Heidi and Jason got married at the funky, retro, jive
Clarendon Ballroom, under moravian stars and with some serious block-rockin' beats. These two put so much work and love into their wedding and it really showed. Plus, they wanted to use our 15-minute pre-ceremony portrait window to do pictures on the metro escalators, which, needless to say, is incredibly rad. Heidi and Jason:
The ladies started the day at the
Westin Arlington Gateway.
The boys were nearby at their apartment. Big thanks to Porter for coming out to help me with this one and hanging with the dudes.
We scooted to Clarendon Ballroom for the first look and all the events.
But not before a little trip to the metro.
Go time.
It was blazingly hot out, so we ran up to the rooftop for just a handful of formal portraits, before setting these two loose on a sea of hugs and congratulations.
The grandmothers. Thank you, Porter.
The wedding party, shunning formal announcements, rolled into the party rockin' to "Boogie Shoes".
Instead of a bouquet toss, Heidi presented her bouquet to her grandparents.
Congratulations, you guys!

The Annapolis Wedding Chapel is this really cute tiny building off a major road with a waiting room and a ceremony room. The ceremony room has some amazing vine sculpture pin-light action going on.
If you look closely, you can see Melissa being nervous.
See? Awesome twisty vine stuff.
Their dog Tiki served as ring-bearer. He did a good job.
The chapel has all these great little spots to do a ceremony in, and the lovely owner let us have free reign of the place for a bit to do some portraits.
Afterward, we scooted to St. Johns College for some scenic images and to go somewhere that wasn't swarming with tourists or folks visiting the Naval Academy.
Congratulations you guys!
Sara had the prettiest hair and the loveliest ethereal veil.
It took a bit of dodging the folks loitering about the benches.
Congratulations you guys!
