Anthony and Christopher were married steps from Mr. Jefferson, rocking his big, pretty memorial. Don't get too excited, though - I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to get married on the memorial itself. But if you're quick and hide in a corner and don't bring too many guests, who's to say you're not just huddled about looking happy because founding fathers, etc. etc.? Democracy, Monticello, marriage! Anthony and Christopher:
There was literally one tree with any leaves still on it.
I try to make people do "sexy GQ" but I always end up preferring candid and fun.
Jefferson silently approves.
Congratulations, guys!
Meagan and Joseph came all the way from Alabama to tie the knot in our nation's capital. It was a secret wedding for a few days, so they partied it up that weekend with friends unawares. Very romantic. Also, Meagan really knows how to pick a dress.
The DC Courthouse was the scene for our heroes' big moment.
Then we scooted down to the National Mall for some portrait action. Poor Meagan broke her pinkie toe a little previously, so she had to wear a brace thing.
But we switched it out quickly. My apologies for the stress, pinkie toe!
That dress really did twirl in the most fantastic way.
So, not gonna lie. I take this photo a lot. But it's always different and I don't know why! I think it has something to do with the height of my clients. In any case, I'm really glad it came out so well for Meagan, seeing as it was her one request.
Congratulations, you guys!
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:
Lockhouse #10 is the biggest on the canal, but still plenty cosy.
Marriage accomplished, we romped down to the water and back up the hill for a few portraits before these two whisked away to what I can only imagine was a rockin' good wedding dinner.
Congratulations, guys!
