Kelly and Roberto were married at
Holy Rosary Church in Washington, DC and partied it up like mad at
Sequoia Restaurant. I loved their big, boisterous families. And I loved that everybody seemed to mush their names together, so instead of the priest at the church enunciating "Kelly and Roberto", he just said "kellyroberto" for everything. They're already the same person. And, Sequoia is an amazing place to shoot. You'll see in about two seconds how much I loved those dangly blue sparkly things. And, they got a letter from the Pope. It was a big day.
The gentlemen started the day at
The Melrose Georgetown...
...while the ladies got prettified at the
Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.
Many thanks to Marie for coming out for this one.
It was Rolling Thunder that day, so we made it to the church just in time.
I've never seen a couple get a letter from the Pope before.
Roberto's mother arranged for these awesome fancy old cars to take Kelly and Roberto around the city.
They projected old-timey music out of the back, so we were a rolling party. It turned a lot of heads.
Such a convenient boat painted with Georgetown.
Portraits done, rings on, they headed to Sequoia to dance the night away.
I knew it was going to be a great night when the entire wedding got up and danced like this
in-between courses. I've also never seen
that at a wedding!
I can't help it. The sparkly things are so sparkly.
Possibly the most hilarious grandpa I've photographed. Yes, that is his handicapped placard.
They danced like this all night.
Congratulations, you guys!

I really enjoy working in Georgetown. It's got such variety - Key Bridge, canals, graffiti, cutesy cobblestone streets and adorable little alleyways and houses.
Jenny told me she learned English partially by watching How I Met Your Mother - hence the yellow umbrella. The more I thought about it, the more difficult that seems - the show is all puns! Some people are cut out for this learning-other-languages thing.
Congratulations guys!
(Yeah! We got up early enough that there weren't any cars parked in front of the flower mural!)
The kayak people were so nice - even opened the gate for us to take photos by the bridge and with the colorful kayaks.
I have the best clients.
Georgetown is really quite alright. Lots of pretty stuff (basically none of which I am showing on the blog today) and then graffiti, underpasses, weird street scenes - it's a great place to shoot.)
I photoshopped a rat trap out of this image.
You'll see more of these two on the blog in fancier dress later this year.
Congratulations, you guys!
