Margaret & John | Old Town Alexandria courthouse wedding

Margaret and John were married in the quiet, pretty courtyard at the Old Town Alexandria courthouse, right in the midst of downtown with its cobblestones and brick and very nice light. We traipsed around a couple of blocks and hit up the sweet cobblestones on Prince Street near the water. And hey - that chalk heart was still there! wedding portraits on prince street in old town alexandria Margaret and John got ready at the Hotel Monaco in Old Town.

Natasha & Aaron | DC courthouse wedding

Natasha and Aaron made it official at the DC courthouse with their nearest and dearest - including a bunch flown halfway across the world with a little guy on his (first?) super-long plane ride. It was a freak cold day when it should have been beautiful, but we soldiered through and skipped our way down to the National Gallery of Art to keep everybody from freezing. But first, they had some marrying to do. creative portraits at national gallery of art everybody waiting for dc courthouse wedding to start father and daughter at the dc courthouse bride looking at her groom at dc courthouse wedding holding hands at dc courthouse wedding bride's parents getting emotional at dc courthouse wedding dc courthouse wedding photography congratulations after the ceremony at dc courthouse wedding Natasha and Aaron bought their families different colored Converse to wear while walking around between portrait locations.
