Oh how we love brunch, and to see it used as a staple in a loving DC wedding reception just makes my heart happy for the guests who were able to be a part of John and Rick’s wedding day. Nothing says love to me more than brunch treats, mimosas, and personal vows in front of close friends and family! After a chance meeting at a favorite neighborhood watering hole in Austin Texas, the couple hit it off and decided to have a real first date later that week. Fast forward to four cities and two dogs later, the couple tied the knot at DC’s iconic Ritz Carlton Georgetown surrounded by their loved ones. We adore the personal wine box and love letter ceremony the couple performed during the wedding to reopen years into their marriage! Such a fun and personal moment to reflect upon their wedding day with later! Thank you to Chris Ferenzi Photography for sharing their love story with us today!

Congratulations to Rick and John!  Thank you for sharing your rich jewel toned country DC wedding with us!
