Julie and Brandon beat out threats of rain to have an elegant but boisterous wedding at Columbia Country Club. These two held a “small” ceremony with their enormous families, then invited all the folks to come have dinner and dancing and plenty of laughs. Plus, there were more cousins than you can shake a stick at. Julie and Brandon:
Two things about this wedding: 1) It was absolutely everything a wedding should be and nothing it shouldn’t – filled with family, tears, great food, good music and love. 2) I asked Olivia to sit on a rock that wasn’t sturdy. She almost fell over and I almost ruined her dress and her response was “thankfully I have strong quads.” That is to say, this intimate, lovely wedding was really a treat to photograph. Plus, look at these two.
Probably five minutes after I arrived at Woodend Nature Sanctuary to help photograph Caroline and David’s wedding with the fabulous Tara Welch, I decided that it was my favorite venue in DC. You’ll see shortly that the guys’ getting-ready room features an entire wall (actually three walls) of taxidermied birds. How weird! How wonderful! And then I met Caroline and David.
