American Institute of Architects Wedding

So we meet again …

We first met Emily in 2012 – long before her American Institute of Architects wedding – then a blushing bridesmaid in her brother Dustin’s Woodend Sanctuary wedding. Seven years has never felt longer, btw. Dustin is now a Daddy, and his ring bearer is now of groomsman age. We cherish these experiences in the same way we love photographing our couples once they become triples, or bumping into them at friends’ weddings. You let us in on one of the most intimate chapters, and we love getting to see more of the story.

ANYWAY … Emily and Bryan! Really they should be professional bride and groom models. Elegant and endearing with no trace of nerves. They managed an intimate-feeling ceremony at the American Institute of Architects – just steps from bustling DC. Getting back to Washington is always a treat, and we loved working alongside Kim of Kimnewtonweddings.com. Congrats, Emily and Bryan!

Check out our Journal for more of our couples’ stories.
