Sultana & Mark | Peirce Mill engagement session | Washington, DC

Sultana and Mark have a secret. It's not that they're getting married. We romped up to Peirce Mill last week for their engagement session and took a spin through Rock Creek and whatever the other creek is that runs into it. Peirce Mill is a great little spot. And no one was there because it was about to rain. The secret is this: they're superheroes.

Kate & Jimmy |intimate wedding photography | Washington, DC

Kate and Jimmy were married in the woods, at the very spot where Jimmy proposed. These brilliant folks actually take advantage of the lockhouses along the C&O Canal, which along with being nice vacation spots, are really lovely places to have a small wedding. They ate BBQ, got dressed up, marched down to a secluded spot by the water and went on and tied the knot. Kate and Jimmy: Rock-Creek-Park-wedding-photography-5 Lockhouse #10 is the biggest on the canal, but still plenty cosy.

Emily & Jon | DC courthouse wedding

Emily and Jon got married during one of our way-too-late freak rainstorms in the (new ceremony room!) DC courthouse. The city made it hard on me that day - crap weather outside and, if you didn't know, the National Gallery of Art's Modern Wing is shutting on down for something like five years, so it's pretty bare in there. I think we made do juuuuuuust fine.
