Emily & Rick | St. Francis Hall wedding

I’m a big fan of Leo Druker, so I was very happy when he asked me to photograph Emily and Rick’s wedding with him at St. Francis Hall near the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, DC. You can see his post about the wedding here. This was the weekend after I photographed Suee and Tad’s wedding at the same venue, so it was cool to see a completely different wedding (and type of wedding) there. Here are a few of my favorites:

I loved the simple touch of sprigs of lavender on green napkins. It really gave a classy look without being obtrusive or over-the-top. Plus all the kids at the party were running around with them looking really sweet.

Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice Award 2013! (& me ranting, what’s new)

Excited to snag this year’s 2013 Bride’s Choice Award from Wedding Wire. The “award” is based on reviews from your clients, so it’s pretty great to get that recognition. Onnnnnnn the other hand, I was curious so I looked and no fewer than 139 photographers in DC received this year’s awards. So there’s that. (I put this here as a notice to non-experts – that is, my potential clients – that basically everyone gets this award so don’t give it too much weight in your decision who to hire.)
