Debbie and Art’s Multi-cultural Virginia Wedding

Debbie and Art were married in three different cultures with three separate and beautiful ceremonies. It’s enough for some couples to get through one ceremony, but they handled all three with such grace under pressure. It was probably the largest wedding I’ve ever photographed and we had a very busy day! Congrats to Debbie and Art and much luck to you both.

Off to Georgetown for some portraits at Art’s alma matter:
