Greer and Dave

Greer and Dave were married on a truly gorgeous autumn day. From the beginning, it was apparent how excited everyone was for Greer and Dave’s wedding day.

The ceremony was held at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Georgetown. This church is really beautiful, and its architecture is impressive without being gigantic, thus creating an intimate setting for the ceremony. The aisle is intricately tiled, a feature that I found to be unique. Their ceremony was held at just the right time of day so that the sunlight came in the windows and fell upon the bride and groom on the altar.

Georgetown is filled with brick sidewalks and the fall foliage complimented them nicely. The weather was absolutely perfect and it made for some lovely photos of the couple outside after their wedding.

The reception was held in Washington, D.C. at the McLean Gardens Ballroom . This venue is elegant with a central wooden dance floor bordered by four massive white columns. The ceilings are 40 feet high and there are five chandeliers. There are two fireplaces and a large mirror hangs above each. The walls are a very light yellow, which adds to the warm ambiance provided by the chandeliers. Greer and Dave chose to use mini cakes as the centerpieces for their tables. I thought this was a really good idea - dual purpose! Not only are they cute, but edible, too!

Greer and Dave had their first dance immediately upon entering their reception after which dinner was served with the catering services of 3 Citron . Following dinner were the toasts and the parent dances. We were particularly impressed with the dj services of Chris Laich.  After the cake cutting, the guests and the newly married couple hardly left the dance floor, and such a good time was being had that the reception was extended for an extra hour! At the end of the night, the guests lined the sidewalk in front of the building. Greer and Dave walked out amidst lit sparklers and their family and friends as they ended their night with a special exit.
