The stars were aligned for this June 5 wedding, as the rain held out and everything came together perfectly for the wonderful celebration of Liz and Chris’ wedding.  They met up before the ceremony at St. Albans to take some time for pictures with family and friends in the lovely Bishop’s Garden between St. Albans and the National Cathedral.  Then, after a quick cool down from the 90+ degree weather, they met at the altar to exchange vows in the historic church.  Guests were then whisked away to the prestigious Cosmos Club, where they enjoyed a scrumptious meal and then danced the night away.  It was a pleasure for Chantal to get to know Liz, Chris and Liz’s mom Pat and we all wish you all the best with the next chapter of your lives!  A big thanks to Tony from Imijination Photography for these great photos!

Amy and Rene’s love was witnessed by 45 of their closest friends and family as they celebrated in the intimate Nest at the historic Willard hotel.  Chantal was thrilled to be a part of their special day as they exchanged vows in front of their good friend (and amazing dancer) Evan before enjoying a delectable meal complete with German sauerbraten and spaetzel, a tribute to Rene’s German heritage.  They then danced and waltzed the night away. Greenworks did an amazing job with the flowers and a HUGE thanks to Eli Turner from Freed Photography for these amazing shots!

Chantal had the pleasure of working with Kristin and Brent on their April 17th wedding where cherry blossoms were also featured across town at the Walker Chapel United Methodist Church and the Washington Golf Country Club.  The bride glowed from head to toe and the groom was overwhelmed with joy as they said their “I Do’s” and then headed over to the country club for some delicious food, stunning views of the city and a packed dance floor.  The groom’s idea of tall cherry blossom branches filled the room nicely and their color coordinated candy bar was also a big hit!  Thanks to Maria Vicencio for these lovely pics and a big congratulations to Kristin and Brent who are so sweet and adorable!

Roshan and Ale took time out with their photographers, Procopio Photography, for a fabulous engagement session in DC. The theme of their August 7 wedding is ‘Love is Sweet’ and yes, candy will be incorporated throughout! For their wedding, we chose the Andrew Mellon Auditorium and we will be modernizing it a bit with a round bar, lounge furniture and hot pink and tangerine up lights – perfect for the such a festive occasion!

Cherry blossoms were definitely in full bloom for Matt and Melissa’s April 17^th wedding. From the stunning centerpieces to the elegant (and delicious) 4 tier wedding cake the blossoms highlighted the soft tones of the ballroom at Belmont Country Club lending to the elegant spring theme the bride hoped for. Earlier in the afternoon the couple was married at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church in Sterling. A special thanks to jan michele photography for the beautiful photos!

Congrats to Melissa and Matt!
