and combined it with persimmon to make up this perfect color palette for the wedding

I love how DC offers intriguing historical houses as wedding venues.

Amber Karson Events collaborated with Ken and Izumi to bring Japanese traditions into their wedding day.  They even included a sake bar for guests to enjoy.Izumi and Ken performed a Japanese custom of “Breaking of the Sake Barrel” at their wedding.  It represents an opening to harmony and good fortune.

Izumi mentioned that Japanese wedding receptions are more formal affairs so the family members from Japan
were very surprised and pleased at how much fun they ended up having dancing.

Izumi and Ken thanks for letting me be a part of your Dumbarton House Wedding!

Melanie and Mike so happy for you two!  Can’t wait for your wedding next year with Kate of Simply Chic!

I adore the Infinity bridesmaids (from Etsy) dresses that Courtney chose.
Each maid was able to choose which way to wear it and can wear it again in a different wrapping style.

Courtney and Geoff met while attending University of Virginia, and included their Alma mater as part of their vows.

Beautiful and delicious cake made by Jason Reeves at Market Salamander

Courtney and Geoff, it was so wonderful to be a part of your Thomas Birkby House wedding!
From the beautiful details to the way you perfectly danced your first dance, every moment was amazing.  Congrats to Courtney and Geoff!

Ellen and Dave were married at the beautiful St. Mary’s Church in downtown Annapolis before heading to their William Paca House wedding

Guests favors were very “Annapolitan” complete with personalized mallets and Old Bay seasoning. 

Ellen and Dave, it was so wonderful getting to know you two.  You two are some of the kindest people I have ever met.  And I love that I was able to see you just three weeks later at Lauren and Nick’s wedding.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your William Paca House wedding.  Even on one of the hottest days of the year, I love that you had an amazing day and didn’t let it stop you from dancing.

I think a Halcyon House wedding could me one of my favorites.  I simply love this venue!  The beautiful outside garden for the ceremony mixed with the contrast of a raw space for the reception.  It’s just the perfect mix for a wedding.  Courtney and Morgan‘s was no exception, and even though there was a threat of rain, their amazing planners, A Dominick Events, executed their wedding this Halcyon House wedding to perfection.
