A Fabulous Fairfax Wedding {Brittany + John}

Brittany and John were such a wonderful couple and we loved being back at The Fairfax Hotel! Such a classic D.C. venue right in the heart of Dupont Circle.

We love "first reveals" when couples see each other for the first time!

A few sweet moments before the ceremony . . .

The classic and elegant ceremony in the ballroom of The Fairfax.

Cocktails in the balcony!

The ballroom set up for the reception. Shades of gold and whites and greens in matte gold trumpet vases. The gold of the floral arrangements played off the hotel's gilded tables and mirrors beautifully!

Doughnut love!

A romantic fist dance . . .

The always fabulous MyDeejay kept guests dancing long into the night!

Congratulations Brittany and John! We loved working with you and were honored to be a part of your day!

And a huge thanks to my wonderful team, especially Michele Frankfurter for the images that truly capture the emotion of the day. You all made the day amazing!

Vendor Love {Connor Studios}

We first met Michael Connor several years ago when we were interviewing photographers for a large Indian wedding. We'd heard that a D.C. photojournalist was taking the Indian wedding world by storm and we had to see what all the buzz was about!

We were not disappointed. We loved Michael's style and his ease with clients. He could handle a multiple day Indian wedding for several hundred people with grace but also capture an intimate church wedding beautifully. Since meeting Michael, we have had the good fortune to work with him many times and we are always blown away by the images he creates.

 Not only is Michael amazing, his team of shooters are fabulous. We have always been thrilled with everyone from the Connor Studios team! They are talented, easy-going and fun to work with--the perfect combination!

All our thanks to Michael and his team for the many wonderful weddings together!

We hope you enjoy these select images from weddings that Engaging Affairs has collaborated on with Connor Studios. Cheers!

Romance at The Salamander Resort {Lili + Tom}

We were lucky enough to venture to the Virginia hunt country's newest and most elegant resort for a stunning Fall wedding for a delightful couple! Salamander Resort and Spa was the setting for a weekend filled with lovely moments for our beautiful couple.

Lovely details . . .

Ceremony moments in an elegant tent with soft autumn colors . . .

A romantic ride in a horse drawn carriage!

 Reception details continue the muted Fall tones and add elegant fabric draping and brushed silver candlesticks mixed with crystal.

Joyful moments with the couple and their adorable sons!
