I had the great honor of working with the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and his fiancee Karmen Bailey-Walker on their May wedding. The couple was married at the University of Maryland Chapel and hosted a reception at the Ballroom at the University of Maryland Conference Center. A daytime wedding, the cocktail-style reception allowed guests to mix and mingle in the Ballroom as well as enjoy the beautiful patio space. The color palette featured golds, creams, and touches of deep red. It was a beautiful day in honor of a beautiful couple! Congratulations Lt Governor and Karmen!

I had the privilege of working with Marisa and Dan on their wedding last year. They are an amazing couple, individually and together. I loved the sense of humor and style that they brought to the planning process. It resulted in a really beautiful, fun event.

The bride’s vision for the reception was a festive Mexican-influenced style. We focused on bright colors and the bride brought in personal touches to make the reception even more unique. Longview Gallery was a great backdrop for this intimate event and Chris Baltazar captured the day beautifully.

Congratulations, Marisa & Dan!

I had the pleasure of working with a very special couple and their families on a beautiful summer wedding at St Mary’s Church and Belle Haven Country Club in Alexandria. Ashley & Ben met at college where they were both athletes and are now both teachers. Their families are amazing and I had the best time working with the mother-of-the-bride in pulling together all of the details for the wedding day.

Rodney Bailey captured the day beautifully, including special touches like a painting done by a family friend especially for the occasion and a special signature drink named after the couple.

Congratulations, Ashley & Ben!

When I first met Dominique I knew right away her and Tony’s wedding would be out of this world. A beautiful girl from a large Greek family marrying a fabulous local chef — this was going to be one culinary feast of a party! And it was. The couple got married at Strong Mansion up at Sugarloaf, Maryland. Cocktail hour featured charcuterie from a local purveyor and a signature cocktail from one of DC’s best mixologists — all around a beautiful garden setting. An impressive dessert table awaited guests later in the evening, designed by one of the area’s top bakers. The deejay played a skillful mix of Greek music, old classics, and contemporary hits and everyone had a great time late into the night. It was an incredible day!

Congratulations, Tony & Dominique!
