When photographer Garrett Hubbard sent me this wedding, I knew that I had to get it up ASAP! The Omni Shoreham Hotel has fabulous outdoor and indoor space – one of the few in the District – and the photographs from this celebration are simply wonderful.
Grace Park and Daniel Suh were married just this past May. They are one of those couples whose excitement you can absolutely feel right through the photos – I am gushing!
If you need a little pick-me-up this Monday morning, then Claire and Jason’s wedding is sure to do the trick! A stunning bride, a dashing groom, fantastic style with personal details — what an incredible day!
Before we get to today’s Real Wedding, I wanted to tell you about the 5th Annual Hitched Dress Drive to benefit Princess for a Night.
Beginning April 1st, and continuing throughout the month, Hitched invites you to stop by the salon to donate your gently worn (and dry cleaned) bridesmaid dresses (in all sizes!) that will go to students in our community. Due to the great expense of prom dresses, these girls might otherwise not be able to afford a dress for this special night.

Today’s Real Wedding is a fabulous example of a traditional wedding with flair. Mindy and Eric were married at St. Matthew’s Cathedral, followed by a reception at the St. Regis. The bride and groom described their wedding planning experience with Simply Chic Events as “fun and stress-free”, which is apparent in the photographs by Holland Photo Arts of this beautifully executed event.
Today’s wedding truly “wowed” me – a beautiful bride, a handsome groom, an incredible ceremony, a fantastic venue — what more could we ask for on this Monday?! The talented Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images captured this day, planned by the adorable and thoughtful Jamie Sears of Simply Chic Events.
Jamie Sears, owner of Simply Chic Events, one of our Favorite planners in town, worked with Melissa and Wilson to design their jaw-dropping wedding this past fall.
The ceremony took place at Holy Rosary Church, one of the most historic and beautiful churches in DC.
After the breathtaking ceremony, guests moved to DAR, for social cocktails and an elegant dinner.
I absolutely love the groom’s cake, as a take on the movie Cast Away and the groom’s name, Wilson. Such creativity by Fluffy Thoughts!
Here are some of the stunning details that set this wedding apart from the rest! Oo-la-la! Photographer Jennifer Hughes did a fabulous job capturing the celebration.
