Park Hyatt wedding - Washington DC - Deb Lindsey Photography

J+E’s Park Hyatt wedding was my second time at the hotel this summer. Good thing I love to shoot there! J+E started their day together alone in their suite getting ready. It made for some nice calm moments and they put on their matching poodle bowties. They did have one other companion in the suite–their adorable poodle Louie who looked so dapper in his bowtie collar. Thankfully it wasn’t too hot to take Louie for a walk and to pose for some photos outside the hotel and in front of the Park Hyatt’s big black doors. Their traditional Jewish wedding started with the Ketubah signing and then proceeded down the aisle and were married under a beautiful chuppah designed by E’s mother. I just loved the flowers by Blue Vanda that transformed their reception with deep jewel tones. And their cake topper is one of my favorites in recent memory…J+E and Louie perched on top! A great party finished up the evening with the Hora, emotional toasts from family and their best women and even a Soul Train line on the dance floor. And as a special treat for me, I was ably assisted by my daughter Hannah. Nothing better than working with my girl!
