Ann’s father carefully laid down pictures of relatives and items from their religion on a cloth-covered tabletop.  As he worked, her relatives poured into the room, filling the small hotel suite. He spoke in a language I didn’t understand, but it was clear from the vibe in the room that everyone was sending Ann off to her wedding with as much love and support as they had.  And then later, these people all got down on the dancefloor.

It’s been a crazy winter. I’ve photographed three weddings this year and all three of them have had absolutely stunning weather, considering it has been January and February! Many thanks to Cassidy DuHon for having me out to second shoot Trisha and Geoff’s incredibly beautiful wedding at the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel. I hadn’t been before and it is one of the most striking churches I’ve seen (okay, in this country – I did just take a 3-week trip to Italy). Most brides can’t just sit around and do portraits in a strapless dress on their February wedding day. Luckily for these two (and me!), it was a balmy 50-something out.
