Winter wedding in Washington, DC. You just never know what the weather will be like. Our couple lucked out with a day just warm enough for outdoor photos. While we had a rain plan in place, their timing was perfect for a few photos by the Tidal Basin before the rain storm came through. Being that our bride was attending law school, getting married during her winter break in January made the most sense. We worked closely with the bride’s mom and were delighted to coordinate their wedding held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC. While we’ve worked at the Reagan Building many times, we have not worked there in the winter. With the sun setting quite early in January, the drama of the darkness gave us an opportunity to create an intimate mood even in the expansive space of their Atrium.

Love the gray bridesmaids dresses with the fur wrap. Only in winter time!
I loved this photo because all the bridesmaids were smiling even though they just got caught in the rain and the hem of their dresses were all wet. Perspective!
A wedding ceremony on the Grand Staircase of the Atrium is quite dramatic.
Loved the acrylic seating chart from Etsy.
I loved introducing the newlyweds at the top of the Grand Staircase
There is nothing better than Shrimp and Grits and Mac and Cheese for late night snacks.
