This past weekend was so fun. It was MEMORIAL DAY! I love Memorial Day around the district because of one thing. ROLLING THUNDER. Hundreds of thousands of motorcycles rally together at the Pentagon, and then, one by one, roll around the district making as much noise as they can to remind everyone of the sacrifices made to protect America’s freedom. Gives me chills.

BUT before that, I photographed Brouck’s wedding! Whew. I’m loving this wedding season so far. Their’s was traditional, yet personal. Brouck and Matthew are so laid back, but so organized. It was a fun event to be a part of. This couple hired me over email, so we hadn’t even met! I arrived at Brouck’s house 30 minutes early and photographed her sweet details. I met her family–so hospitable! I think I was offered a drink about 5 times. Once Brouck arrived, the day was put into action and never slowed down!

One of the most telling photos of the day. All of her bridesmaids chipped in and literally lent a hand. This was such a supportive cast.

Brouck, you are so adorable in this photo.

After the wedding, we went to Upper Senate Park for a few portraits. We had to dodge about 18 wedding parties, but managed to find a secluded section of the park where there wasn’t another bride Brouck and Matthew ROCKED their portraits.

I’ll end with my FAVORITE shot of the day. Gorgeous, Brouck! Seriously!
