Julie & Brandon | Columbia Country Club wedding | Chevy Chase, Maryland

Julie and Brandon beat out threats of rain to have an elegant but boisterous wedding at Columbia Country Club. These two held a "small" ceremony with their enormous families, then invited all the folks to come have dinner and dancing and plenty of laughs. Plus, there were more cousins than you can shake a stick at. Julie and Brandon: This, folks, is the face of a man who wants to be married. We stole off for a few photos around the grounds, with the repeated admonition not to get in the way of the golfers. Those golfers mean serious business! The kids' table was deserted by mid-meal. I found them in the cool-people area getting into trouble. And here's Jim and Amy! Aren't they cute? I waited by the ice cream sundae station (yeah, you heard right) knowing full well the kids' faces were going to do something like this: You always see high heels kicked off, but I love the addition of tiny shoes here. Congratulations, you guys!
