Ani & David | DC Courthouse wedding | National Gallery of Art

Ani and David got married at the DC courthouse last week with their immediate families and more laughs than you can shake a stick at, not that it's appropriate to be shaking sticks at weddings. After the courthouse, we rolled on down to the National Gallery of Art, one of my favorite spots for portraits in DC.

Che & James | DC courthouse wedding

Che and James were married at the DC courthouse last week with a dozen of their most exuberant closest in attendance. Che made her beautiful hair piece and James teared up during the ceremony. Afterward, I took them to my favorite spot for post-courthouse-wedding portraits: the National Gallery of Art.

In the meantime, the blank slate where they used to have that big horizontal blue and green piece makes for some beautiful negative space. national gallery of art wedding photography I had a fair amount of competition that day. national gallery of art wedding photojournalism sparkly light tunnel wedding photography Congratulations you guys!

Natasha & Aaron | DC courthouse wedding

Natasha and Aaron made it official at the DC courthouse with their nearest and dearest - including a bunch flown halfway across the world with a little guy on his (first?) super-long plane ride. It was a freak cold day when it should have been beautiful, but we soldiered through and skipped our way down to the National Gallery of Art to keep everybody from freezing. But first, they had some marrying to do. creative portraits at national gallery of art everybody waiting for dc courthouse wedding to start father and daughter at the dc courthouse bride looking at her groom at dc courthouse wedding holding hands at dc courthouse wedding bride's parents getting emotional at dc courthouse wedding dc courthouse wedding photography congratulations after the ceremony at dc courthouse wedding Natasha and Aaron bought their families different colored Converse to wear while walking around between portrait locations.
