Elizabeth and Gene planned a small, family only wedding. First was their ceremony at the historic and charming chapel of their church adjacent to Oatlands. Nexct came a lovely outdoor late luncheon filled with laughter and toasts. And finally, a party under a tent on the rolling hills of their stunning Aldie home. The twist […]
Amanda and Chris’ intimate wedding at the Aaron Shipman House bed and breakfast in DC had two minor obstacles. An iffy weather forecast and a bride on crutches. The good news was the Amanda was on the mend and could spend sometime on her injured foot without a crutch. Long enough to see her groom […]
The summer of small weddings continued with Mary and Logan’s morning ceremony and lunch. The group of immediate family and very close friends gathered in the Commandant’s garden at the historic home on the Marine Corps 8th & I Barracks. It’s the oldest post in the Corps. There aren’t a lot of weddings held at […]
