Now I went to school in New Orleans, folks, so hurricanes are not exactly big news to me. But having a hurricane crash your wedding? And still partying it up like no other? That’s pretty sweet. The unflappable Cassidy DuHon had me out to second shoot Katie and Josh’s rockin’ Hurricane Irene wedding at Nationals Stadium. And even though there were no portraits on home plate or the planned outdoor ceremony, it was still an awesome time. I mean, they got to have their first dance in front of this:
I was going through some stuff from earlier this year trying to update my portfolio, when I came across this image of Erica’s grandmothers I took at Erica and Bruce’s Miracle Valley Vineyard wedding. Not sure how it got left out of the blog post, but you can see it now! These lovely women have been friends since their children married many decades ago.
Nardos and Danny are flying all the way across the Atlantic to have their wedding in Africa! But since they both live here, they wanted to capture their engagement photos in a unique location. Nardos saw my session with Luisa and Mike at the Arlington county fair and wanted to recreate the look but since fair season is over, we had to get a little creative. Glen Echo Park is this crazy old amusement park that has been renovated into an artists’ colony. You can get married there (hello, awesome venue!) and it makes a great backdrop for the right couple. These two totally rocked out the carnival theme.
