STACEY & TODD | Weddings – Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland

I had an amazing time at Stacey & Todd’s Washington DC wedding and working with one of DC’s top wedding planning companies Wish Special Events. Felicia and the owner of Wish, Laura Auer, are a pleasure to work with!

From the cool atmosphere of the men’s Grooming Lounge near Georgetown to the charming Washington Club on Dupont Circle, Stacey & Todd had an absolute blast with their friends & family celebrating one of the most important days in their lives together. It was a privilege to be a part of their DC wedding celebration.

A special thanks goes to the U.S. Capitol Police for their professional courtesy allowing Stacey, Todd & I access to the U.S. Capitol Building exteriors for photographs.

Here’s a slideshow of some highlights and my personal favorites from their day…

The light was perfect at our first stop at the Lincoln Memorial. The sky was really that blue! Other than a slight contrast adjustment and resizing for the web, this was straight-out-of-camera.

We had the privilege of spending just a few minutes photographing around the U.S. Capitol building with Capitol Police escort close behind.

Stacey & Todd were up for anything, including a little dance around the U.S. Capitol building. Photographers: The original exposure was spot on. But I decided to take the liberty to experiment with a post processing method I’ve been working on.

This group had to be one of the most fun ones I’ve had the chance to work with!

No ARMIN wedding photo shoot is complete without the support of tourists!

Shirley & Jim West (Todd’s Mom & Dad) - Armin, Only once or twice during the whole day were we aware that you were around. The pictures and slide show on the blog create a lot of anticipation to see the whole package. You captured such great shots all day. But we would not have expected less after seeing the “engagement shoot” pictures. You really ARE the best !!! Jim West
