Maggie and Joe’s Washington DC Wedding

Michael — Mon, 07 May 2012 00:46:07 +0000

Maggie and Joe’s wedding in DC was such a blast. You may remember Regina and Brad’s Wedding we did back in the fall. Well, Regina and Brad were friends with Maggie and Joe, so naturally they connected me to them, and the rest is history.

Maggie and Joe got ready at the Willard Hotel in DC with a ceremony and reception to follow at the Women’s Art Museum. Being at this wedding was a pleasure because their was so much love there for them. The toasts, the atmosphere, you felt like you were a part of something truly special. Enjoy this snapshot from the day. Congrats Maggie and Joe, I wish you the best!

Oh, and Maggie and Joe did a “First-Almost-Look.” What is that? You have go to see. Check it out here. And if you are a couple who wants to stick to tradition, but likes the “First Look” option, this is a GREAT compromise.

Sophia and Mike’s Sequoia Wedding in DC

Ok, so up next is Sophia and Mike’s epic Georgetown Wedding. I have to apologize because i’ve been so behind with blogging. With shooting every weekend, and the holidays quickly approaching, it gets the back seat sometime. But, here I am regardless!

Sophia and Mike’s Wedding was such a blast. It was one of those all day events, that started early in the morning, and went through midnight. By the end of it you feel so exhausted, and at the same time sad, because you don’t want it to end.

I must say that the highlight of the day was the reception at the Sequoia. The lights, the water, the boats, it was awesome. And to top it off, Sophia and Mike had a dance number with the bridal party that was KILLER. If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, then let it load, and jump to the 10:53 mark, you won’t be disappointed.

Regina and Brad’s Georgetown Wedding

Regina and Brad’s Wedding was such a treat. After the ceremony at Holy Trinity in DC, we spent some time walking around the church, and got some great shots. We then headed to the Bensten Residence where the cocktail and reception was held. Regina and Brad had a super classy, backyard wedding and a performance by Regina’s Dad that made the night so much fun. Congrats Regina and Brad!

Michelle and Clay’s Washington DC Wedding

Michelle and Clay were an absolute blast to work with. I had the privilege of spending the first few hours of the day with Michelle as she got ready at the Hotel Monaco. The Monaco offers so many great video and photo opportunities, as well as giving you a great space to spend time in while preparing for your wedding day.

Michelle and Clay also took advantage of the city and spent a few hours immediately after the ceremony to take a series of photos at different locations. I would have to say that spending this amount of time with the couple is not only always the highlight of my day, but it also allows for so many great opportunities for photo and video. Hint Hint brides This was my second time shooting a reception at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and it once again proved to be perfect.

Music: Keane “Better Than This” and Phoenix “Consolation Prizes”

Greg Gibson was there doing the photography, and i’ve included some of his photos below.

Justine and Gary were so much fun to work with. Since Justine is a wedding photographer herself, their was so much about this wedding that was planned from the perspective of someone who truly knows how to pay attention to the details.

The wedding took place at the Halcyon House in Washington DC, and it couldn’t have been a more amazing spot. Below the video I left some photos from the wedding by Greg Gibson Photography. The video still is also a photo from Greg Gibson. Be sure to see the rest of the photos on Greg’s blog by clicking here.
