Some weddings feel like a love letter to the city they’re set in—and M & T’s Washington, DC celebration was exactly that. Documented on both digital and 35mm film, their day was filled with movement, laughter, and unforgettable pockets of stillness. As a DC film wedding photographer, I live for days like this: raw, stylish, full of heart.
We started at Constitution Gardens, where M & T shared a quiet moment before the energy of the day unfolded. The light was soft, the trees were golden, and the film? Chef’s kiss. From there, we wandered toward the War Memorial—an effortlessly timeless setting for their intimate ceremony. A blend of history, elegance, and emotion surrounded every frame.
Their reception at The Line Hotel DC was the perfect exhale. Chic, eclectic, and full of soul—just like them. Guests spilled out onto balconies, cocktails clinked, and the dance floor stayed packed well into the night. Shooting 35mm film here was a dream: grainy, honest, and dripping with atmosphere.
M & T didn’t follow a checklist. They followed their instincts—and that made the day feel like them. This is what I love about being a DC documentary wedding photographer. It’s not about control—it’s about presence. Letting the day breathe, then turning those breaths into legacy.
