Chad, Kirsten & I have known each other now for almost 2 years -- we met through the DC Triathlon Club. I had just started training for my first Ironman in AZ (also my 1st triathlon) and most people thought that was a bit crazy. Well, it was, but somehow I think that's why Chad and I got along -- that, and our love for terrible jokes and obscure movie quotes. Needless to say, after endless trainer sessions in their living room, early morning runs and the occasional brunch at Tunnicliff's, it was only fit that they asked me to photograph their wedding. Well, I've never said this to them, but I was and am completley honored to have been asked. Chad & Kirsten, I consider you both my friends, and for what it's worth, two of the closest people I know since I left high school. You've graced me with the gift of being in your lives and now shooting your wedding, but I hope it's only a small part of what's to come as the two of you grow older together. Thanks. I love you guys.
Enough of the sappiness...here's some pictures. :-)
For those who were at the wedding know this sign all too well -- it greeted us on the entrance way to the Manor.
What a simple, beautiful dress.

Though it rained the night before, the weather was great!

One of my favorite shots from the weekend.
I was playing with the fisheye lens and flash on this shot. It took awhile to get right, but the outcome, I think, is hilarious.
A Perfect Ending. :-)AND NOW THE SLIDESHOW!!!
