Two things about this wedding: 1) It was absolutely everything a wedding should be and nothing it shouldn’t – filled with family, tears, great food, good music and love.  2) I asked Olivia to sit on a rock that wasn’t sturdy.  She almost fell over and I almost ruined her dress and her response was “thankfully I have strong quads.”  That is to say, this intimate, lovely wedding was really a treat to photograph.  Plus, look at these two.

Probably five minutes after I arrived at Woodend Nature Sanctuary to help photograph Caroline and David’s wedding with the fabulous Tara Welch, I decided that it was my favorite venue in DC.  You’ll see shortly that the guys’ getting-ready room features an entire wall (actually three walls) of taxidermied birds.  How weird!  How wonderful!  And then I met Caroline and David.

A huge thank you to Cassidy DuHon for having me out to assist with Jimin and Teddy’s family-filled and boisterous wedding at the Capitol Hill Baptist Church and Capitol Hill Club!
