the good life.
mary + peter just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary! what better way to commemorate a year of marriage than with a fabulous anniversary session! (well, that AND a trip to las vegas!) last weekend we strolled through logan circle (their old neighborhood and mine) and i got to catch up with one of my favorite couples ever. mary + peter are super cute together – simply a perfect match. married life is treating them great and they recently expanded their family with a puppy! it’s hard to believe it was just a year ago that i documented their thai buddhist blessing ceremony, on a brisk sunday morning following their catholic wedding. they were glowing in spite of the chilly fall morning, surrounded by their family + friends and wrapped in the love and traditions of their unique celebration. it was a spectacular day, and one i think of often because of the wonderful rituals, loving families, and the beauty and serenity of the wat yarnna rangsee buddhist monastery.
fast forward one year later, to a very regular sunday afternoon where i once again saw that magic and connection, and was witness to love in full bloom. i couldn’t be happier for these newlyweds and am honored to be able to continue to document their love + life together. they make each other so happy, and i felt happier just being around them.
to mary + peter: hooray!
enjoy.

Amazing pics Himay! The jumping picture came out perfect. You are so very talented at what you do. I love them all (and can’t wait to see the rest!).
Ooo! That checkered wall with the bright colors is such a great find. These are so great!
These are so great! I love how colorful they are… and I can’t believe it’s been a year (over a year now). Good times at a real Buddhist wedding.

wow, i think this is probably my favorite blonde photo engagement session so far :) a fab couple + rich colors and textures + an incredible photog = perfection
I’m inspired by your work, both writing and photography. Someday, I’d love to be in shoes similar to yours! I’m adding you to my blogroll. If that’s not ok, just let me know and I’ll take it down.

Shelby — I think this was shot near Logan Circle in NW DC. Correct me if I’m wrong Jaime!
