DC War Memorial Wedding | Lisa + Spencer
August 6, 2021 By  Teresa With  0 Comment
In  Weddings

I was thrilled when Lisa contacted me about documenting their big day, and she said it would be a DC War Memorial Wedding. Documenting an engagement session or wedding at this cute little spot on the National Mall had been on my bucket list for a long time! They had a gorgeous engagement session in Old Town Alexandria; these are so important so I can get to know the couple and they get to know me. They are key for making wedding day smooth!

Lisa and Spencer had an intimate DC War Memorial wedding with just their siblings and parents. Even though it was small, they had all of the details! Lisa entered from the reflecting pool; her dad was the cutest at keeping her de-stressed and having fun. May of 2021 brought the brood X cicadas, and their wedding wasn’t exempt from their attendance!

The ceremony was perfect; they wrote their vows and they were so sweet! After the ceremony, they ended their DC War memorial wedding with a dance and family formals, ending the day with a portrait session for just them on the National Mall. We used their allotted time at the DC War Memorial, and then made our way up to the Lincoln Memorial for some more portraits. The entire event was just two hours, and then they headed back to Virginia for a gathering at her dad’s house to celebrate!

While my 2021 is booked, I still have some 2022 openings for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. You can head over to my wedding page to learn more information, but I love smaller weddings and elopements, and my style is very documentary during the wedding day! Like is true in all of my work, I LOVE connection and real, raw emotion.

    Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there, especially those who are celebrating for the first time! Head over to @tcj_photos to see some of my awesome husband!
    PSA from a military spouse: Memorial Day isn't about the veterans currently serving, who have served, or who have died of natural causes. That's why we have days like Veterans' Day or Armed Forces Day. Memorial Day is for those who lost their lives while serving. Last year, we visited the part of Arlington to see my husband's friend who died in a helicopter crash. It was heart-wrenching to see so many people hanging out, having a picnic, and just being as close as they could to their loved ones that left us too soon. I'm so thankful that my husband came back from those deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan and that he's been able to text me at the end of every helicopter flight to say he landed safely. Remember the real meaning of the day as you enjoy extra time off with your family and friends. It's not about honoring all Veterans. It's about honoring those who gave up everything for us.
    I'm glad M let me do something a bit unconventional for part of her headshots session last week. I just couldn't resist the glowy light and being off-centered allows room for all sorts of text on a website. :)
    I'm just loving editing this multi-generational shoot. The mom requested details, and I was happy to oblige. Great grandmother's and grandmother's hands that carried and cared for now adult babies now holding fresh tiny ones. I just loved it all. It's not my usual style, but I found myself loving it!

    Big week for this kiddo. He makes his First Communion Saturday! I can’t wait to celebrate him. He has such an amazing suit!
    Great grandma came to visit the baby, so it was the perfect time for photos of four generations. This is a little more formal than my normal work, but I have a lot of great candids, too. I just love little Cam's smile!  Swipe to see one of him solo. He's almost five. months old!
    We had such a busy day yesterday running all over. Today, we're catching up on some spring maintenance at home. Who else is loving this warmer weather?
