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!
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!
Heidi and Jason are super mega rad and completely adorable together. They told me they were really nervous about the photo shoot and then as soon as I put them somewhere, they started giggling and hugging and being ridiculously cute. I get the distinct impression this one of those couples people are always rolling their eyes at and secretly jealous of. I'm really excited for their wedding coming up soooooon!
If the Hirshhorn didn't have a rotating exhibit, I might get tired of it. As it is, I freakin' love shooting in this museum.
And because they're awesome, Heidi and Jason indulged me in a little making-like-the.
Basically OCF folks (camera nerd-talk, ignore non-photographers!), I'll never tell! Okay, I totally would and have. I told you they were ridiculously cute together.
It was a cloudy day, but they thinned out for just about 10 minutes so we could grab some beautiful backlighting (more nerdy camera talk - sorry folks!)
And then, to celebrate a successful engagement session - frozen yogurt!
Congratulations you guys! Looking forward to the big day.
