Newseum wedding – Washington, DC

The end of 2014 was busier than usual and I was very happy to end up my year with Hannah + Hal’s Newseum wedding. Their December wedding day was unseasonably warm if a little rainy. The day started at the Willard Hotel in suites with a fabulous view of the Washington Monument. I loved the sweet moments as Hannah was helped into her dress by both her mother and her soon to be mother-in-law. And when Hannah’s dad saw her in her dress for the first time…so sweet!! An adorable first look followed and then we made our way through the Christmas weekend tourists through the Newseum stopping at the Berlin Wall (which made a surprisingly cool backdrop) and the upper levels overlooking the main floor. It was nice that the Redskins/Cowboys game was on the giant screen keeping everyone occupied during the group portraits. In a day full of memorable moments, I will always remember the day as my first wedding with my daughter Hannah as my assistant! Everyone was so nice to her and she was helpful and professional. I was a proud mama for sure. Back to the wedding…the bouquets of dusty pinks and succulents were just lovely and unexpected for a winter wedding which was a nice touch. It is always a pleasure to work with Janice at Bellwether Events who pulled everything together beautifully, from the ceremony through the reception.
