Liji and Sean had such a colorful wedding in pink and orange at the Mt. Airy Mansion in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The lighting and candle light gave an elegant glow throughout the entire house. The tall centerpieces were gorgeous and had large pink hydrangeas, roses, calla lilies and orchids.

Sabrina and Rob’s wedding was an experience no one could forget. No matter how creative or organized one is, nobody can stop Mother Nature and illness; a bride’s two worst nightmares. However, not a soul could have handled it better than this loving and relaxed couple. The morning of the wedding, Sabrina fell so ill from food poising that it kept her from having the strength to get ready for her own wedding. To add to the complications, the couple had planned on having their ceremony outside on the beautiful steps of the Jefferson Memorial, but the chance of rain was 100% with no signs of stopping. Her close family and friends were busy by her side coaxing her back to good health. With the help of Rachel Naft of RMN Photography the couple had a beautiful ceremony at Union Station (since they had a D.C. marriage license) and then went back to the Crown Plaza, in Silver Spring, Maryland for the ceremony for their guests and the reception. The impressive flowers were designed by the bride and put together with the help of a volunteer association and Diamond Events. The Groom even set up the lights himself, which were rented from Atmosphere Lighting and really enhanced the room. The DJ, Tony Gaetano of Black Tie DJ’s got the party started with fun music and amusing props for the bridal party to wear. To top the night off, the decorative and delicious candy bar opened for the guest’s to take home a box of their favorite goodies. There was nothing stopping this couple from getting married. They shall love each other in sickness or in health, rain or shine. Sabrina and Rob, you were a true joy to work with.

The weather the week before the wedding had been unusually rainy and cold for October in Washington D.C. and that Saturday the constant rain didn’t let up for even a second, but you would have never had known by looking at Susan and Tom’s face. The couple chose St. Mary’s Catholic Church in historic downtown Alexandria, Virginia to hold their ceremony, a beautiful church with arched ceilings and stained glass windows. Afterwards guests travelled to the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center on the Potomac River in National Harbor, Maryland right outside of Washington D.C. The reception was held at the Moon Bay Restaurant in the atrium of the Gaylord. The wedding party crossed over the bridge to make their grand entrance. Guests then found their place card votive and made their way to their seats. Gorgeous floral arrangements were designed by Belinda Cooper of Floral Society and the scrumptious cake was made by Alexandria Pastry Shop. Guests were treated to a delicious dinner buffet, endless sides, salmon, filet, lobster, and chicken, there was something to please the taste buds of each guest. Pat Curran of Davis DeeJay’s did a great job keeping the reception flowing and getting everyone on the dance floor. At the end of the night the festivities continued to the rooftop, Pose Lounge and Nightclub. Congrats Susan and Tom, thanks for sharing your day with us!

The view for Lindsey and Drew’s wedding was amazing. The soothing sounds of sailboat lines clanking against their mast and a cool September breeze blowing through the air, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The couple picked Port Annapolis Marina to host their ceremony and reception. Located in Annapolis, Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay, the marina offers an intimate ceremony area and pavilion with striking views of the waterfront. Before the wedding the couple got to take pictures at the nearby Quiet Waters Park with photographers Andrew and Carrisa Gallo, who were great to work with and we look forward to posting some of their pictures soon!
For the reception table numbers, the couple chose movie titles (mostly Alfred Hitchcock of course) since Drew works in film. The centerpieces were simple yet elegant and put together by the bride herself. For dinner guests enjoyed a delicious buffet by Bill’s Seafood and Catering, specialty martinis and a variety of cupcakes for dessert. As guests danced the night away, paper lanterns lit the ceiling with a warm glow.

Zoya and Sieam married at the beautiful Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville, Maryland. The weather was warm with not a rain cloud in site. Family arrived at the mansion and began mingling throughout the house before making their way to the fountain courtyard, a beautiful outdoor setting for a ceremony. Bridesmaids carried pink parasols and the flower girls chanted “the bride is coming” before Zoya made her way down the steps into the courtyard.
After the ceremony, guests moved into the mansion’s atrium for the reception. R&R catering provided a delicious dinner for everyone and guests danced the evening away to DJ Khahlil. A picture perfect ending!
