Decatur House wedding - Washington, DC - Deb Lindsey Photography

It’s been awhile between blog posts but not for lack of content. Let’s pick up again with Meghan and Mark’s beautiful St. Dominic’s Church wedding and Decatur House reception in mid-June. It was a photographer’s dream in so many respects. Starting with the bride’s preparation photos–a time when it’s often a little hit or miss depending on the light and the location. Getting ready at the Marriott Marquis in DC with wonderful window light started the day off right. All day long there was a lot of laughter and joy mixed with a little tears. Particularly poignant throughout the day were moments between the bride and her dad since her mother had passed away. After their Catholic ceremony at St. Dominic’s we headed with the wedding party to Lafayette Square for some very fun group photos. I just love it when the whole group gets in on the fun. It was hot but sunny and it was a welcome respite when we headed into the adjacent (and air conditioned) Decatur House for some alone time with the bride + groom. The lead off shot here and the shots inside the upstairs of the house were some of my favorites. The lighting was killer! A great party followed in the Decatur House tent with candelabras and flowers, heartfelt toasts and a rocking good party. Special thanks to Sara Franklin at Social Scene Events for coordinating such a beautiful day!
