There`s a power which comes from being flanked by your friends and relations and loved ones on one of the biggest times of your health, which energy is written throughout the giant smiles on Kennis Hawkins andAndros Zins-Browne’s faces of these Rodney-Bailey-Wedding-Photojournalism-DC. The fact this wedding was set at the bride’s family home in Maryland just can make it a whole lot of sweeter, creating new memories on the same patches of earth where her family has built a lifestyle, spreading joy like rays of sunshine around the lush farmland.

A hot couples’ dance led Kennis into the arms of Andros within their first meeting. The two were paired in an art exhibition in Kassel, Germany, selected to execute a dance piece featuring about 40 other participants. “Well, this is awkward,” both deliberation over their first day's rehearsal, simply because even though they didn’t know one another yet, there is strong mutual attraction. Luckily, smooth moves and love quickly ensued, as well as the duo spent another nine months falling deeply for each other.
