A Meridian Wedding

By Matt Mendelsohn | VOWS | June 11, 2012

Okay, so I lied. I promised that by this time we'd have a new website/blog in operation but you what what happens to best laid plans. Hopefully by this time next month we'll be a little closer to that goal. And so we beat on, as F. Scott, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Our past today involves the Iverson family. Seven or so years ago, on a brutally hot day if I recall correctly, I photographed Becca Iverson's wedding at the National Cathedral. It was a beautiful affair, with a reception at the Museum of Women in the Arts.

This past January I had the pleasure of shooting another Iverson wedding, this time the marriage of Becca's sister Margot to Joshua White. Winter had replaced the summer heat, but the cast of characters all remained familiar. (Except that Becca now has a beautiful baby girl.)

Josh and Margot were married in the Bethlehem Chapel at the Cathedral. Before heading down though, I searched quickly for a spot that had the two ingredients for a great cathedral photograph: a) light and b) no tourists. It's harder than you might imagine. But judging from the picture that sits atop this page, I'm rather pleased with the result. :)
