Katherine & Kermit | Carnegie Institution for Science wedding | Washington, DC
Katherine and Kermit were married last month at the always-charming, always-classy Carnegie Institution for Science in a room filled with smiles, tears and a hundred candles. You may remember these two from their whacky engagement session. I was ready for more antics, but they were far more interested in cuddling and talking sweet to each other than goofing off for the camera (go figure!). Katherine and Kermit:
Big shout-out to Katie from The Plannery (who almost certainly is a mom by now - congratulations Katie!) and Stephanie and Liza from Studio DBI for planning, designing and executing such a beautiful setting for these two to get hitched in. We started the day at the Jefferson.
You'll see about seven thousand photos with the flower girls. Here's #1.
We got these over to the Carnegie so they could say hello.
Did I say there were no antics? I certainly didn't mean to.
Too funny. This is why we do portraits before the ceremony.
Rocking a little wedding street photography before we get into the romantic stuff.
A little prep before go time. K&K designed their ceremony in the round, lit by candles held by their guests.
Shout-out to DJ Mark Maskell, who spun the mad beats.
Slam-you-in-the-face with flower girl pictures in 3, 2, 1...
Congratulations guys!

We started at the Lincoln and just walked around, enjoying this fair city we live in. Afterwards, we had beers. Photowalks are always better when there are beers at the end.
The pond at Constitution Gardens is frozen solid a good 20 feet in. I'd say the ice was at least four inches deep. No one else would stand on it with me.
But they were happy to photograph me standing on it. This is what photographer meetups look like.
And this is what giant wasps' nests look like. Terrifying! I almost never say "I'm so glad it's winter" but I did when I saw this guy.
On our way to the bar, we happened across all these skaters in Freedom Plaza. It was pretty awesome to watch them jump this thing.
And that's all for this installment. Until next time.
We started in their home, which is a lovely place to start an engagement session. Particularly when you have so much natural light.
Matt proposed right on this bench. Spoilers: she said yes.
One of my favorite portrait spots in the park got some seriously mean-looking graffiti, so we rocked it a different way. (PSA to people who put graffiti on public places: dudes, come on, not in the best portico.)
Congratulations you guys! More from Alyssa and Matt next year. And no more from me until the dreaded/anticipated Best of 2014 post. Happy holidays everyone!
