Joe and Jessica—Washington D.C. Wedding

July 21, 2018 Caroline Shorey

DAR Constitution Hall—Washington D.C. Wedding


Joe and Jessica seamlessly spent the months leading up to their wedding living in separate countries. While Joe was working for the State Department in Ethiopia, Jessica lived in the US. Between trips to visit him, she wedding planned and prepped to move to Ethiopia and start adventuring the world together starting the week after their wedding! 

Chatting on the phone and emailing back and forth with Jessica, it was easy to tell how fully in-love she and Joe are and completely laid back and happy they are together. It became even more evident on the day of their wedding. They are a perfect pair. 

The Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall was the perfectly chosen backdrop for their classic Washington D.C. wedding. From Jessica’s elegant details, their tearfully happy ceremony with golden hour sun shining on autumn enflamed trees and the Washington Monument, portraits on the roof with a pink gradient sunset and a Super Moon filled sky, there wasn't a piece of the day that did't unfold beautifully. There wasn't a moment where they as a couple weren't being celebrated and loved on by their many guests and family members. It was an evening to remember.

For years I have never been able to land on a coffee shop beverage that was consistently delicious and felt like a treat.

📷: @imkristen_ while photographing and event together l The last several weeks have been full over here. Full of faces from out of town family and friends who I love a lot, full of travel for photography and local photo shoots! Lots of smiles and fun and food and work and photos taken! It’s not always that I get to be with my wonderful, funny, and charming @abbiebossom on her birthday, which made today an especially good one. I couldn’t possibly love this sister of mine more. ❤️ Absolutely no one feels *completely* natural or themselves in front of a camera. Even if they look it, honestly, assume they don’t! So, I always tell people not to be afraid of being playfully silly or of doing something that feels awkward or c
