano's has some pretty swank ballrooms.
Kristi and Tom kissed every single time their guests clinked the glasses.
Congratulations, guys!

The courthouse was very nice that day. I like this secondary room better - more space, more symmetrical.
The officiant phrased the put-the-ring-on-his-finger bit a little awkwardly, so Danielle ended up having to count his fingers.
Love the moms!
Hard to believe now, but we had a really chilly day a few weeks ago. Danielle and Sam mostly pretended it wasn't cold.
Wedding portraits round one completed, we rolled on up to Woodley Park for some eats and things. Look how Danielle's mom's hat doubles as a necklace! And the double-ear grab.
The next day, we all made it up to Baltimore for Act II: American Visionary Art Museum. I was a last-minute addition but it was supposed to rain on the day we arranged in advance for big-dress portraits, so they had me along to the reception.
I've seen photos with this sign about a billion times. I was glad to finally make my own mark.
But people *should* hang out with this giraffe more.
Those paintings are waaaaay up high, but take up the whole ceiling - very cool.
And then I skedaddled. I have to assume it was a rollicking good time afterwards. Congratulations Danielle and Sam!
Some people are foreheads-together people. These two are and they're really cute about it.
The National Gallery of Art is under all kinds of construction up top and for some reason they removed a bunch of art from the inside, too, and closed off some of the galleries. But now they're putting back some pieces, like these circles. I'm there a lot, so I've noticed the changes over time. I hope they put all the art back soon.
In the meantime, we play with what's left.
A newish take on an old favorite. Either improper flash placement or the burning, unstoppable love between Laura and Jeff - you can take your pick.
Congratulations, guys!
