Chelsea + Dan | Blind Whino wedding reception

The people that matter the most in your life should be there to celebrate [and dance] with you on your special day.

What can we say about Chelsea and Dan, and their families? A-MAZING! This was unlike any other wedding we've done because there was no ceremony, it was just a fun party with great people! A few weeks prior, they had a small ceremony with a small group of their closest. Though it was just a reception-wedding, we did get to spend several hours with them including getting ready where we met the famous Piper, their labradoodle.

The Blind Whino is where they chose to have their party and an amazing party it was. Thankfully we had a great team to put everything together with Lee of Elizabeth Bailey Weddings coordinating it all.

Lauren + Dean | Longview Gallery Wedding

Such great memories from Lauren and Deans wedding! We instantly connected with them from the first client meeting and knew after their amazing engagement session that the wedding would be one to remember.  So many smiles, tender moments and a pretty epic reception complete with flying dollar bills, empanadas, a ukulele, and Greek traditions.

Tamara + Anthony | Fathom Gallery, DC

I met Tamara and Anthony through a good friend and we instantly hit it off during our first call. Their small and intimate wedding had all the ingredients of a perfect wedding and in many ways felt close to the heart like ours. One very cool fact is that Tamara designed her dress and it was made by TingBridal in Georgetown.

On the rare occasion Kristiaan and I will shoot wedding separately, but its actually really hard because we miss the other so much :) For Tamara and Anthony's wedding it was photographed by Lionel.

From our bride Tamara:

The Best Gift we received for our Wedding where our pictures!!! We were absolutely speechless when Lionel sent us our pictures. Lionel truly has a GIFT!! He was able to capture the essence of who we are and represented us through every shot. Our WEDDING day memories are everlasting and amazing.

Every time we look at the pictures they bring back the feelings we had that day. Thank you for this priceless gift. Lionel went above and beyond and did such a fabulous job, you are the BEST ever and we LOVE you...

Anyone that has the opportunity to work with Lionel can call themselves lucky.

The FATHOM GALLERY, was the most unique and beautiful setting. Since neither of us are traditional in any way, we felt this venue was the perfect space for our wedding.

It is modern, sophisticated and romantic.

From it's surrounding landscape one could never guess what awaits them once you walk up the stairs. I'm so glad we found this location and we were able to have our wedding at Fathom Gallery. The staff was fantastic. And it was a pleasure working with Timur and Emily. Thank you for helping us bring it all together.

TING BRIDAL, I was so lucky to find Ting , she was such a joy to work with. Most designers I tried collaborating with told me the vision I had for my dress was complicated however together Ting and I were able to create the dress of my dreams.
