Anna & Danny

Anna and Danny were married on a lovely Saturday at the Meridian House. I originally met Anna very briefly in NYC during a trip. She had only a few moments to meet due to her busy schedule at ABC but fortunately we had some time to get together on Thursday afternoon before the wedding and meet Anna's parents and her fiance. I could tell from the way that Anna and her mom spoke that a great deal of work and attention to detail had been put into the event!

In spite of torrential rains on Friday, the weather gods smiled on Saturday as Anna's preparations got underway at the Mayflower Hotel.

After a few portraits in a hidden nook at the Mayflower, we headed off to the always beautiful Meridian House.

I love the way the Meridian House is set up - the bride can remain hidden but still peak out as the processional begins.

The ceremony was heartfelt and blessed with beautiful light - I can take credit for neither, but the images show off the beautiful setting and the happy couple.

After the ceremony we had time for a few portraits of the happy couple!

Jeremy, catering and event guru extraordinaire of Susan Gage Catering ensured that everything went off the hitch - from the delicious gazpacho salad to the salted caramel tartlets. Yum.

The evening finished with a sparkler exit and a quick trip downtown for photos in front of the Capitol.

Kate & Rocco at the Meridian House

Kate and Rocco had a gorgeous wedding at the Meridian House in DC. They handled their wedding plans perfectly - during the planning they considered all the little details, picked great vendors like us :D LOL, and then on their wedding day they relaxed and let everyone do their jobs while they enjoyed their beautiful day.

The Meridian House is an absolutely fantastic site for an event. It's very peaceful there, and large parts of the grounds are shaded by a canopy of tall trees. Kate and Rocco had their ceremony in the garden area behind Meridian House.

Inside and out, the venue was elegant and comfortable. Khoa Le from Festive Foods did an excellent job overseeing all the details of the setup and the food and drinks. Everything was absolutely delicious, and set up well ahead of time! Efficient and professional!

The yellow linens were unique and worked beautifully with the abundant flowers and the colors of Meridian House. Kate and Rocco decorated outside with colorful chinese lanterns of different shapes and sizes. The atmosphere was perfect. Everyone absolutely loved the afrofunk band Chopteeth - I don't think I've ever seen so much uninterrupted dancing!
