Carnegie Institution for Science wedding reception – Washington, DC
J+D’s glorious fall wedding on the campus at Georgetown University and their Carnegie Institution for Science wedding reception. Both are graduates of the school and we had so much fun roaming the campus looking for different spots to take their couple photos. We did the obvious and iconic photos outside Healey Hall, but I was quite happy to find lots of great stonework and arches to frame the couple. After the ceremony, we headed to one of my favorite wedding reception venues in town, the Carnegie Institution for Science. Carnegie is such a unique space with so many photographic options. I love the rotunda floor, the portico with the large black doors facing 16th Street and the steps leading up to the building which are just perfect for wedding party photos. Their party was an great mix of laid back style (no big intros for the couple) and totally fun dance party. It’s such a bonus to get a couple who loves to dance and there wasn’t a moment when the two of them weren’t on the dance floor smiling like crazy.
