Ani and David got married at the DC courthouse last week with their immediate families and more laughs than you can shake a stick at, not that it's appropriate to be shaking sticks at weddings. After the courthouse, we rolled on down to the National Gallery of Art, one of my favorite spots for portraits in DC. Rock on, friends.
The path to the Capitol goes by that great view on Pennsylvania Ave.
And it affords a spot for a little "street" (shhh, this is a composite).
Congratulations, you guys!
Che and James were married at the DC courthouse last week with a dozen of their most exuberant closest in attendance. Che made her beautiful hair piece and James teared up during the ceremony. Afterward, I took them to my favorite spot for post-courthouse-wedding portraits: the National Gallery of Art. It was a good day.
Frequent visitors to the site are probably tired of seeing this image, but it always makes me happy to make and deliver it. Such a great spot. (Yeah, I have one for you guys that doesn't have tourists in it - don't worry!)
Also, the National Gallery has taken away half of the pieces I normally shoot with... hopefully they're replacing it with something and you'll get to see some new compositions soon. In the meantime, the blank slate where they used to have that big horizontal blue and green piece makes for some beautiful negative space.
I had a fair amount of competition that day.
Congratulations you guys!
Natasha and Aaron made it official at the DC courthouse with their nearest and dearest - including a bunch flown halfway across the world with a little guy on his (first?) super-long plane ride. It was a freak cold day when it should have been beautiful, but we soldiered through and skipped our way down to the National Gallery of Art to keep everybody from freezing. But first, they had some marrying to do.
Natasha and Aaron bought their families different colored Converse to wear while walking around between portrait locations. Adorable!
I've been having fun with these giant portraits at the National Gallery. They're so weird to shoot with.
We braved the cold to trek out to the Navy Memorial on GW (the one with the flying birds) for some more family pictures and to get a bit of the Lincoln in some photos. 'Course, I was feeling the tunnel under the GW.
Congratulations Natasha and Aaron!
