Erin & Chris | DC War Memorial and Darlington House wedding | Washington, DC

Erin and Chris had the kind of simple, heartfelt, honest wedding that practical people dream about. They gathered their closest, put them inside the iconic DC War Memorial, got married by a relative, and then treated everyone to a classy dinner at a cute venue. The flowers were blooming. You couldn't ask for better weather. It was a good day to get married. wedding photojournalist amber wilkie (And I just can't resist adding in this personal note. The above image is one of my favorites in a while. I started this whole photography thing with a strong interest in the street. Mostly I use these skills to photograph weddings, and don't actually get to pull in any strictly "street" elements into my work. This wedding was an exception, as we were able to do portraits around town, including the Metro. I am so into this frame with teenagers clapping and congratulating Erin and Chris and they were super good sports about making out in front of all those strangers.)
