Southern Hospitality Wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington D.C.

Southern Hospitality Wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington D.C.

One of my most favorite brides of all time was Erin. Both her and her family made me feel like such a part of their family the planning process was one of the smoothest and most fun ever!! She and her groom got married at the beautiful Four Season Hotel in Washington D.C. Their ceremony was at their home Catholic Church in Alexandria. The staff at the Four Seasons was wonderful!! Amaryllis Floral and Event Designs created the most amazing floral design and provided the perfect rentals to compliment the space. Jodi and Kurt Photography photographed this timeless event and I don't think I"ll ever get tired of these images!! Seriously, I wish every wedding was as amazing as this one!!
