Jasmine and Ryan’s wedding at the National Aviary

Congratulations to Jasmine and Ryan!!! They said their vows in the rose garden at the National Aviary this past Saturday. It was a scorcher of a day with the temperature hovering in the 90s, but this bride and groom made the most of their hot day.

We started with the groom who was getting ready at his brother’s home:

In the short time I spent with the groomsmen that morning, I knew it would be a fun day. They were ready to go and hamming it up for the camera.

Then we headed to the aviary where the bride was getting ready in “the igloo” by the rose garden.

She’s all ready to walk down the aisle.

The ceremony had some fun moments. And the ladies were cracking up.

And so were the guys.

The officiant kept the ceremony short due to the heat.

After the ceremony, we went to West Park, just behind the aviary. It’s a great place for such a big group and even has a little pond with two bridges.

I really like this one. And it wasn’t planned, but on the way to the reception, Jasmine said they had time for one more, so we went for it!

Ryan was singing to Jasmine during their first dance and it was really sweet.

This is their flower girl and she was completely tuckered out. She looks so angelic snuggled up in her car seat.

Jasmine and Ryan, congratulations to you! Many blessings to you and your marriage!
