I’ve been saving up a few of the weddings that I shot this fall to blog on the new website.  Well, the new website is here and so this is the first of a couple weddings yet to be blogged!


Patrick and Ioli were married on Halloween – how cool is that?!  I was absolutely in love with every part of their wedding – from Ioli’s amazingly gorgeous hair & makeup and her fantastic dress and jewelry, to the unique and artistic flowers and details , to the spectacular Saint Sophia Cathedral in NW DC to the dazzling reception at Halcyon House in Georgetown – my head was spinning from all the fabulousity!


I second shot Patrick & Ioli’s wedding with Kelsey, of kthompson photography and we had a blast together, as always!

LOVE these gorgeous and simple little yellow orchids at the reception!

And of course, for a Halloween wedding, it’s only appropriate to have a few fun costumes!

The Greek dances were fantastic!  You couldn’t help but get swept up in the festivity of it all!

As the night wore on, everyone really got into it – I love this shot of Patrick & Ioli just having the time of their lives!
