Lisa + Jon : Whitehall Manor Wedding

Lisa and Jon were married at Whitehall Manor on a beautiful yet stormy Sunday. I’ll admit I think everyone worried what the weather would pass.  As Jon arrived that afternoon a big storm rolled in and forced us all to take shelter inside.  Lisa arrived shortly after while it was still raining outside.  But the storm didn’t ruin the day as it past pretty quickly and cooled things down which allowed these two to have a stunning Whitehall Manor ceremony outside. Although they lost power and it was never restored, there was still dancing, laughter, joy and tears of happiness. One of Lisa’s sisters gave a very emotional maid of honor speech and this was a wedding to be remembered forever.

Lisa and Jon have dated a very long time before they were married and it was great to see such love and respect for each other.  As they take their next journey in life to a new home and a new state, we wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Kelly + Drew married : Hyatt Regency Reston Wedding

Kelly and Drew had a beautiful wedding full of laughter and tears of joy at the Hyatt Regency Reston. These two are entertaining to hang out with and we felt more like old friends then the peeps with the cameras.  There was lots of clowning around during formals and they even had a stalker that seemed to have nothing better to do with his day but attempt to assist for all the before and after ceremony pictures.

Kelly and Drew complete each other and it’s pretty neat that somehow through all the people in this world they were able to find each other. 

Below are a few highlights from their day and the vendors that helped rock this wedding out.

Sarah + West : Married in Old Town Alexandria

Sarah and West were married in June on the Potomac River followed up by the Reception at Hilton in Old Town Alexandria. Despite the heat these two had the perfect location for a intimate wedding. One of our most favorite parts of the wedding is the moments between Father and Daughter. I think this wedding defiantly had the emotion (and some anxiety) but it was all let go of on the dance floor that night. It was one of the weddings I was looking forward to and enjoyed seeing some old faces and new ones! Congrats to you both!

Joey + Tammi Old Town Alexandria Elopement

When Tammi called me to see if I did elopements I just couldn’t resist.  Joey is stationed here with the Air Force and Tammi is currently living in Texas.  They’re just beyond cute and so in love.  To be a witness to their ceremony at the courthouse was beyond touching and an honor.  I really enjoyed going around Old Town and being creative with these two.  Congrats and I am beyond thrilled for both of you.
