Katie & Jessica: Married! | The Barns at Wolf Trap | Vienna

I’m so pleased to share with you Katie and Jessica’s beautiful wedding from Wolf Trap.  The fabulous Kelly Prizel had me out to second shoot and – joy of joys – even let me tag along for the portraits, so I have couple pictures to show you!  This wedding was unpretentious and poignant, with plenty of tears and lots of laughter.  And a breakfast buffet.  It was all kinds of rock.

Katie and Jessica opted for a “first look” before their ceremony.  Wolf Trap offered lovely little woods for them.

This was too cute.  As Katie was walking up, Jessica turned around.  Kelly teased her not to look, so she turned back around like she hadn’t seen.

The ceremony was done in a really unique circular pattern.  Challenging to photograph, but it was obvious that family involvement was a big priority for the brides.

Rich & Sean: Married! | Odyssey Cruises | National Harbor

Rich and Sean got married on a boat.  If I remember the speech correctly, the “biggest, gayest boat in all of Washington, DC.”  The party did not disappoint!  The ever-fabulous Cassidy DuHon had me out to second shoot this wild and crazy and very emotional event and then I took over for the dancing.  You’ll notice that I’m posting far far too many dancing shots.  Deal with it.

The ceremony and reception took place on the Odyssey cruise boat, which was a pretty sweet venue, if you ask me.

Rich & Sean got ready at the nearby Hampton Inn at National Harbor.  We did all the normal formal stuff but I really like this little guy.  He was not feeling the pictures.
