Washington DC Wedding Ceremony: Rachael + Joe
February 6, 2013 admin

President’s Day is just a few weeks away and we’re feeling might patriotic today with Rachael and Joe’s Washington DC wedding from Spence Photographics. To celebrate all that is DC, this duo chose a red white and blue palette but incorporated it in a sophisticated, understated way. They wanted a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony, a reception where they could let loose and the national monuments in the background for all of it! And, you guessed it! That’s just what they got!

Washington DC Wedding

From Rachael: Our vision was to have a classic, summer wedding – dancing, eating and laughing, while looking over the amazing landmarks of our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

My favorite memory was when the doors of the church opened and I saw my soon to be husband for the first time – he was crying!
