Juliet & Mike | Montrose Park intimate wedding | Washington, DC
I've known Mike for the better part of a decade, ever since I was renting a tiny room with crappy A/C and very charming housemates in Del Ray. We're all married now and having babies and acting like straight grown-ups! It's been my pleasure to document the nuptials over the years. Juliet and Mike gathered together their families under a big tree in Montrose Park and together with their children said some serious I-Dos.
Juliet and Mike spurned the courthouse in favor of a quiet park, on a just-warm-enough sunny summer day. Tiffany from MarriageDC, with her ever-calm presence, officiated.
Baby M slept through the whole ceremony but woke up right on cue for pictures and adorableness.
Ceremony and portraits a wrap, we scooted to Restaurant Nora so these legally-wed folks could get their eat on.
Congratulations, you guys!
It was just so freakin' hot on Monday, but fortunately there's indoor space at the chapel.
When you've been with someone a long time, you start to make the same facial expressions. (And other things you notice as a people photographer.)
Melissa and Jacob do the best deadpan I've seen yet. I typically have my couples do one or two of these "weird" photos in case they're into that. These two really have great serious faces.
Congratulations, guys!
I met up with them at the 
Ok check the green Converse. I wanted to get married in Converse and my husband vetoed it! Further: I believe I overheard Kiersten say her dress was from ModCloth, so get on that immediately.
Portraits round one accomplished, we hopped in our cars and rolled out to Meadowlark, where lots of people related to Kiersten and Patrick were waiting patiently, cameras ready.
Thumbs-up before processing.
Congratulations you guys!
