One of my favorite things about Washington, DC is that couples can marry themselves—no officiant required. As a photographer, there’s something incredibly special about being the only witness to a couple’s wedding day and getting to document it as it unfolds. Kephren and Chelsea’s elopement took us from the National Gallery of Art, to ice cream at Jeni’s on Capitol Hill, and finally to the Willard InterContinental for cake and a nightcap. A pretty perfect way to get married in DC.
