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’m always perplexed by a request to describe my style because as a visual artist I want my work to speak for me. So if you couldn’t encounter my photographs with your eyes and your heart, I’d tell you that the base of my style is organic, creative, and fun. I believe that great photography starts with great relationships. I’ve learned this in my career as a professional photojournalist for USA TODAY and found that it also rings true with my wedding stories. The trust and rapport I have with my clients is the foundation from which I build to make beautiful photographs.
What do you find to be most important to capture when covering a wedding?
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.
