Congratulations to Nanette and Roxanne, the stunning couple featured here at my first All White Wedding!

Their ceremony and reception both took place at the Embassy Suites in Springfield, VA.

Nanette was the epitome of dapper, wearing a custom made and personalized suit by Kenny Kas (@KennyKas_Custom).

Although the hotel houses a pretty vanilla conference room, Roxanne’s sister designed a beautiful white flower wall to complement the altar.

The wedding went off without a hitch thanks to their fabulous wedding planner, Stephanie Anderson. (stephanie@slaconsultingllc.com) She coordinated EVERYTHING from the flower wall, the caterer, the florist, photographers (me and my second shooter Mel!), videographers, venue design, and more!

 

The reception decor was designed and provided by Patrick Bridgeman’s team, Events In A Box. They are an absolute joy to work with, and I’ve now worked with them on quite a few events! They do an excellent job every time. I mean, just take a look at this reception!

Bonjour, everyone!

I am delighted to announce the union of Alisa and Amon, celebrated in September. These two are an incredibly fun-loving couple, and it showed throughout their wedding day.

The wedding was truly special, with two ringbearers, two singers, special socks, and a healthy heaping of family and friends.  It took place at Forest Memorial United Methodist Church in Prince George’s County, MD, followed by the reception at Camelot, on Central Avenue in Bowie, MD. A big thank you goes out to the caterers at Camelot, DJ T-Why, and the other awesome companies that helped make Alisa and Amon’s day so special.

Their reception was also pretty impressive. There wasn’t just one wedding cake; there were two!

The couple first danced to “Rest of Our Lives” by Jeffrey Osbourne, and DJ T-Why played everything from slow jams to Go Go to the most current pop songs of 2014. It was a blast!

Wish you could have been there, too, blog readers! At least you can live through the pictures!

Until next time,

Hi everybody! Welcome back to my blog.

I always enjoy wedding season. There’s so much love in the air and brides and grooms spend so much time carefully planning all of their Big Day details. It was no different for Ty and Jamaal Christian’s wedding, either!

Their wedding ceremony took place at the University of Maryland’s chapel in College Park, Maryland, and the reception was held at Oxon Hill Manor, catered by Bennett Caterers. Ty and Jamaal danced to their first song, Avant and Keke Wyatt’s You and I, played by DJ 2Two 4our.

A few more people that helped their wedding go off without a hitch include:

Cake Maker: Kate’s Corner

Wedding Planner: Alex Nesterak

Florist: Blooming Occasions

Limo Service: Attache Executive LLC

Enough about that…on to the photos! Check out this gorgeous couple…

 

 

Ty and Jamaal truly had a blast on their wedding day and it was all they hoped it would be. Oxon Hll Manor is a great venue and the DJ kept everyone dancing all night. I probably had just as much fun as they did. Their wedding planner was fantastic, the day was amazing, and I wish Ty and Jamaal the best!
