The LDS Philadelphia Temple shines bright in the City of Brotherly Love!  I had the pleasure of photographing Simmandi and Kyle’s temple sealing on a VERY hot July day!  The temps reached  the mid 90s and their friends and family stuck it out for the happy couple!

I know this is old news, but I am just getting around to talking about it because I didn’t know how to process it!  It was announced in February of 2017 that the Washington DC Temple would be closing for 2 years for extensive renovations.  I was shocked.  I was sad.

The Washington DC LDS Temple closed for renovations on March 3, 2018.  Since it was the last time it would be open for two years, it was a very busy day on temple grounds.  I had the opportunity to photograph TWO weddings that day!  I have never seen the parking lot as full as it was that day!    It was a blustery cold day, but Steven and Janette brought their A game!
