Laura & Jeff | DC courthouse wedding

Laura and Jeff tied the knot last week at the DC courthouse. When you've been together a billion years, sometimes a giant party doesn't make any sense. But the courthouse - that shiz is legal. Marriage certificate in hand, we wandered on down to the Mall for some portraits in the National Gallery. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.combest-washington-dc-courthouse-wedding-photographers-7 Some people are foreheads-together people. These two are and they're really cute about it. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com The National Gallery of Art is under all kinds of construction up top and for some reason they removed a bunch of art from the inside, too, and closed off some of the galleries. But now they're putting back some pieces, like these circles. I'm there a lot, so I've noticed the changes over time. I hope they put all the art back soon. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com In the meantime, we play with what's left. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com A newish take on an old favorite. Either improper flash placement or the burning, unstoppable love between Laura and Jeff - you can take your pick. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Congratulations, guys!

Eliza & Erick | Georgetown engagement session | Washington, DC

This Spring weather has been rough on scheduling. The worst part is it doesn't even rain when they say it will. Promised but undelivered rain is what got Eliza, Erick and I up way early in Georgetown. It was a Sunday morning and we had the whole place to ourselves - creepy, empty M Street with parking as far as the eye can see. Fortunately, Erick thought my "photo voice" was hi-lar-ious so we had a good old time. I even made them frolic. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com (Yeah! We got up early enough that there weren't any cars parked in front of the flower mural!) © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comGeorgetown-engagement-photos-washington-dc-2 The kayak people were so nice - even opened the gate for us to take photos by the bridge and with the colorful kayaks. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com I have the best clients. Georgetown-engagement-photos-washington-dc-5 Georgetown is really quite alright. Lots of pretty stuff (basically none of which I am showing on the blog today) and then graffiti, underpasses, weird street scenes - it's a great place to shoot.) © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comGeorgetown-engagement-photos-washington-dc-11 I photoshopped a rat trap out of this image. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com You'll see more of these two on the blog in fancier dress later this year. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Congratulations, you guys!

Jodie and Ryan were down for whatever, so we made lots of weird photos. I enjoy that in people who have hired me to photograph their wedding. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com They got hitched at the DC courthouse, then we rolled down to the National Mall for gallivanting, standing in front of art and lots and lots of congratulations from the crowds. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Jodie has the best laugh. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com More fun weird stuff. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com And also really pretty stuff.
