Jess and Matt's Georgetown and Carnegie Institute Wedding!

Jul 31

You may remember Jess and Matt from their Capitol Hill engagement session back in the fall. Welp, they're back on the blog this time because their wedding was last month and it is stunning!Jess and Matt both attend Holy Catholic Trinity Church in Georgetown, so it was only natural that they held the wedding there. Honestly, the grounds were a photographers dream, with the historic church and chapel and some beautiful gardens in the back part of the property. There were pink hydrangeas in bloom that matched Jess and Matt's color scheme perfectly! Also, there's a basketball court on one side of the church, so naturally Matt decided to bring his basketball and shoot some hoops before the ceremony. I put him to the test and had him take a few shots backwards, just to see if he had any wedding day luck on his side! Of course, he did, so he made a couple of shots which you'll see below!

The ceremony was just gorgeous and I loved how excited Jess and Matt were to be married. They kept looking at each other over and over during the ceremony and just grinning from ear to ear. They even cheered once they were finally pronounced husband and wife, which was too stinkin' cute!

After the ceremony we took a few photos of the amazing wedding party at a nearby park, and then headed to the gorgeous reception site of Carnegie Institute of Science! Talk about another place with some amazing photographic opportunities! From the sun-kissed dancing photos, to the sun-kissed outdoor photos and then back inside for some dramatic night-time shots, I could not complain with how these turned out! Jess and Matt learned how to dance before their big day, and you can tell in the photos. I am a huge fan of Jess' long blonde hair moving (she did that in her engagement session), so I was really happy when her hair got some movement during the dance and then again later in a portrait!

I can't thank Jess and Matt enough for having me photograph their wedding day! I had such an amazing time with you, Jess and Matt, and I hope you love these photos! Also, many thanks to the vendors below for making this wedding day so magical!
