JAMAICA!!!

I had the honor to work with Sarah, Todd and their families for a little over a year in planning this INCREDIBLE wedding weekend at Round Hill in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Round Hill Resort & Villas is the perfect location for a destination wedding. Not only was it insanely picturesque but the staff at the hotel and the vendors they hired were very detailed and dependable. The bride & groom used a pineapple motif and pink and orange colors through out their invitations and all of their on-site paper products-- the welcome letters for their guests, menu cards, programs and more. The guests spent their days laying on the beach, water skiing, sailing the resorts glass bottom boat, etc. and their evenings celebrating Sarah & Todd. It was a wedding their guests (and I!) will never forget.

St. John's + The Fairfax, Embassy Row

To me this wedding is "classic Washington"... the St. John's Church ceremony, the simple yet stunning details, gold accents, ornate chandeliers, a classic car... I could go on and on.

A very sweet father, daughter moment just before the ceremony began.

An amazing cake to mirror the design of Hilary's dress... by Fluffy Thoughts

Guests were welcomed to their seats with Historical Chocolates in gold boxes with ivory ribbons complimenting the ornate gold rimmed chargers and champagne flutes. The black chivari chairs and pintucked black linens were a beautiful contrast to the ivory and gold.

The dance floor was packed ALLLL night long thanks to their amazing band, Spectrum.

Congratulations Hilary & Noah!

Lynley & Matt

St. Alban's & Old Ebbitt Grill

I have to say, I think the Bishop's Garden at the National Cathedral might be the ultimate place for wedding portraits. Lynley & Matt are the definition of a fun loving couple. They are silly and sweet. Take a look at these incredible photos by Rachel Naft of RMN Photography and you will see what I mean. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your big day!

Congratulations on a spectacular evening!
