Zach & Jenn are getting hitched: Maryland Wedding Photographer, D.C. Modern Wedding Photography

May 3, 2012

These two!!  I love them.  They are so much fun to hang out with.  They had so many great stories and even though I can’t share all of them, I will share a few of them.

They first met on the lawn of the National Mall for an outdoor movie, “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.”  Jenn was sitting on a blanket and Zach needed a place to sit, so hey, why not sit next to the pretty brunette on the blanket 😉  As the evening developed they realized they really liked spending time together and decided they would have to do it again.  Zach arranged that their first date would be to share his art.  Both Zach and Jenn love painting only Zach’s form of painting is somewhat non-conventional; Zach loves tagging.  For those of you that don’t know the term, it’s spray paint art, like the kind you see under freeways and in alleyways.  Given Jenn’s adventurous spirit, it was a perfect date.  They painted crabs on the bottom of an abandoned swimming pool.  Jenn’s mom was slightly concerned that her new love interest could be a little edgy (I imagine piercings and tattoos with a braided gotee).  Jenn assured her he was a sweet law abiding citizen and it probably helped that he’s a medical student.  As their relationship developed over the course of dinners, swing dances, and the like, they realized that if they got married, their children would be gorgeous and it would be a disservice not to get married (okay so I totally just added this last part in :p).   After seven months of steady dating, they decided to get hitched and are getting married this July!

And then there is the story about the abandoned house, a vintage door, and a very large scary vulcher that thought the house was his home… but that’s a story for another post.   Enjoy!

P.S.  Leave them some love.  Twenty comments will win them a complimentary 11×14 print from this shoot.

    Mother of the bride loves her daughter and her son-in-law to be!!! These pictures really show their love and caring for each other. Certainly, a match made in heaven!! Great photography and even greater subjects (Even if I weren’t the mom, I’d still say this.) Loved the choice of music… beautiful and in love!!

    Jennifer, you and Zach are a truly beautiful pair! You both look so wonderfully happy! I am thrilled for you both!!!

    I must put in my two cents’ worth: my favorite is the black and white on the road. It seems so symbolic of your journey so far and the journey that lies ahead.

    Congratulations, and all my best wishes to you both.

    Spencer shared the website today after school. Great photos and great story about the artwork. Maybe we should go back and look at the tagging on the back of the gym??? Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
