A Timelessly Modern Black Tie Soiree

Two Pennsylvania natives who were thrilled to finally celebrate with friends and family tied the knot in the heart of Washington, D.C. Kaitlyn and Eric's first date took place at Unconventional Diner for Sunday brunch where they bonded over their love for family and Frank Sinatra. That initial meeting went so well that it carried on into the evening, and they spent the day exploring the city, sipping cocktails at the renowned Old Ebbitt Grill, and gazing at the spectacular White House Christmas Tree, all while forging what would develop into a deep connection and enduring love. When Eric proposed, he chose the romantic Gardens at Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown as his backdrop, where Kaitlyn exclaimed the easiest, "Yes" of her life!

With most guests traveling to the capital for Kaitlyn and Eric's wedding celebration, Hotel Washington provided the best of everything that the city had to offer with its distinctive blend of modern and classic decor elements and its magnificent views of the National Mall. Talented wedding planner, Lisseth Orellana (Owner and Lead Planner of Allore Events & Design), brought the newlyweds' contemporary vision to life for their high-end, black and white affair. Shelly Bagdasian of B Floral created striking floral arrangements made of soft white flowers and overflowing greenery of varying textures to accompany the glowing romantic candlelight that enhanced the ceremony and reception spaces.

KIND WORDS

Anna is absolutely incredible! From our first interaction to even after the wedding she has been a dream to work with. Not only was she an amazing photographer capturing both our engagement and wedding photos, she was also there to provide advice and even planner and vendor recommendations. (She was the foundation of our dream team!) We can't thank her enough for all that she has done for us and for capturing the most beautiful memories. She is the BEST!
