I recently worked with a beautiful couple on their May wedding in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. From the start, I loved the concept for their wedding: intimate, casual elegance steeped in the rich history of the cobblestoned streets of Alexandria.

The ceremony took place at the Historic Christ Church where, inside, the pew George Washington and his family sat in when they attended the Church is perfectly preserved.

Following the ceremony, a bagpiper followed by the Bride & Groom marched triumphantly from the Church to the Lee-Fendall House just a few block away. Having all the guests join in the procession was so festive.

The Lee-Fendall House was the perfect venue for this intimate wedding. With tents in the back of the house, tables with soft blues and greens, and gorgeous floral arrangements featuring hydrangea, the reception transformed into beautiful garden party.

It’s so important to find ways to make one’s wedding personal. With a southern heritage, the bride & groom chose shrimp and grits for the menu. Guests loved not only food itself, but the beautiful presentation.

Katie and Philip danced their first dance to music played by the band, Groovetown.

In addition to a bride and groom’s cake, delicious pastries and cookies were served later in the evening.

It was a beautiful, special day from start to finish. Congratulations and many blessings, Katie and Philip!
