District Weddings

Although I am not at all complaining about this gorgeous weather, today’s wedding makes me long for holidays (okay, maybe just a little bit).  With the help of Aimee Dominick, of A.Dominick Events, Carrie and Bobby were married at Dahlgren Chapel, with an incredible reception following at the Halcyon House.  

Garrett Hubbard is the photographer behind these stunning photos.  I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Garrett… Here’s what he had to say…

How would you describe your style?

I am a storyteller at heart. I fill every wedding story I have the opportunity to tell with all the tender, expectant, and spontaneous moments of the day.  I want my photographs to really capture the joy, love, and personalities of the couple. Whether that be through the intricate details of the day or the expression on the grooms face when he sees his bride for the first time, it’s all about capturing the uniqueness of each wedding celebration. I love that wedding storytelling gives me the opportunity to serve my clients based on who they are and how they want to remember their wedding day.  

Amazing pictures, right?  Here’s more from Garrett…

How would you describe the way you work on a wedding day?

I come to every wedding ready to serve my client, their family, and their friends because I am incredibly grateful to be invited into the inner circle of their lives to tell their story. Couples and wedding planners tell me that I am a calming presence, kind and easy going yet hard working. Because of this I think everyone feels at ease around me, which is another building block towards great photographs.  I come to every wedding with a  genuine enthusiasm, eagerness, and passion. By limiting my schedule to only eight weddings each year I can continue to grow in quality and creativity. I don’t want to be the biggest wedding photographer in DC, or receive the most recognition, I just want to be the best for each of my clients.  I want them to relax and have fun on their wedding day knowing that I’m going to take care of them and tell their wedding story the way they want it remembered.

I just love how Aimee Dominick created just a fairy tale setting for this wedding.  As I said, she’s a rockstar.

A huge thanks to Garrett for sending us these fabulous photos!

We are on Day 4 of our Real Weddings week, and we have an extra-special treat today.  

Carrie and Bobby were married last December at the Halcyon House in Georgetown.  The venue, well, it is incredible.  Sadly, they are taking a break from events as the house is currently on the market.  However, even more incredible than the venue?  The team that put together this BREATHTAKING affair.

Let’s start with the planner — A. Dominick Events.  Aimee Dominick is a superstar.  She has this way about her — a way of relating to brides, of making them feel like they are the center of her world, while giving the best advice on all things wedding-related (which later turns into all things life-related, as her brides continue to call her long after their weddings have come and gone).  

Aimee is friendly, easy-to-talk-to, and incredibly organized.  You want to hang out with her.  You want to think of a reason to call her about your wedding.  She is ridiculously talented (just look at the photos below), and she does it all with a bright smile.  So refreshing.  Oh, and as of last night, she’s a new mama.

And then, there’s Garrett Hubbard.  Three words for Garrett… USA TODAY Photographer.  As in, the newspaper USA TODAY.  Yes, he is a star photographer for this national paper, and yes, he will shoot your wedding.  

Garrett’s work is worthy of, well, the pages of a national newspaper.  He’s uber-talented, and very friendly.  He is calming, always reserved, never in-the-way.  I had the pleasure of asking him a few questions about his work — I’m excited to share his answers with you later today.  For now…take in these gorgeous shots….

Pretty great, huh?  Isn’t Carrie GORGEOUS?  She is so cute.  And I LOVE her dress.  The flowing fabric, the beautiful detailing, the sweetheart neckline…it just looks so great on that teeny, tiny body of hers!

There is something magical about December weddings.  There is extra excitement in the air, everyone is in a good mood…it is just a great time to be married.  Carrie and Bobby were married at Dahlgren Chapel on the campus of Georgetown University.  Such a beautiful church…

Can you tell where the bride and her maids waited before the ceremony?  How cute is that picture of Carrie?!?  Garrett Hubbard is so good.  

More to come in a bit!
