I’m going to let you in on a little secret, blog readers. I’d say a good 80% of the people I photograph tell me they are “not photogenic” or that they are awkward, particularly in front of cameras. Dana and Hal told me that. Yes, seriously, these two. I have to say they straight rocked out the fall colors on the National Mall.

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. Rock on, friends.

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. It was a good day.
