Joyce and Nicholas – Washington, DC

Joyce and Nicholas were married in a beautifully traditional ceremony combining Filipino and Cuban traditions at The Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle. Prior to the ceremony Joyce enjoyed relaxing with her bridesmaids at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Giselle of Hair by Giselle styled Joyce’s hair while Kim of Beauty Mark provided her makeup. In addition to adorning Joyce with a diamond necklace and matching earrings, Greg Jezarian created custom race car cuff links, a gift from Joyce to Nick for their wedding. Following the ceremony we headed over to the Lincoln Memorial for some great group shots of the wedding party before returning to the Mandarin Oriental for an amazing reception. Dominic and Patrick from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel were great to work with. We always enjoy taking photos of the stunning ballroom decor provided by Capital Decor and Events and this was no exception. All the guests including the bride and groom had a blast creating their own photographs in our photo booth, while we enjoyed capturing some romantic images of the couple later in the evening. Thank you to Joyce and Nicholas for letting us be a part of your wedding!

Saratoga Springs, NY – Wedding of Nicolette & Dan

This past May we had the opportunity to go to Saratoga Srings, in NY to photograph a really cool and wonderful couple, Nicolette & Dan.

We had a great time getting to know their families and working with them. Both of their families made us feel like a part of them and that means a lot to us. It does change the dynamics of our work and it becomes much more personal and engaging. And we can do a lot more!

The location of the wedding was at the old Canfield Casino, it has a beautiful park and fountain. It is really a pretty place. Actually all of Saratoga Springs was beautiful!

Thank you Nicolette & Dan for taking us to Saratoga and sharing your wedding day with us. I personally had a GREAT time and I’m looking forward in making a one of a kind album for you.

I hope to see you soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy this photos!

Sarah and Gerard-Chesapeake Beach, MD

We recently had a chance to get out of the city and travel east to Chesapeake Beach to photograph Sarah and Gerard’s wedding. What a beautiful day and a the perfect setting for a summer wedding! Sarah and Gerard got ready at the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa.  The harbor side hotel has a beautiful view of the water and we all enjoyed listening to the band from the restaurant play as we took a few shots of the bride and groom before heading over to the ceremony location. The ceremony was held in the breathtaking Polynesian Bridal Lawn at Herrington on the Bay. The serene atmosphere was complimented by beautiful music from the St. Charles String Quartet. After the ceremony guests were able to walk to the nearby Paradise Ballroom for the reception. The open air ballroom was beautifully decorated with flowers by Eufloria, and lighting by Perkins Productions. Music Masters provided some great music for the party. The beautiful event was organized by Beth Bailey of Elizabeth Bailey Weddings. Thank you to Sarah and Gerrard for sharing your day with us!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of photographing Molly and Alec’s wedding. Molly and Alec met in college at the University of Richmond and have been dating for nine years. They are so in love with each other and their happiness made photographing them such a joy. We also really enjoyed getting to know their amazing friends and family who were very excited for the happy couple. As we arrived Giselle from Hair by Giselle was just finishing with Molly in the Linden Room at the Fairmont Hotel. The beautiful and very personal ceremony was held at the Universalist National Memorial Church, and officiated by lifelong family friends of the bride and groom. Following the ceremony we made our way to the the Capitol Building and Union Station for some fun photos with the bridal party, while the guests returned to the beautiful Fairmont Hotel. The reception was held in the beautiful and unique Colonnade Ballroom. Flowers were provided by Yellow Door and the whole event was pulled together by planner Sara Franklin who is always wonderful to work with.
