Shannon and Tim are married, but they’re so awesome, they want cool photos of themselves just because (and, you know, plus headshots). We hit up the National Mall before hardly any of these flowering trees started doing their thing. Couple of who-knows purple things and some juuuuust barely getting there Magnolias and mission accomplished. Though, honestly, some dead-looking dangly trees are more up my aesthetic alley.
Heather and Gary got married on a day that should have been uncharacteristically warm for winter, but was instead blustery and frigid. But Heather stuck with it in her awesome bright pink dress and we shuffled off to the National Gallery of Art for portraits after their ceremony at the DC War Memorial. These two are so sweet to each other – it was really cool to document their wedding.
It was about 9:30 this morning, when I saw a tweet from a local photographer, talking about shooting four blocks from the inauguration. Why the hell am I not shooting the inauguration? I thought to myself. And I didn’t have a good answer at all. I’d been thinking today was a stay-home-all-day sort of day, as the metro would be insane and the roads closed. But, f*ck it, I’m a damn street photographer! So I put on my shoes and caught the 9:45 bus. Then I watched Barack Obama get reinstated as President.
