Black Tie at The Line Hotel in DC

This Bride was surrounded by so much LOVE!

The getting ready process was fun at the Gorgeous Line Hotel in DC. We got 11 ladies plus the Bride ready and had 4 artists and around a 4.5 hour timeline. Everything about the space was Modern and interesting. For her makeup we went with a natural look with lashes and her hair a tousled chignon with romantic pieces.

We are always so grateful to work with Janice from Bellweather events because she is so organized and on top of things. What amazing photos by Conner Studios also!!

Fresh Spring Beauty in Alexandria

What a beautiful event! I am always in love with mint dresses. Kathleen was simply stunning with her down hair style and natural makeup. Becca B Photography shot some beautiful images of the group in Old Town Alexandria, just blocks away from where our studio is located. The girls got ready at one of my most loved locations: Hotel Monaco. My favorite image is the group trolly pic.

Alice was the sweetest bride! Her esthetic had a west coast vibe with casual elegance. Through out each step of the process we had a great time, she was the type of client I hope to stay connected with for a long time. Her wedding was featured twice on Style Me Pretty, once for best of 2015. Joey Kennedy is a very talented wedding & editorial photographer.

Spring Beauty Wedding {Krista Jones}

These were two of the happiest newly weds I have seen photos of. One of my favorite photos is where is he holding her hand up like he just won the trophy of his lifetime. The spring green, beautiful venue and lovely details make this a most loved. The makeup was natural and the hair in a soft romantic up style. Makeup & Hair by Rachelle for Modern Bridal Studio

Art Museum {Nessa K}

This stunning wedding was shot all over Georgetown in DC. The bride was classic and her style was softly defined. Her beauty was timeless! Nessa K was on point with her photography. 

We were so happy to be a part of their special day.
