sweet scottish love.

zeba + ted are married! 

AND…in honor of ted’s scottish heritage the boys wore kilts! outstanding on all accounts!

zeba + ted’s wedding was every bit as amazing as i expected it to be: excitement + elegance combined to make it a perfectly spectacular celebration! scottish bagpipes welcomed everyone to st. joseph’s roman catholic church on capitol hill for a beautiful religious ceremony. afterwards, guests proceeded to cocktail hour at the westin city center, while the bridal party ventured to senate park for a quick + fun photo session!

the reception was an exuberant celebration featuring wonderful speeches + crazy wild dancing (including the robot as well as african dances!) the decor was stunning, and my personal favorite was the impressive dessert table + candy bar! i feel very confident saying everyone had an absolutely amazing time, as evidenced by the following photos! wedding revelers kept the dance floor packed the entire night, and at the end of the evening encircled the newlyweds + serenaded them before sending them off with romantic + spirited rose petal toss…

zeba + ted: thank you for including me in your wonderful day! i had an incredible time and loved every minute your wedding! you are a fantastic duo – i love how apparent + natural your love is, and how perfectly you complement one another, and i wish you a lifetime of pure wedded bliss!

enjoy!

carrie + jay celebrated their love yesterday with a beautiful wedding at the hotel monaco in old town, alexandria! despite the very cold november afternoon, they braved the winter weather (accompanied by their bridal party!) for some amazing photos at some of their favorite spots…

the aforementioned newlyweds + their party seen above enjoying themselves in spite of the cold at the birchmere – where carrie + jay first met! such an amazing building! i could have shot there all day, but alas, the warm limo beckoned us…

stay tuned for many more fabulous photos from the wedding!

preview: jessica + holly’s wedding!

coming soon: jessica + holly!

jessica + holly are married! woohoo! their’s was a wedding to remember – beautiful, emotional, powerful and exciting. there are *so* many incredible photos from the day, starting at the courtyard marriott in logan circle, then at the JCC for their traditional jewish ceremony, and then onto the HRC for the wild celebratory reception! of all the day’s images this one means the most to me…taken at the very end of the night, after the girls changed from their wedding attire into jean chic with the rest of their guests, they posed in front of the awesome human rights campaign building, a final testament to their commitment and right to love, honor, and cherish each other for the rest of their lives.

they may not yet be wed in the eyes of the law, but i assure you jessica + holly are very much married. they are married in the eyes of their god, their family, their friends, and most importantly each other. i wish them a lifetime of love and happiness, and i wait anxiously for the day the law catches up with the needs of ALL its citizens.

* the HRC is working closely with state leaders across the nation on marriage initiatives and have dedicated resources to protect the progress already made in some states. you can help support marriage equality for all by signing the million for marriage petition. *
