backyard wedding: angie + selassie
There isn't much that can dampen the spirits of these two, not even a torrential downpour
right in the middle of their vows, which forced a mad dash by all into their living room to conclude the ceremony. Their lovely backyard/living room wedding, downpour notwithstanding, was a community and family effort, with everyone pitching in to make the day and night perfect.
Many thanks as always to
{ Traci Arney }, whose work is featured below, as well as the wonderful
{ Marissa Kaplan }, who started as an intern five years ago and is now a bonafide shooter in DC.

A kind guest approached me moments before the 5:00pm ceremony and showed me the radar on his phone -- "just thought someone should know about this..." he said. By then it was go-time, so we all just had to hope the clouds would hold. (Fat chance, right? Look at that front!) Below is one of the readings, written by Nikki Giovanni.

then the rain started again during our "just married" shots in the
