Pearl Street, The Wharf DC Wedding & Top of the Town | Celeste + Mike | Washington DC Wedding Photographer
The Line DC Wedding | DC Wedding Photographer | Gwen + Elby
Even though the unprecedented time of this year has affected many people’s lives including wedding celebrations and also has heavily affected wedding photography in general, I am choosing to continue documenting love and life stories at weddings whether it is down-scaled and/or shortened. I hope that at least there is a person who finds the heartfelt moments of Gwen & Elby’s rooftop wedding in DC healing and touching her/his weary heart. Their touches and smiles shown amongst many black & white photos in this blog sprinkle a little fresh air of hopes and positivity.
As you enjoy viewing mostly black & white photos from this high school sweetheart’s wedding, I hope that these black & white images help you connect better with their moments solely through touches, emotions, moments, expression & such by limiting the color aspects in the frame.
Below is the very generous message received upon sharing the collection of their wedding photos.
“Ken!
These are absolutely incredible. We cannot thank you enough for documenting our special day. We've already forwarded to our friends and family who were in attendance and everyone loves them. Absolutely incredible work!
Best,
Elby & Gwen”

A day after their wedding Randle & Jacob wrote to me "Ken - Your energy is so infectious! And getting just a glimpse of the images you were capturing made Jacob and I beyond excited to see the finished product in a few weeks! Thank you for handling our motley crew so beautifully." It was my first groom+groom wedding, I just can say... it was a truly incredible experience, and heartfelt blast.
