Reyna & Matt ‘s wedding in April was so filled with love and joy!  Watching such diverse and warm families come together to celebrate these two wondeful people was amazing and I enjoyed every moment!  After having their engagement session and rehearsal dinner photographed, Reyna & Matt were quite accustomed to being in front of the camera and seemed so relaxed.  Reyna got ready with her bridesmaids at the Capitol Hill Suites, just across the street from St. Peter’s Cathedral on Capitol Hill.  Her dress was just absolutely stunning and I don’t think any of Reyna’s friends and family could helping shedding a tear or two seeing her look so gorgeous.

And they all headed right across the street to the wedding!  The flower girls were just absolutely precious, and Reyna and Matt were both radiant as Reyna came down the aisle.

The reception decor at Sequoia was just beautiful and all the staff were so gracious.  And of course, being right on the Georgetown waterfront, the view was spectacular!

One of my favorite things about shooting at Sequoia is all the gorgeous lights – they make the most beautiful background for the wedding reception.
