Susan & Senthil | Comus Inn wedding | Sugarloaf Mountain

Susan and Senthil have had a whirlwind couple of months, and as many weddings. They made it official, Western-style, at their beautiful Comus Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain wedding this month, complete with bridesmaids in orange, a show-stealing ring bearer and plenty of laughs.

We started the day at the Courtyard Marriott Gaithersburg.

Big thanks to Julia for coming out to help with this wedding. She stuck with the boys when they took their bow-tie frustration to the menswear store and did the practical thing: get professional help.

They we all rolled out to the serenely beautiful Comus Inn. It was early April, so the bugs were mostly still hibernating or whatever it is bugs do. It was peaceful and warm enough and generally a really great day to get married.

Liz & Ashwin | National Mall engagement | Washington, DC

Liz and Ashwin grabbed up the last of the magnolias, along with about 5 billion tourists. So after a handful of obligatory flowering tree photos, I took them somewhere a bit more interesting – my old stomping grounds of L’Enfant Plaza. Always fun when my peeps are up for anything. And double fun when they are all giggles like these two.  So looking forward to their wedding in a couple weeks!

Cool scenes, romantic posing.

Tabitha & Jason | Judiciary Square engagement | Washington, DC

Tabitha and Jason are so patient. We must have changed their engagement photo shoot three times, chasing the cherry blossoms. In the end, they were just too damn late (mostly) so we just went with what we had. I think it worked out pretty great, actually.

Clancy came along for the ride. Bonus extra morning walk – score!

And we found some cherry blossoms after all!

A real bonus of getting up super-early for  engagement photos is that the metro is empty and you can play on the escalator without annoying half the city.
