jillian + kyle: married!

ladies + gentleman we are floating in space.

jillian + kyle had an absolutely perfect wedding last weekend at willow. the theme was fabulous cocktail party meets intimate wedding ceremony with good wine, good food, and really good music. their closest family + friends were greeted with glasses of champagne and invited to mingle on the patio and enjoy the warm fall afternoon. just after 6pm everyone gathered inside the restaurant to watch as jillian + kyle entered through the front doors and made their way down the aisle together. a brief and beautiful ceremony pronounced them husband + wife, cocktails + dinner followed, good conversation + great dancing took place, and everyone had a wonderful time.

jillian + kyle: thank you for inviting me to be a part of your perfect day – you are a such lovely couple and i’m so glad i was a part of your wedding!

enjoy!

rin-rin + jon (and company): engaged!

family matters.

meet rin-rin + jon and their awesome family! i am so excited to be photographing their wedding in a few weeks, they are a great couple and had the wonderful idea of doing their session at the national arboretum. it was my first time visiting the arboretum and i loved it! we explored the verdant grounds, admiring the bonsai trees, herb gardens, blooming flowers and trees, and even made our way over to the stately capital columns and grove of state trees.

rin-rin + jon decided to share their engagement session with their best friends: rin-rin’s sister, brother-in-law and adorable niece, who are a huge part of their daily life. i was definitely excited – the more the merrier! i was able to get great photos of rin-rin + jon as well as the whole family and i had a great time getting to know everyone!

enjoy!

zeba + ted: engaged!

a capitol love.

zeba + ted are getting married! i had such a fun afternoon with these two as we ran around the city taking photos and having a great time. ted is a capitol hill police officer, so we started our session at the capitol building where we explored the gorgeous interior of the building with no one else around! it’s been a long time since i’ve shot on the hill and it was really neat to get a private tour of the capitol and hear all the history and stories from ted – i learned so much! afterwards, we headed over to logan circle and explored the neighborhood where we sought out some great urban shots with my favorite graffiti in the city.

i loved spending time with zeba + ted and i can’t wait until their wedding in november! the fabulous alex pare of cherry blossom events is coordinating everything and it’s going to be fabulous! i’m so happy alex introduced us – this is one great couple!

now, enjoy!

tina + gerard: married!

one classy couple.

i had the most wonderful time at tina + gerard’s wedding! the entire day was perfect, from the morning appointment at PR at Partners where tina was styled, to the fun getting ready time at the Westin with family + the bridal party! tina was super calm and composed while gerard was super excited – they are such a perfect match! it was a gorgeous (almost fall!) day and we walked around the courthouse area getting fun photos before the evening ceremony…

as guests filed into the ceremony they were serenaded by classic music and the bridal party led the way down the aisle where gerard was anxiously anticipating his bride. tina came down the aisle with her father and i loved the expression on gerard’s face. they were all smiles after they tied the knot and were immediately embraced by their family + friends – hugging, congratulating, and lots of photo taking ensued!

after the amazing cocktail reception tina + gerard entered the ballroom and danced together gracefully as husband and wife… i really enjoyed watching them all evening, they were so blissful and exuded such class as they floated around the room chatting with their guests, posing for photos with all their excited relatives, and kissing every time the clinking of the glasses encouraged them to do so…

tina + gerard: thank you. thank you for choosing me to document your day, thank you for trusting me with preserving your memories, and thank you for welcoming me into your lives and your family on your wedding day – i had an absolutely wonderful time.

now go enjoy aruba! bon voyage newlyweds!!
