Nellie and Seth’s Wedding

May 28th, 2008 by Bryan Blanken

A few weeks ago I photographed Nellie & Seth’s wedding. The ceremony was at St. Matthew’s which always photographs beautifully, and the reception was at The Hay-Adams Hotel.

Nellie did not want to have a lot of posed photos, she just wanted to have fun. She probably had the most fun of any bride I have photographed in a long time- way to go Nellie! It always great to photograph people having a great time and everyone was having a great time.

We did run over to Lafayette Park for a quick couple of photos.

It was a cocktail style reception that started on the Rooftop Terrace with a band and then continued in the John Hay Room with a DJ. Good times!

Maria and Robert’s Wedding

May 22nd, 2008 by Bryan Blanken

What a beautiful weekend. The weather was perfect. I photographed Maria & Robert’s wedding at the Thomas Birkby House in Leesburg, VA.

It is a great spot for a intimate wedding. Maria & Robert had about 80 guests for an outside ceremony with a tented reception catered by Ridgewells. The flowers by Exquisite were beautiful.

Nancy Shaffer from Bravo Events by Design was the wedding coordinator. It was a great day, and I really loved working with Nancy, who brings a corporate mentality to weddings- in a good way. She makes sure things go on schedule and that everyone involved, bride & groom, guests and vendors have what they need. It was very refreshing. Thanks Nanc.
