Jan & Rock were married on a beautiful day in August at Western Presbyterian Church in Washington DC. The guests were transported to the beautiful Daughters of the American Revolution for the reception. The cocktail hour was healed in the foyer while the guests listened to live music. The ballroom looked stunning with chocolate colored lines and tall orchid sprays on the tables which complimented the already elegant room. After dinner, guests danced and mingled on the portico and took photos with the Washington Monument as the back drop. Thanks to Tom and Ashlee of Documentary Associates for these beautiful photos and congrats to Jan & Rock!

Robert & Mark – A Gentleman’s Urban Evening

Robert and Mark were married on August 21 in the outdoor space of the Longview Art Gallery in DC. They got ready in their matching summer suits at home, which is just a few blocks away. The ceremony was, as most would expect, somewhat untraditional as the grooms walked down the aisle together with their dog Cooper. Being that this was two gentlemen getting married, we really wanted the look and feel to be different. Elegant, modern and visually stimulating. For the reception, we decided to use square and rectangle tables and masculine colors…..chocolate brown and elegant silvery blue. The tables were decorated with white square plates, matching menu card and a single fiddlehead fern at each place setting. White flowers, lots of candles and blue up-lights softened the room while making it look modern. Even though the room looked fabulous, the key element to the day was the obvious unwavering love and support that everyone has for Robert and Mark. The room was filled with love, love, love and non-stop celebrating. I am proud and feel very lucky to have been part of their day and wish them again, congratulations!!

A big thanks to Moshe Zusman for these amazing photos!

Roshan & Ale – How Sweet It Is

Roshan and Ale have been one of the best couples I have worked with yet. Not only are they the nicest people, but they are so in love and have a general love of life. Both are always smiling and it is a joy to be around them. I was thrilled to hear her colors were fuchsia and bright orange which fits perfectly with their theme of ‘Love is Sweet’. Ale wanted a venue that was nothing less then amazing. We ended up at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium for their reception and the festive tones added to the celebration. To back up a bit, they were married at St. Stephen Martyr on Pennsylvania Ave which is a hidden gem of a church. All the ladies’ bouquets had some sweets incorporated in and the bright colors looked fabulous. For the main event, the bride walked down the aisle with her father as the Steele Drums played ‘Ave Maria’. Back at the reception, the guests dined on a mix of traditional Columbian and Trinidadian appetizers with an American dinner. Once dancing started, it didn’t stop. Guests took short breaks to sit in the lounge or grab another drink at the hot pink glowing bar.

Congratulations Roshan and Ale!!!

Thank you so much to Procopio Photography for these AMAZING photos !

Newlyweds Brittany & Nick are also new doctors. Just a few weeks before their nuptials, they both graduated medical school, bought a new house, new car and finally after dating for several years, were ready to get married. The ceremony was at the stunning Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown with an elegant reception at the Fairmont. The bride’s colors of apple green and purple looked fabulous in the ballroom.
