Omni Shoreham Wedding

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy long weekend! Since we didn’t get to post a Real Wedding yesterday, we are going to share this beautiful celebration with you today. Thanks to the 0h-so-talented photographer Michael Bonfigli for the pictures!

Alex and Aisha’s wedding can be explained in three words: classic, romantic, and sophisticated. Alex, a “true prince charming,” proposed to Aisha in front of her favorite place on earth – Cinderella’s Castle in Disney World… what a wonderful true, fairytale wedding story. The couple continued this theme of glamour, elegance, and romance at the wedding, though from a more grownup angle – classic Hollywood.

Real Wedding: Nicole and Dan

With Thanksgiving just a few days away,  I have to admit that I am already looking forward to the holidays!  Today’s wedding took place last December at the University Club and has such festive details. As always, Stephen Bobb of Love Life Images has captured each element of the event impeccably.

This fabulous wedding was coordinated by Sara Muchnick of Engaging Affairs. Simply said – I LOVE it!

Real Wedding from Love Life Images, Inc.

This wedding just has to be one of the coolest weddings I’ve ever seen. From the flowers, to the venue, to the food, everything was so chic, so modern, so beautiful.

Tiwi and Bryce were married on June 27, 2009 at the Newseum. Mary Gardella, of the oh-so-fabulous Love Life Images, Inc (a District Favorite!), sent us these ridiculous pictures. One glance and you’ll see why she’s one of our faves!

Here’s Mary…

Kudos to Event Planner Amy Guthridge, of Engaging Affairs, for her incredible vision.   Every detail was amazing.   It was like visual overload.  And the Newseum is my new favorite venue to photograph in. I have this secret obsession with reflective surfaces, and well, I was in my own little heaven at the Newseum. It’s nothing but glass.

The ceremony took place on the 8th floor deck of the Newseum Building with a breathtaking view of the city skyline with a gorgeous day to boot.  The reception was in a room surrounded by glass on three sides.  So, I was in photography bliss with such beautiful light.  And when the sun set, the special lighting brought in by John Farr Lighting gave the room warm glow of blues and purples.  Just gorgeous.   The music was fab, especially when they brought in guest DJ Dan Sampson to finish off the night. Outside, guests enjoyed a beautiful evening on the 6th floor deck and if you were in the mood for a handmade cigar, The New England Cigar Factory was on hand to fulfill that need.

The flowers by Volanni were absolutely stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many orchids in all my life. Even the cake, by Sylvia Weinstock, had these amazing sugared Orchids. They looked so incredibly real.

Thanks, Mary!  These photos are amazing.
