Mallory and Aaron got married on the beautiful campus of St. Johns College in Annapolis, with the smallest possible wedding (that can include a photographer). Yet another couple who tells me they are nervous and awkward with pictures but who are ridiculously cuddly and happy and look awesome in photos. Yeah, these two:
Mallory goes to St. Johns, so she already had the place well scoped-out.
Apparently it's bunny season, because these guys were everywhere.
Awwww.
Also, how rad is Mallory's 20s getup? Super-cool feather hairpiece and a rockin' green wedding dress.
There's a really beautiful little dock on a small lake at the back of St. Johns. We politely asked a couple and their dog to let us borrow the pier for a minute. He came back with a cigar for the groom. These Annapolis people are so nice! And their lakes are so pretty.
We were close, so we had to make it on down to the docks.
And the rowhouses.
Finally, in my constant quest to give each couple a little bit of "weird" photos in their set, with some cajoling they stepped a few feet outside the store so we could snag this incredibly awesome weirdest-shot-yet. Aaron is a good sport.
Congratulations you guys!
Okay, seriously, Becca and Joe. They tied the knot at the DC courthouse last week and they were more enthused than I am about anything, ever. They have the best energy.
They've got friends and family all over, so their two-person wedding party had to hold a bunch of phones so they could Skype in some extra love and support.
I mean, I photograph people getting married on a more-than-once-a-week basis, but I think Becca may be the most pumped ever.
After the courthouse, we Ubered it on up to the Capitol for some "hey we're in Washington DC" photos. And ducked into some not-so-obvious spots as well.
After wardrobe checks, we hustled on down to the National Gallery of Art, my go-to location for indoor portraits. The giggles continued.
New takes on old favorites?
Congratulations Becca and Joe!
Heather and Gary got married on a day that should have been uncharacteristically warm for winter, but was instead blustery and frigid. But Heather stuck with it in her awesome bright pink dress and we shuffled off to the National Gallery of Art for portraits after their ceremony at the DC War Memorial. These two are so sweet to each other - it was really cool to document their wedding.
They hired one of my favorite officiants in DC - Sue Mosher. She always does a great job and tailors each ceremony to the couple's believes and history.
Love this candid frame.
"We got married, yeah!"
We were well done with being outside, so we shuffled to the National Gallery of Art for some quirky portraits.
And today I learned how to make a gif in Photoshop!
Revising old favorites. This is such a great hallway.
Congratulations Heather and Gary!
