A huge thank you to Cassidy DuHon for having me out to assist with Jimin and Teddy's family-filled and boisterous wedding at the Capitol Hill Baptist Church and Capitol Hill Club!
I really liked Capitol Hill Baptist Church. It was pretty big, but they had giant sliding wooden walls (on right) that separated different sections, giving a large church a more humble feel. Plus, there was a great balcony to get in to take all kinds of photos from all kinds of angles.
Plus, I'm a real sucker for broken symmetry, so I loved the backdrop these wooden walls provided.
I loved how Jimin and Teddy incorporated their families into the ceremony. There was a specific point for the parents of each to come up and hug their children. It was a lovely moment.
There was also plenty of singing, with no small amount of audience participation.
Jimin's bridesmaids carried pink and lime green bouquets - what a great color combination!
There were some real characters at this wedding.
Honest Abe was there, looking on with approval.
I really couldn't get enough of these presidential portraits at the Capitol Hill Club. They gave a very regal feel to the sit-down dinner.
And then it was time to dance!
This was the coolest kid I have ever seen. He was absolutely crazy on the dance floor and the crowd couldn't get enough! Check out his rockin' moves!
Congratulations Jimin and Teddy!
Thanks to Cassidy DuHon for bringing me along for Lisa and Scott's classy, fun wedding at Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC!
I have a selfish reason for loving this wedding - it was all within three blocks of Gallery Place and therefore required almost no travel on my part. It totally worked in everyone's favor, though, because we got to take pictures in front of some military "thing" - somewhere between a Humvee and a tank, their ceremony was in a beautiful church right downtown, and then everybody partied it up at the Hotel Monaco!
Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Holy Rosary Church just a few blocks from the Hotel Monaco. When it was over, Lisa and Scott made their exit on a pedicab!
I cannot get enough of Lisa's veil and dress! The whole thing was just darling. And I seriously never say darling.
I love this set. Scott gave a very moving groom speech. Apparently their wedding day was the closest the moon had been to the Earth in something like 20 years. Scott wrapped all this into his story and managed to make his bride laugh and cry.
I got to play photobooth girl for the first time at this wedding. It was fun but exhausting! These kids basically monopolized the whole show.
And then, they danced.
Congratulations Lisa & Scott!
