Rosie and Charles got married! And it was such an honor to be part of their day!! Milton Ridge was originally constructed in 1875 and restored in 2002. It was beautifully quaint location and so fitting for this wonderful couple and their family! Charles and Rosie were both from Uganda, so they had family coming in from all over the world.  So it was really important to get a photograph of everyone that attended their wedding, see the group shot below! Their daughter Gabby was such a cutie! She carried the rings in a ring dish–the photograph of her hands holding the dish is probably one of my favorite photos that I have ever taken…the message and the fact that a child’s hands are holding it.  Another favorite from the day, is Charles rubbing his hands in preparation for his kiss sealing their marriage! Love it!! What a wonderful day and a even more wonderful family!! Best wishes and a lifetime of love and happiness to these two and their family!!

Alexis and Kevan got married at The Willard! The Willard Hotel was formally founded by Henry Willard when he leased the six buildings in 1847, combined them into a single structure, and enlarged it into a four-story hotel he renamed the Willard Hotel. The Willard is as rich in architecture as it is in history. Alexis and Kevan chose this venue because of its iconic nature to the District and to them. It was a beautiful day… for a first look, and some portraits outside. The ceremony was held inside the Crystal Room…breath taking! There were many favorite moments…but two of my favorites were the chair dance (which was extremely lively!) and the very end of the night Kevan and his college buddies sang, The Piano Man. It has developed into quite a tradition with them, and it is a tradition that happens at each of their weddings! It was such an honor to capture all of their moments!
