Real Wedding by Andrew Reilly

We’re kicking off a fantastic week here on District Weddings!  After a crazy couple of days, we’re back on track with lots to share.

First up, a Real Wedding sent to us by none other than Andrew Reilly.  If you’ve checked in with us before, you’ve probably heard about our obsession with Andrew.  He is a wedding photographer with an artistic edge.  His photos are, well, brilliant.  And, he just may be the nicest guy around.

Amir and Subha were married on May 23, 2009 at The Hay-Adams Hotel.  Their ceremony was held in the John-Hay Room, with cocktails, dinner, and dancing held on the roof of the hotel overlooking the White House.  Here’s the first rounds of photos… More to come in a bit!

Real Wedding: Angie and Ezra, Part II

Angie and Ezra were married on May 30, 2009 at The Hay-Adams Hotel.  Besides being the sweetest bride around, Angie is also drop-dead gorgeous and extremely photogenic (you may have noticed).

Aimee Dominick, of A. Dominick Events, pulled together an amazing event and, in her own super-talented way, accounted for every single teeny, tiny detail.  Lucky for us, photographer Andrew Reilly was on hand to capture the magic.

Amazing, right?  Not only was the wedding incredibly beautiful, but it was also extremely fun. Yes, that was an ice luge.  And yes, that was a Beatles cover band flown in for the occasion!  Planner Aimee Dominick knows how to throw a show-stopping party!

In fact, I was just over at The Hay-Adams, and they are STILL talking about this fabulous wedding!

A HUGE thanks to Andrew Reilly for sending us these unbelievable photos.  For hours of browsing fun, check out Andrew’s blog!
