Jimin & Teddy: Married! | Capitol Hill Club

A huge thank you to Cassidy DuHon for having me out to assist with Jimin and Teddy's family-filled and boisterous wedding at the Capitol Hill Baptist Church and Capitol Hill Club! Wedding and portrait photographer Amber Wilkie wedding program at the capitol hill baptist church I really liked Capitol Hill Baptist Church.  It was pretty big, but they had giant sliding wooden walls (on right) that separated different sections, giving a large church a more humble feel.  Plus, there was a great balcony to get in to take all kinds of photos from all kinds of angles. wedding ceremony at capitol Hill baptist church minister and bride and groom at capitol hill baptist church Plus, I'm a real sucker for broken symmetry, so I loved the backdrop these wooden walls provided. best man gives speech during church ceremony I loved how Jimin and Teddy incorporated their families into the ceremony.  There was a specific point for the parents of each to come up and hug their children.  It was a lovely moment. bride and groom hug parents of the bride There was also plenty of singing, with no small amount of audience participation. wedding guest sings during the ceremony at capitol Hill baptist exterior and interior of capitol hill baptist church Jimin's bridesmaids carried pink and lime green bouquets - what a great color combination! pink and green bridesmaid bouquet on stone stairs relatives watching on during the formal wedding portraits There were some real characters at this wedding. wedding guests pose for the camera at capitol hill club little boys sort through beer bottles at the reception Honest Abe was there, looking on with approval. bride and abraham lincoln, capitol hill club, washington, dc I really couldn't get enough of these presidential portraits at the Capitol Hill Club.  They gave a very regal feel to the sit-down dinner.   ronald reagan at the republic club of washington dc wedding favors during the dessert reception first dance at capitol hill club cutting the cake at the republican club of washington dc bride and a little boy at the republican club washington dc And then it was time to dance! little girl dancing at the wedding reception kids dancing at the wedding reception flower girl dancing at the capitol hill club flower girl and father dancing at the capitol hill club This was the coolest kid I have ever seen.  He was absolutely crazy on the dance floor and the crowd couldn't get enough!  Check out his rockin' moves! little boy dancing at the capitol hill club four dancing shots from capitol hill club Congratulations Jimin and Teddy!

Lisa & Scott: Married! | Hotel Monaco | Washington DC

Thanks to Cassidy DuHon for bringing me along for Lisa and Scott's classy, fun wedding at Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC! I have a selfish reason for loving this wedding - it was all within three blocks of Gallery Place and therefore required almost no travel on my part.  It totally worked in everyone's favor, though, because we got to take pictures in front of some military "thing" - somewhere between a Humvee and a tank, their ceremony was in a beautiful church right downtown, and then everybody partied it up at the Hotel Monaco! Wedding photographer Amber Wilkie Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Holy Rosary Church just a few blocks from the Hotel Monaco.  When it was over, Lisa and Scott made their exit on a pedicab!
