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.
A big old thanks to Kelly Prizel, who had me along to help her and Natalie shoot Bill and Harry’s fabulous wedding at the Carnegie Institution for Science way on back in the day. (This is my last 2011 seconding wedding still in the blog lineup, yay!) Bill and Harry had one of the most stylish, prettiest weddings I had ever seen, so I took too many detail photos and I’m sharing too many. Their colors were yellow and gray, what do you expect from me!? Check it:
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.
