BRIDE & GROOM AT THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT

Laura and Daniel's wedding was so much fun! We travelled to Washington D.C. for their wedding. 

Laura and Daniel actually had their wedding and reception in Maryland, but wanted to do a first look and photos in the city. The bonus was we all stayed right in the downtown area. So we did a first look at the Renaissance Hotel. Then we all jumped into the limo to do photos in the downtown D.C. area. 

Neal and I arrived a day early and walked around all of the touristy spots. We mapped out photo locations as we walked as well. Since driving is not the greatest in that area (super busy), we had to keep everything pretty close. 

First stop, the Washington Monument area. And I say area because we were not right at the Monument. We were in the general area of the National Mall. It extends all the way to the Lincoln Memorial. Which if we turned the opposite way, you could see in the distance, with the Reflecting Pool in the center. 

Now, this was a prime Saturday! And the tourists were full blown in the area. That did not stop us though. Look at how amazing this image is. Yes, there were a few hundred people we needed to remove, but I love how Neal kept the 2 people in the back ground. Look at them looking right at Laura and Daniel. They were so curious. They watched almost everything we did with Laura, Daniel and the wedding party. We felt we had to keep them!
