Jennifer & Jason's DC Wedding

We were thrilled to serve as Day of Coordinators for this fun & lively couple!

The ceremony was held at Holy Trinity in Georgetown. http://www.holytrinitydc.org/

Cocktails, dinner and dancing followed at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, a historic property overlooking Meridian Park in NorthWest. http://www.washingtonparks.net/parkscenter.html

Here are a few shots from the day from the fantastic Dennis Drenner of Drenner Photography. Thanks Dennis for use of these images!

Jen's day began at the Georgetown Hotel & Conference Center, in the heart of Georgetown. A recent grad of Georgetown Law, Jen and her bridal party hit the streets for a walk to the ceremony, stopping along campus for some memorable photos!




Upon arrival to the church, a few finishing touches were put into place, and then it was time to get married!






One of my favorite parts of my job: one last chat with a beautiful bride before the doors open and she heads down the aisle. See you when you're married!


















After the ceremony, the couple was whisked off to the Capitol for photos in a 1962 White Bentley, courtesy of Regal Limousine Service. Meanwhile, Chariots for Hire took the Bridal Party to Meridian Park, a stones throw from the reception venue, The Josephine Butler Parks Center. Chariots for Hire also shuttled guests to the reception for cocktail hour.



After a quick stop at the Capitol for some photos, the Bride and Groom rejoined the Wedding Party at Meridian Park, where they captured these great photos! Couldn't have asked for a better day!







Then it was time to party!




Some great personal touches to this wedding: All florals were done by the brother of the bride!
The priest was a family friend! Mother of the bride is a long time member and used to be the wedding specialist at the church!


Kurtis Cross, Professional DJ kept the dance floor packed and lively! http://www.kurtiscross.com/

There was even a little "Hokey Pokey.."







One of the highlights of the evening was the photo booth from PoshBooth. Guests had a blast- and what's great is that there are two attendants to show help guests get set up in the booth (they also bring some fun props!). Two copies of the strips are printed, one for the guests and one for a custom guest book for the Bride and Groom.



Congrats Jason & Jennifer! It was a pleasure !

Sneak Peek! Jenn & Jason

Before the photographs from the ever-so-talented Dennis Drenner arrive, here are a few snapshots from Jenn & Jason's big day! The ceremony was held at Holy Trinity in Georgetown, with the reception following at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, overlooking Meridian Park.



Hair & Makeup began bright and early for the bride!


Meanwhile, mom was finishing the last few seams on the secret reception dress!





We started our day by checking on the bride in her suite, and performing a little surgery on a flower girls pomander!






Mom and daughter take a moment before she walks down the aisle!



We love the contrast of the bridesmaid gowns with the beautiful fall palette of the bouquets!


My lovely assistant, Laura, and the few remaining Virginia Tech cupcakes from the dessert display!



Yumm.. cake!




More to come soon!

Love is Sweet.. and Sometimes Free!




If you are in the Dupont Circle area of DC today, Tuesday August 25th, be sure to stop by Hello Cupcake. They are celebrating their 1st anniversary, and that means a free cupcake for everyone, while supplies last!


My favorite: Triple coconut, 24 carrot, and Raspberry Beret. I hear the summer special of a classic rootbeer float is yummy.. so maybe give it a try while you're out and about!
