Jeff & Natalie | Friends Meeting House of DC Wedding
So where to begin with Natalie and Jeff? It’s really hard to put into words, just how perfect these two are for each other. Meeting on Natalie’s first day at Rutgers University, on their path to become engineers, these two became instant friends. And so began the love story of two quiet, yet witty & sarcastic engineers. And now, nine years later, their vows to each other were filled with love, tenderness, promises of commitment, and appreciation of all of the practical tax benefits their marriage would bring.
These two. Kismet.
Jeff & Natalie | Friends Meeting House of DC Wedding
Apparently, when engineers get married, they give out LEGOs as party favors. And apparently, when more engineers are invited to a wedding with LEGOs, they build things with LEGOs. Oh, and Jeff writes amazing love letters. Also, vegan everything at this wedding. Needless to say, it was a solid day of awesome.
Side Note: This year I also hired an amazing new assistant, Maria, who has since expressed an interest is learning a bit about photography. So, for Natalie and Jeff’s ceremony, I pulled spare D750 out of my bag and armed it and Maria with a nifty-fifty. Three of the images you saw above are Maria’s! Awesome.
