Margaret and John were married in the quiet, pretty courtyard at the Old Town Alexandria courthouse, right in the midst of downtown with its cobblestones and brick and very nice light. We traipsed around a couple of blocks and hit up the sweet cobblestones on Prince Street near the water. And hey – that chalk heart was still there!

Risa and Michael were married at the incredibly charming Arts Club of Washington – which is right downtown and you’ve probably passed it every day on your commute without knowing it’s there. Every time I shoot there, I get to work with new pieces and play with new colors and compositions – art galleries are really great places for wedding (photographers). Their day was calm, joyous and refined. Risa and Michael:

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.
