Capitol Hill Archives - Deb Lindsey Photography

Oh how I love to photograph the weddings of my former bridesmaids/groomsmen! Although I didn’t recognize Vicky the first time we met to discuss her plans, she looked a little familiar. I began to show her images from Laura + Sam’s Carnegie Institute wedding from last summer and sure enough…there she was! I even had a cute photo of Vicky + Andy dancing included in the slide show. Their engagement shoot sealed the deal for me. We had a great afternoon together starting at Masa 14, the site of their first date and ending up at the WWII Memorial. They are a downtown Washington couple and the wedding day reflected their love of the city. Their ceremony at Holy Rosary was lovely and as seen the photos, a bit of a laugh fest. Catholic ceremonies aren’t known for their humor but Vicky came down with a case of the giggles during the ceremony and it made for some very animated photos. We then made an attempt to stop traffic on Pennsylvania Ave. We did it without getting run over thanks to our very accommodating bus driver who blocked a lane of traffic. I particularly love the running down the street photos. And I’d be remiss not to mention the “Bridesmaids” inspired shot for the girls. It was all Vicky’s idea and it worked out beautifully. It makes such a difference when everyone in the bridal party is willing to cooperate and play a part—it can make traditionally boring group shots really stand out. The icing on the (wedding) cake for me was a chance to shoot at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. It’s such a gorgeous room without being overwhelming and that staircase is just fabulous. And a special shout out to Sara Muchnick of Engaging Affairs who made sure everything ran on time and without a hitch!
