Happy FIRST Anniversary Katie & James!
On this lazy Monday (just kidding, I’ve been working since dawn) I think back to one year ago when I was working with this adorable couple on their Hotel Monaco Alexandria, Virginia wedding. (Now called The Alexandrian Hotel.)
We were so lucky with the weather as we did not have a backup tent for the wedding reception to be held in the hotel’s courtyard, so we would have had to really pivot in order to move everything inside. And a wedding dinner is always better al fresco, wouldn’t you agree?
I loved their coral and gray attire. Lynnvale Studios created Katie’s KILLER bridal bouquet as well as 10 completely different wedding reception centerpieces which is a concept I am totally in love with. And Deb Lindsey took these amazing wedding photos!
This was one of the first times where the color palette was sort of “all the things” which is a trend that has persisted for well over a decade.
The one time I (probably) didn’t stress out about dining al fresco. And definitely the beginning of my break away from white table linens.
Cobblestone photos are a must in Old Town Alexandria! This is why you need an hour for first look and couple portraits.
