Elegance at Anderson House {Jessica + Chris}


The classic elegance of the Anderson House was the perfect setting for this lovely couple and their equally lovely wedding.  We love the sweet details and fun elements of this classic Georgetown and old Washington wedding!



The couple took photos on Georgetown's picturesque campus before the ceremony.




The intimate ceremony in Dahlgren Chapel with beautiful soft light.




Fun in the fountain!


An elegant Anderson House entrance!





We love the elegant marble, intricate scroll work and sparkling chandeliers of The Anderson House's ballroom!









Sweet treats to end the evening: custom cookies and Georgetown cupcakes!

An Oatlands Romance {Elizabeth + Matt}


There's nothing quite like an autumn wedding at a mansion in the Virginia countryside. Add perfect weather, a stunning couple and charming details and you have the makings of a perfect wedding!





Beautiful blooms by Amaryllis.


 A breathtaking setting for a ceremony!






The lovely couple took time for some portraits outside on the grounds of Oatlands.




The tented reception featuring wooden farm tables, rattan chairs, natural linen table runners and lots of greenery and lush, white flowers! Another gorgeous design by Amaryllis!





A sweet cake and rustic place cards set in a bed of moss.


And guests danced long into the night . . .
