Willard Wedding

Kim Nelson and Jeff Kolar were married at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Washington, DC with the reception in the Willard Room of the historic Willard Hotel.

Paul Morse sent over these fabulous photographs that capture this traditional wedding filled with bits of unexpected flare.

Sara Franklin and Jennifer Jorgenson of Social Scene kept the show running smoothly.

I love the DC-esque pictures of the bridal party — our home is like no where else in the world!

How fun is this escort card display?!

Beautiful towering orchid arrangements by florist John Duffy of Yellow Door.

Woodend Sanctuary Wedding

Jay Premack, one of my absolute favorite photographers (and people) in Washington, photographed Alex and Taylor’s wedding this past September at Woodend Sanctuary.  Jay is such a talented photographer (a District Favorite!) and there is not a single image here that was posed in any way.  Every moment is natural and real, truly capturing the big day.

Aimee Dominick, planner extraordinaire and owner of A. Dominick Events,  pulled together this gorgeous fête.

The picture perfect couple is not only one of the most handsome I have seen, but also are two of the kindest and thoughtful individuals of all time.  They truly deserve each other.

Real Wedding: Julia and Chris at the W Hotel

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.

Real Wedding: Angie and Ezra, Part I

We’re stepping away from our normal routine this week, as we are working on something very big (as we’ve been hinting all week), and it’s been a little distracting.

Here is the first round of photos I promised.  Take them in, then I’ll give you a little insight (and more photos) in a bit.  I’m totally smitten over this wedding.  It just may be my favorite so far this year.

And this is only the first round of pics!  Aren’t you in love already?!?  I know it’s getting late, but I still have more to come!

Real Wedding by the DC Green Wedding Consortium

On January 31, 2009 the Washington DC Green Wedding Consortium announced the winner of a $50,000 green wedding giveaway.  The DC Green Wedding Consortium is comprised of local vendors who make the extra effort to be as eco-friendly as possible.  

Dana and David, the VERY lucky winners of this fabulous giveaway, were married on Earth Day, April 22, at the Stephen Decatur House Museum.  Here are a few of the photos from their special day, generously donated by the members of the DC Green Wedding Consortium…

The wedding was captured by a duo of fabulous photographers — Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images, and Tom Van Veen of Documentary Associates.

How cute is that pedi-cab?  I love it!  During the inauguration madness, I took a pedi-cab from downtown to Georgetown.  Despite the slight chill in the air (the “driver” gave me a sleeping bag to stay warm), I had a very fun time.   I wish we had more pedi-cabs in D.C…  They make for picture-perfect transportation for the bride & groom!

Oh, and I am totally swooning over this wedding cake by Debbie Delardi of Cakes by Design.  

Congratulations, Dana & David!
