Katy & Julien | Rockville courthouse wedding
Katy and Julien met in Paris, of all places. They speak French to each other and everything. It's so damn romantic! They took the romance to the Rockville courthouse to tie the knot.
One awesome thing about the Rockville courthouse over DC is that you can shoot throughout the building. In DC you're not allowed to take photos outside the ceremony room, so you miss all the little bits.
I've been seeing peonies everywhere. I've decided I love them. Katy made this bouquet.
They handed out American and French flags to their friends and families.
We had talked about going to Brookside Gardens afterward, but our timing was off a bit. Then we rerouted to Glen Echo Park but got lost on the way. When I went to turn the car around, we pulled into this charming little lock (#8?) and decided to just get out and do portraits here. It super worked.
Past clients of mine will recognize the "drag him along" pose. These two took it to a new comedic level.
And also gave me the goods.
Julien saving Katy and her dress from this incredibly muddy dog. He was a good dog - no jumping at all.
Congratulations, you guys!
Did you know you can get married here? Apparently it's really affordable, but open to the public during the ceremony.
Brothers gotta hug, the too-close-for-comfort version.
Congratulations, you guys!
Emilie made this dress. As in, from scratch. With her hands and a sewing machine.
The William Paca gardens are really beautiful, and they're right in the middle of all the Annapolis action. They feel quite "secret."
They have some goofy relatives! I said "okay, let's do a siblings hug." Emilie says they don't really go in for that much; they're more like this:
After all that talk of rain, it was actually really sunny in the gardens when we were shooting, but our sun ducked behind a cloud juuuust long enough for me to grab one last scene.
Then we scooted over a few blocks to the courthouse to make it official.
Congratulations, you guys!
