[Self-promotional note since Google loves this wedding: I would be thrilled to photograph your courthouse wedding!  You can check out my pricing and FAQ and things right here.  Please don’t hesitate to write if you have any questions! Now, onto this most awesome courthouse wedding…]

I think I might have freaked Emilie out a little bit by how excited I was when she wrote me about her courthouse wedding followed by Segway photo session.  Not gonna lie, this was one of the best wedding days ever.  Emilie and Zack took care of the getting-married bit at the DC courthouse and then we hopped on some segs and rode around the cherry blossoms.  I even got them to hop inside the National Gallery of Art modern wing – I think those might be my favorite images from the day.

This was my first wedding at the DC courthouse.  It’s a nice enough place, even if the ceremony room was pretty cheesy.

Emilie and Zack were trying to play it cool like “oh can we just get our paperwork and go” thing.  Didn’t work at all.

Then it was time for Segways!

Okay and yeah I’m going to post these, too.  My job is cooler than your job, neener-neener.

Oh my GOSH! This is fantastic – love all of it and the photos are freakin’ gorgeous! (Larry’s always said we should do a courthouse wedding, and these photos are a very convincing argument!)
