Classic Washington DC Black Tie Wedding

Alan & Paige— first work associates, then friends, and then friendship blossomed into something more, and finally on a perfect day in October, they said “I Do” to the rest of their lives. Their wedding perfectly blended Black Tie Class and Southern Hospitality, with just a hint of romance. From their ceremony at Capitol Hill Baptist Church to their reception at McLean Gardens Ballroom, they were surrounded by friends and family who deeply loved them, and it clearly showed. It was a joy and privilege to photograph their wedding, not just as a photographer, but as their friend.

This amazing group of people worked hard behind the scenes to make sure Alan & Paige’s wedding dream became reality:

Ceremony: Capitol Hill Baptist Church  |  Reception: McLean Gardens Ballroom  |  Caterer: Washington Parties  |  Florist: Sadielike  |  Cake: Sweet Therapy Cakes  |  Bride’s Dress: Rivini  |  Dress Shop: Hannelore’s  |  Tuxes: After Hours Formal Wear  |  Bridesmaid’s Dresses: Alfred Sung
