Elegant Cosmos Club Wedding in Washington, DC

Cordie and Jason officially tied the knot during a gorgeous summer wedding at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC. One of the things I love most about photographing weddings in the District is that no two days are ever quite the same. There’s always a little unpredictability woven into the timeline, and after photographing weddings here for more than a decade, I’ve learned exactly where to build in extra time so couples can simply enjoy their day, even when the unexpected happens.

For Cordie and Jason, that little bit of unpredictability came in the form of Pride Weekend! As people from all over the country gathered to celebrate throughout Washington, DC, roads were closed for the parade and traffic moved at a much slower pace than usual. Fortunately, both the Cosmos Club and St. Matthew’s Cathedral, their ceremony venue, were on the same side of the parade route, which meant we didn’t have to navigate any major road closures. Even so, we planned ahead, building plenty of buffer time into the schedule, and everything stayed right on track. It’s the perfect example of why having an experienced vendor team makes such a difference on a busy wedding day!

One of my favorite parts of the day was hearing about how Cordie and Jason first met while they were in college and how their relationship has continued to grow over the years. It was evident throughout the day that they have built a strong foundation together, surrounded by an incredible group of family and friends who were genuinely excited to celebrate this next chapter alongside them. Their joy was contagious from beginning to end.

Don’t miss their sunset portraits at the Cosmos Club — they are some of my favorite from the entire day!
