Meagan & Joseph | DC courthouse wedding photography | Washington, D.C.

Meagan and Joseph came all the way from Alabama to tie the knot in our nation's capital. It was a secret wedding for a few days, so they partied it up that weekend with friends unawares. Very romantic. Also, Meagan really knows how to pick a dress. Dc-courthouse-wedding-photographer-15 The DC Courthouse was the scene for our heroes' big moment.

Poor Meagan broke her pinkie toe a little previously, so she had to wear a brace thing. Dc-courthouse-wedding-photographer-9 But we switched it out quickly. My apologies for the stress, pinkie toe!

I take this photo a lot. But it's always different and I don't know why! I think it has something to do with the height of my clients. In any case, I'm really glad it came out so well for Meagan, seeing as it was her one request.

Joe & Francis | DC courthouse wedding | 701 Restaurant | Washington

Joe and Francis were married last week at the DC courthouse with scads of jubilant friends and family. These two decided to tie the knot shortly before leaving on vacation and planned the whole thing abroad, from a cruise ship. In something like a week and a half. If they could pull that off, marriage should be a piece of cake.

That was Francis and Joe's wedding day. But we ducked under some columns and had some fun. DC-same-sex-wedding-courthouse-11 And then a girl poked her head out of the door there and asked us if we wanted to go to the roof and do some photos on the patio! Um, yes please! DC people are so nice to just-married couples. DC-same-sex-wedding-courthouse-13 Quick portrait shoot a wrap, we scooted over to 701 Restaurant for a lovely cocktails-and-hors d'oeuvres reception.

Margaret & Scott | DC courthouse wedding

Margaret and Scott are crazy daredevil rule-breaking bad-asses. They drink champagne in public on national park property. On this particular day, they got hitched beforehand. DC-courthouse-wedding-photographers-17 I'm a big fan of the new marriage ceremony room. It's more symmetrical than the other one. Margaret and Scott scored the good one.
