Woodend Sanctuary Wedding

Categories: Garden Whimsical, Planning & Ideas December 28, 2009 / Danielle Freedman

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: Angie and Ezra, Part I

Categories: Big City Chic June 24, 2009 / Devon Pearce

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: The Hay-Adams Hotel III

Categories: Boutique Hotels, Traditional Timeless January 19, 2009 / Devon Pearce

One of the biggest advantages of having a wedding at The Hay-Adams is using the rooftop for a ceremony or cocktail reception.  One look at the picture below and you will see why.  The photo was taken without a zoom lens.  That is the real view from the rooftop — a completely unobstructed bird’s-eye view of The White House.  This view is so impressive that wedding planner Aimee Dominick begins bringing guests down from the rooftop 20 minutes ahead of schedule because no one want to leave the gorgeous view! 

The rooftop view isn’t the only advantage of having a wedding at The Hay-Adams.  The food, service, and ballroom are just as amazing.  The golden sunlight of the rooftop contrasted against the deep reds of the ballroom–this hotel is quintessentially autumn in D.C.

Did you see the beautiful red cherry blossom programs that doubled as escort cards?  They were designed by nationally-known invitation artist, Cheree Berry.  On the inside cover of each calligraphed program is the guests’ table number.  Such a cute and practical idea!  

Although Cheree Berry Paper is based out of St. Louis, she might as well be a D.C. vendor.  She conducts consultations over the phone and sends proofs via e-mail.  Not to mention, she ships directly to you, or to your calligrapher.  All reasons why Modern Bride named her one of the top 25 Wedding Trendsetters of 2008!  I am especially indebted to Cheree, as she designed the beautiful District Weddings logo.  When you have a minute, check out her site.  Her designs never cease to amaze me.

Real Wedding: The Hay-Adams Hotel II

Categories: Boutique Hotels, Traditional Timeless January 19, 2009 / Devon Pearce

One of my favorite things about having a wedding at The Hay-Adams is the fabulous outdoor scenery that provides such a dramatic photo backdrop.  Andrew Reilly not only used the beautiful buildings, but also the lush greenery surrounding the hotel to capture these fantastic shots of the wedding party.  And how fun is this crowd?!?  I love the individual photos that Andrew took of each bridesmaid and groomsman.  

Katie and Mark chose to have their ceremony in a church in Georgetown.  An added bonus — unique modern shots of their wedding party set against a lovely historic backdrop.

I love fall weddings.  The colors, the leaves, the crisp air… We are so lucky to have a wonderful fall season in D.C.  It is a perfect time for weddings in our area.

Coming up — pictures from the rooftop cocktail reception and the stunning ballroom.  Wait ’til you see the view from the roof of The Hay-Adams.  Breathtaking.
