Ann & Roger - Historical Society of Washington, DC - Part II

Reception: The Historical Society of Washington D.C.
Catering: Capitol Catering
Lighting: Frost Lighting
Flowers: Greenworks

I'm just now posting part II of Ann & Roger's day because there were just so many fantastic images that I wanted to share. If you missed part I, check it out here. Their reception was held at the Historical Society of Washington, DC. This is without a doubt one of my favorite venues at which I have ever had the pleasure of photographing a wedding. Frost did a fabulous job with the lighting, bringing a whole new dimension of color and energy to the room. I love what special lighting does for reception images! Of course, the sheer happiness that Ann and Roger radiated all night didn't hurt either! Get ready for quite a few images, because this group had A LOT of fun!

The food was absolutely delicious, and beautiful too!

They took a brief break to cut the cake and then it was back to dancing the night away.

I love this. They put on the best show for their guests pretending to walk away and ignore each other during their dance.

Ann tried to keep a straight face at first, but couldn't help breaking into a smile.

Her laughter was totally contagious! I found myself smiling behind the camera all night.

You know it's a party when...

And at last, their exit in the rain. ..

Ann & Roger - Historical Society of Washington, DC - Part I

Ceremony: Capitol Hill United Methodist Church
Reception: The Historical Society of Washington D.C.
Flowers: Greenworks
Catering: Capitol Catering

Ann and Roger had a gorgeous (and hot!) day in June for their beautiful Capitol Hill wedding. I'm actually going to split their post into two parts because there were just so many beautiful details and great moments that I want to share. This first post will include the getting ready, ceremony and some artistic portraits. I'm saving the entire second part of their post for the reception because it was simply stunning! I felt truly lucky to be a part of their day. It was almost difficult to take a photo of Ann when she wasn't smiling! The energy and connection between Ann and Roger was ever present and came across effortlessly in their images. Here are some of my favorite images from part one of their day...

Ann gave each of her bridesmaids a lovely bracelet as a gift while they were getting ready.

Tears of joy were already flowing as Ann walked up the aisle to Roger.

Love this! Ann accidentally tried to place her ring on Roger's finger and had everyone laughing out loud.

This is definitely one of my favorite images from their day!

Stay tuned for more images from Ann and Roger's gorgeous reception at the Historical Society...
