When I first heard from Jessie and Jimi about their wedding I had to triple check that I was reading their email right-- and I was! Their wedding is next May and it's on a Tuesday. I'm a big fan of weekday weddings and an even bigger fan of this couple. They've been engaged for FOUR years.

This Monday I met Rafi and Amy at Seneca Creek State Park for their engagement session. Originally we had planned on doing it elsewhere but the government shutdown thwarted our plans as the original location was a National Park. Thanks a lot, Congress!
