Ruth and Andrew: A Cross Continental Love

On Saturday I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Ruth and Andrew on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Although the day got off to a bit of a late start, everything ended up to be gorgeous (even though I had to steal the bride and groom away from reception to finally get some portraits!). This wedding was quite unique--only days after tying the knot, this couple headed for the groom's native land of Australia to make their home. Needless to say, it was an emotional time for all the guests! The ceremony was a bit of a challenge as I wasn't allowed to use flash for any part of the ceremony and I had to stay in the very back of the room! Luckily, thanks to a 1600 ISO and a 300 mm lens, I was able to get the shots I needed. What a beautiful couple--they were a joy to photograph.
