Fatima & Christian

Fatima and Christian's wedding was so much fun! Fatima got ready at her parents house, surrounded by friends and family (sometimes literally LOL)

We were running a little late on the church, but the traffic gods smiled upon them and we made it from Fairfax to NW DC in what I would consider to be record time. I have a hunch the limo driver maybe have driven race cars in a past life and I give him full credit for saving the day and delivering the radiant bride just a few minutes late.

Fatima and Christian chose The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament church in NW DC. The church was quite beautiful inside and the staff was a dream to work with. After the ceremony and some family portraits Fatima and Christian headed off for a few casual portraits in Georgetown. It was the perfect time of day!

We didn't know that where we were going for photographs was adjacent to a dog park... LOL fortunately none of us were afraid of dogs and they kept their distance, so there were no muddy pawprints on the dress.

After the brief portrait session we headed off to the Westin Gateway in Arlington where the reception festivities were beginning. I watched Fatima and Christian thank the many important friends and family who had supported them throughout the process of planning the wedding. Then we headed into the ballroom for dinner and dancing! There were some very touching toasts from Fatima and Christian's siblings as well as other friends and family, as well as a musical serenade from one of their guests!
