Carnegie Institute Wedding

Darius and Marissa were married in December of 2011 at Carnegie Institute with a very soft romantic color palette of purple, white, and silver. These two had gone through a year of ups and downs with family loss that almost made them cancel the wedding all together. However, they were able to rally and to celebrate an amazing night for their guests that was filled with the utmost amount of love.The ceremony in the Rotunda was a celebration of life with personalized readings and laughter that rang throughout the building. The bride’s brother personally etched snowflake ornaments for guests to keep as a favor and tables were named after famous D.C. landmarks like Ben’s Chilli Bowl and the African Art Museum.

This day is a perfect example of what weddings should be all about and I hope you all enjoy it as much as me!! Happy Monday!

After many years of dating and sharing their lives together, Francine and Barry finally decided to officially tie the knot this past October.  They chose a fall date for this intimate celebration centered around friends, family, and food at the Hay-Adams Hotel. Family was very important to this couple; the bride’s nieces served as junior bridesmaids and the groom’s niece sung in the ceremony. The entire affair was full of lovely details -  I hope that you enjoy taking in the images as much as I have!
