Blissfully Happy

That is how Sarah and Rob looked Saturday night at their wedding. I had worked with them for about a year, planning every aspect of their event. The theme was formal black and white with touches of red. Ceremony on the front lawn of Bristow Manor then dinner and dancing in the adjoining tent area. The candy buffet and grooms cake were a hit with everyone.

It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, the bride was glowing and I swear Rob couldn't stop looking at his new wife. They are headed to the Greek Islands for a honeymoon. Enjoy some of the non professional pictures.








Professional pics from Classic Creations Photography will be on my website soon. Thanks to John Farr Lighting, Ensemble Elan Strings, Heaven on Earth Flowers, Classic Celebrations cake, Select Event Rentals and Visual Ventures Videography for helping to create a very romantic wedding.

Sarah and Ariel

I don't think I have ever seen a couple more in love. Saturday night Sarah and Ariel made everyone want to be in love and to dance! Their wedding reception was at the Westin Gateway in Arlington. Westin's are always ready to do something different, for example they found this industrial shelving unit for me so we could display the cocktail hour food, check out the cool fork display.

The wonderful couple met salsa dancing and got to show off a little for a few dances at the reception. They looked incredible gliding across the floor together.

Sarah used a color pallet of gold and wine with touches of orange. Between the uplighting, the mix of square and round tables, the monogrammed gobo on the dance floor and the matching menus and escort cards to the amazing food and service this was one amazing event. To top off the great evening the guests made take away candy boxes from the candy buffet. Even adults like to remember being a kid once in a while.

MOB's Know Best

I received two of the most wonderful thank you notes from former clients - not just the bride but their moms. They are still hearing great things from their friends and reminiscing about a wonderful stress free FUN day. Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

"Your organizational skills and ability to deal firmly with whatever situation presented itself enabled us all to have a happy and enjoyable day without any concerns. From our first meeting it became obvious that your expertise was just what we needed to assure the same easy, worry-free experience for ourselves." Dede May 2007

"You are the ultimate organizer, and on top of it all, you have a sincere caring personality. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Carol July 2007


Just to show Mom's do know best!
Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your special day.

Ana and Doug

I just finished my last wedding of the summer and it was at a new venue for me.
Celebrations at the Bay by Uptown Catering

It is a gorgeous site overlooking the bay in MD, the food was fantastic and the couple adorable. Ana came to me not knowing how to pull the event together. She needed guidance with the colors and details (my favorite part!).

She got many items from Peru but wasn't sure where or how to use them. The sage and rose colors came together just perfect. Can't wait for the professional pictures, especially of them out on the dock.

Another Happily Married Couple

Laurel and Tom were married on Saturday in a traditional Catholic ceremony. The exited the church through a Military Sabre Arch and jumped into a 1940's Bentley. They had an awesome reception at Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, DC.

This event definitely reminded me that you certainly have to go with the flow and make things the best they can be. The fire alarm went off in the building; this meant bells and strobe lights going off all over the place. Luckily this happened later in the evening during dancing and we tried to pretend the strobe lights added to the dancing atmosphere. We hope the guests didn't mind too much!

Weatherford Photography was with the couple all day, going around town hitting all the hot spots for pictures. They were awesome to work with; as a husband and wife team they meshed well together. Can't wait to see the professional pictures.
