Miriam and RJ were married at the Carnegie Institution for Science a few weeks ago, surrounded by some of the sweetest family I have ever met. And they played Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” without even a hint of irony, which, if you ask me, speaks a lot to how ridiculously genuine they are. Their brunch wedding in the beautiful rotunda was about the most relaxed it is possible for a wedding to be, with plenty of smiles to spare.
Sarah & Tim are getting married back home, but live here in the District and wanted to capture some engagement photos for posterity at Tim’s alma mater, Georgetown University. Georgetown is a really beautiful campus, and I learned that is partially because there is an endowment specifically for landscaping. So there’s that. We did their engagement session on Tim’s very birthday, the kind soul, so special thanks to him! It wasn’t so hard though, these guys are all laughs.
Yesterday was a really big day for civil rights (though we must admit that Wednesday was a pretty shit day). I’m sure you’ve heard about DOMA and Prop 8 already, and honestly a lot of the legal stuff is really confusing to me. There’s still plenty to be sorted out and still a long road ahead for full marriage equality. I hadn’t planned to go down to the Supreme Court again, but when my building lost power and I couldn’t be home working, it seemed like the place to go.
