Kirsten & Lorin's Wedding
Posted Wednesday, September 17, 2008 in Wedding Photography
The day of Kirsten & Lorin's wedding turned out to be the one day that the remnants of hurricane Hannah decided to dump several inches of rain on the DC area. But, if she was trying to ruin the wedding day, Hannah failed miserably!
Everything turned out great and the weather started to clear up by the end of the ceremony. The wedding was held at the beautiful Missionhurst Chapel in Arlington, Virginia and the reception was at The Washington Golf and Country Club. Here are a few of my favorite shots for the day:
First, a couple details: the beautiful purple bouquet and Kirsten's gorgeous dress.
I'm mainly including this getting ready shot to be able to tell the following little story. After asking for a curling iron and receiving three (or possibly four), there was much fiddling with Kirsten's hair. Kirsten's sister stepped up and worked some hair-curlin' magic which promted Kirsten to exclaim 'you're a genius!' Without missing a beat, her sister replied 'well, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.' It was so quick; we all burst out laughing. I enjoyed this so much, that I told my wife about it, but she hasn't seen the commercials. Oh well.
I was told/warned that Kirsten's dad was quite the shutterbug. I grabbed this shot of him grabbing a shot of Kirsten:
One of the side-effects of the rain was a slight change of plans regarding Kirsten's entrance. The plan was for her to go around the outside of the building and enter through the door at the back of the chapel. Due to the rain, she couldn't go outside, so one of the Priests came up with the idea to just have everyone bow their head in silent prayer while Kirsten snuck down the center aisle. This shot is Kirsten waiting to sneak:
Here's a couple from the ceremony; exchanging vows and exchanging rings:
A couple portraits outside the church:
...and a couple more at the reception. As you can see, the weather decided to shape up:
Lastly, here are a few from the reception:
There are several more photos available on my flickr stream.
Congratulations to Kirsten & Lorin! And, thanks so much for letting me photograph your wedding; I thoroughly enjoyed it.
