We photographers get to view a lot of intimate moments for our clients: stolen glances at the altar, the smallest detail of how she wrinkles her nose when she’s really laughing, maybe even a little skin in a boudoir session. But in April I photographed a moment I’d only seen once before: a proposal. (The once before was when my own husband flashed that ring.) It was, frankly, nerve-wracking, but in the end really special and a huge honor for me. Emily and Stu:
Danielle and Sam hosted a two-day wedding extravaganza – first an intimate wedding at the courthouse with just family, then a slightly larger lunch at Petits Plats, a lovely little French restaurant in Woodley Park. Then they brought in all the folks for a big shindig at American Visionary Art Museum, minus bouquet tosses and first dances and toasts and all of that noise but with lots of tasty food and giant paintings on the ceiling and massive amounts of relatives. Just the parts they wanted. Danielle and Sam:
Laura and Jeff tied the knot last week at the DC courthouse. When you’ve been together a billion years, sometimes a giant party doesn’t make any sense. But the courthouse – that shiz is legal. Marriage certificate in hand, we wandered on down to the Mall for some portraits in the National Gallery.
