Today’s wedding truly “wowed” me – a beautiful bride, a handsome groom, an incredible ceremony, a fantastic venue — what more could we ask for on this Monday?! The talented Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images captured this day, planned by the adorable and thoughtful Jamie Sears of Simply Chic Events.
Hello and happy Monday! Today’s Real Wedding from the delightful SoCo Events includes an adorable couple, Bridget and Ryan, an exquisite venue, Andrew Mellon Auditorium, and thoughtful details – now this is the way I like to start my week!
The bride and her ladies look like they are right out of a photo shoot, simply gorgeous. The fabulous Carine’s Bridal Atelier designed custom bridesmaid dresses for each lady, gowns that you could actually wear again after the wedding – crazy, right?!
Jamie Sears, owner of Simply Chic Events, one of our Favorite planners in town, worked with Melissa and Wilson to design their jaw-dropping wedding this past fall.
The ceremony took place at Holy Rosary Church, one of the most historic and beautiful churches in DC.
After the breathtaking ceremony, guests moved to DAR, for social cocktails and an elegant dinner.
I absolutely love the groom’s cake, as a take on the movie Cast Away and the groom’s name, Wilson. Such creativity by Fluffy Thoughts!

Ever since the new W Hotel opened, I have been looking to share a wedding from this fabulous venue. Today, I am thrilled to have an incredible wedding by Wedding Photographer Moshe Zusman.
Julia and Chris are so lovely, the ceremony is so classic, the reception is so hip — all the perfect ingredients for a fabulous affair.
Last June, Devon shared the incredible engagement photos of Kaja and Dan in Union Station. Today, we are lucky enough to see the wedding photographs, also shot by Stephen Bobb at Love Life Images, Inc. After the fun engagement session at Union Station, I knew the wedding would be amazing…and, you will see, it really is!
Kaja wore blue Vera Wang gown. She was stunning. They walked to the ceremony through the streets of Georgetown – how fun!
How fabulously “DC” is this photograph? The ceremony and reception took place in the District’s Zone 2 in Georgetown. This spot is close to where Dan proposed to Kaja not too long ago.
The reception was at the fabulous House of Sweden. How about these beautiful sunset views over the Potomac?
Before the wedding party was announced, the bridal party had fun doodling on this white board.
The House of Sweden has absolutely incredible event space. The design is so sleek and so clean – I just love it.
Here, Kaja and Dan enter from a glass elevator. How cool is this ceiling?!
The party was jumping with tunes from DJ Steve Hoffman from Good Note DJs.
I love the cake by Fluffy Thoughts!
Thank you to Stephen Bobb of Love Life Images and a huge CONGRATS to Kaja and Dan!!
