Kristin and BJ: May 2, 2009
I just love these dramatic images from Kristin and BJ's wedding at Hilton Arlington on May 2, 2009. Special thanks to the team at Ever After Visuals for sharing them with us!





The ceremony was at Saint Anne's Catholic Church.







These were taken in our lobby.








Meanwhile, everything in the ballroom was ready!









After we rang the chimes for dinner, it was time for the grand announcements and a heartfelt champagne toast.



Then BJ led Kristin in their first dance.














Best wishes to Kristin and BJ for a life time of happiness!

Blast from the past at Hilton Arlington: Amy and Scott 10.10.10

For those of you that remember the hoopla, October 10, 2010 was a huge wedding date. Not only did it have the allure of the digits 10.10.10, it was also a holiday weekend in October, the busiest wedding month of the year in the DC area. In these images provided by the mother & daughter team of Ever After Visuals, we take a look back at one of the years most beautiful wedding days.


Amy and Scott started their wedding day with a photo session at the community park with fountain, park benches and lush landscaping a block away from the hotel. Here they posed alone, with each other and with the bridal party for some great outdoor shots.















Returning to the hotel, everything was set for their ceremony including runner, chuppah, and chair covers with sashes.







Here comes the bride!











Inside the ballroom, everything was ready including complimentary centerpieces and dramatic uplighting.


Mmmmm, yummy cupcakes.



Amy and Scott opted for a sweetheart table.



After making their grand entrance, they twirled into their first dance.











Time for the best man to deliver his speech.






Some cupcake feeding and then time to toss the bouquet.



Best wishes to Amy and Scott for a long and happy marriage!
