Washington DC Courthouse Wedding - Torben & Kate

May 25, 2017 Beth Caldwell

2011 - Torben and Kate were both living in DC. He's from Germany. She's from NY. They met online. He went back to Germany. She stayed in the US. They fell in love.

OK, so that's the quick version, but with years of trips across the Atlantic their love grew. And today was wedding day at the DC Courthouse!!

Willkommen in Amerika, Torben!

Lauren and Matt | Married!!

February 9, 2017 Beth Caldwell

So this blog is late. Like really late. In fact all my blogs are really late so this is just the beginning of a long series of posts, so I'm kicking this whole thing off with an incredible couple! Meet Lauren and Matt!

Lauren and Matt are one of the loveliest couples I've met and photographed. There is one word to sum up their wedding. LOVE. And I'm not kidding. There was so much stinkin' love at this wedding it was a hug-fest and I attribute it to the bride and groom. Their wedding was filled with so much emotion I cried at least four times that day. I need help, I know.

And they were also blessed with a perfectly timed rain storm EXACTLY during the ceremony and then it was over. Amazing! That's good luck for sure!

Ok, I'm done gushing over these two. Let's get on with some photos!

NANCY + JESSE GOT MARRIED! WEDDING DAY PART 2

August 23, 2016 Beth Caldwell

When Nancy asked me to photograph her wedding I felt a little sick to my stomach and slightly confused. I worked with Nancy and she is a brilliant art director. "She can't actually be asking me to shoot her wedding. She's so creative. She's just being nice." I really thought I would not meet her expectations. Frankly, I'm still a bit in shock.

A couple years ago, when Nancy was living in Austin, she "swiped right" on Jesse's Tinder photo and the rest is history. Texas holds a very special place in their hearts, so when they moved back to the DC area for Jesse's job, Virtue Feed & Grain in Alexandria, VA provided that cool, rustic ambiance for their Austin inspired celebration.

Loads of family and friends gathered on the second floor and filled the overstuffed couches and barstools to see Nancy walk down the isle, and Jesse seemed just as taken with her as he was the week before at their family wedding. The bridesmaids wore beautiful flowered dresses of their choice and the guys looked smart in their suspenders.

OK, let's get on with it already! Here is Nancy and Jesse's TEXAS SIZED blog post!
