One of the great things about shooting with your brother is that you’re allowed to heckle each other. And the “Ethan’s Pants” series began as just that- you can read the full story here. As a way to begin the year with a laugh, for your viewing pleasure I present the entire collection of Ethan’s pants. You’re welcome, and enjoy.

Ahhh the banana yellow pants, the thing that started it all.

This was our first wedding together, before the series was born, hence the fact that I didn’t take an intentional shot of his outfit!

These turtle pants were such a hit that I actually found a photo of Ethan’s butt on Instagram- one of the guests at Claire & Ryan’s wedding decided those pants needed to be immortalized via iPhone.

Kip & Liz had a brunch wedding in DC at Decatur House, so in honor of that, Ethan wore his seersucker, derby-hat–and-cocktails-embroidered pants with a Declaration Of Independence bow tie.

We’ll call this one The Napoleon. Oh, and NBD- this was the wedding when, as we were bidding Bill & Greta good-bye at the end of the night, that Ethan & Bill began to converse fluently in Arabic. This guy is SO smart!

And most famously, his WuTang Clan bow tie. He’s so freaking cool.

This was technically our first wedding of 2016, but he specifically asked I hold off to publish this post until he’d had a chance to wear his custom-made WuTang trousers, embroidered with “C.R.E.A.M.”, or “cash rules everything around me.” Only you, Ethan.

Thanks for the best wedding season ever, Ethan!! I could not have done it without you- I’m so grateful for our laugh-til-it-hurts drives to weddings, for your inexhaustible supply of movie quotes and comedic allusions, and for you ability to make each wedding better than the last one just by being there. I’m going to have a really, really hard time replacing you, hermano!
