Stephanie & Brian | DAR DC wedding

Why do we love what we do? Because we are not just hired to photograph weddings but also to be artists. Whether its emotional, compositional, journalistic, abstract or simply creative we love that our clients hire us because they trust our vision and our abilities. As I put this set together for the blog I was looking at our images and just appreciated so many different things about them. They are thoughtful and tell the story the way we remembered it. 

Stephanie and Brian's wedding was full of emotion throughout the day. It started with nerves from everyone because of the the possibility of rain. There was a collective wanting for Stephanie's brother who was deployed overseas and unable to attend. Though facetime came in handy several times throughout the day at key moments. There were a lot of smiles and happy people. There was joy and friends. Oh and just because we love them so much, we met Stephanie and Brian at Lauren and Dean's wedding a fews years back! And Lauren was the Day-of Coodinator with their good friend Kaycia!

James + Brad | D.A.R. Wedding

Details from our wonderful groom Brad: Venue location: Daughters of the American Revolution Hall: A beautiful location for our special day. It was warm and inviting. We chose the outdoor space under the portico and could not have been happier. Catering, Cake etc: Susan Gage Catering: Fantastic service and professionalism. We were utterly surprised the food was better than on tasting day. We enjoyed working with Amber and head server Brian from Susan Gage Catering. Even still, Susan Gage worked very very hard to make sure our day went off smoothly and memorable. Since the wedding, we have used Susan Gage for other corporate and personal events. Highly Highly recommend. Florist:  Jack Lucky Ceremony music: Marlissa Hudson, Soprano: Absolute professionalism and artistry. Her classically trained voice wowed our guests and the folks walking past! The Cherry Blossom Quartet: Excellent playing and musicianship. Professional and courteous. Their repertoire is vast and they are also open to learn new pieces for any occasion. Stationary: Digby & Rose, Design & Print Studio (Invitations): We were so thankful to have such beautiful personally designed invitations. We worked very hard on getting all the details just right. Digby & Rose made that happen!. I've been to many of our guests homes after the wedding and notice that some folks have chosen to frame and display their invitations like works of art! Calligraphy: Just Write Studio, Calligraphy & Engraving : An excellent touch to our mailed invitations. Highly recommend. Punctual and professional!
