Early Summer Washington DC Wedding

Weddings

A Fairytale Washington DC Wedding Story

This Washington DC wedding was an absolute dream. I know the Royals live in England, but if they lived in Washington DC, it would be these two. These two are the embodiment of classy, elegant, and romantic. I first met these clients after a fellow photographer posted a request for a proposal shoot at Taughannock Falls near Ithaca, NY. After some behind-the-scenes planning, we made the game plan for the big surprise. The proposal on that December day was absolutely breathtaking; he is a true visionary! After returning their photos, I was so honored when they asked me to shoot their DC wedding the following year. Not only was I fortunate enough to shoot their most important life events, I also gained two forever friends!

Cinderella and Prince Charming

Every detail about this DC wedding encompasses a fairytale love story. The girls got dolled up at the Conrad Hotel Washington, a DC must-visit. Her bridesmaids dressed in a captivating rose color with dusty blue details, also reflected in the bride’s bouquet. They each chose a boujee shoe for their special day: the bride in white Jimmy Choo kitten heels and the groom in velvet Gucci loafers. On the other side of town, the groom and his boys suited up at this enchanting downtown DC Airbnb. He accessorized with a classic leather watch and modern bowtie. I mean, these detail photos serve as a complete Pinterest board for any Washington DC bride.

Two DC Wedding Ceremonies are Better Than One

Both of these two agree: two is better than one, especially when it comes to wedding ceremonies. The two welcomed immediate family for an intimate coptic ceremony at St. Luke Serbian Orthodox Church in Potomac, Maryland. Can we talk about the ceilings in this place? True artistry!

A Double Knotted DC Wedding

To make sure their knot was tied tight, they celebrated their love with a second ceremony at Herrington on the Bay in North Beach, Maryland. Herrington is a Polynesian-themed venue with a beautiful waterfront ceremony spot and pier. In order to spice the second ceremony up, she surprised him with a second wedding dress. He was speechless! It’s still up for debate whether it was the dress or the woman wearing it; both are pretty great.

The “I Do” Crew

Herrington’s pier was the perfect spot for shooting the “I Do” Crew. With the clean landscape of the bay and elongated rustic deck, we were able to make some wedding photo magic! Not to mention, the wind was a paid actor on this day. Everyone had that wind-blown look!

‘Til Death Do We Party

No Washington DC wedding would be complete without some drinks and dancing! Their first dance song was one of my favorites: “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne. And I should mention, they killed their dance! You’d think they choreographed it. To end the night, they their time on the dance floor surrounded with friends and family. A perfect end to this fairytale Washington DC wedding!
