Washington DC at it's finest....

Jeff & Susan were recently married at Top Of The Town. We made the most of the clear sky and beautiful city that we live in... the Nation's Capital. Did you know that Washington is quickly becoming a "destination wedding" location? And why not? With so many venue and hotel choices here... it's the perfect spot to get married!

Susan's dress was provided by Blush Bridal Boutique. They offer a unique selection of exclusive and sophisticated wedding gowns and accessories by top designers in the industry. Susan's dress was a Justin Alexander. Maureen Chandler is the person to see over at Blush Bridal... highly recommended!! Tell her I said Hello!!

Here's a shot of make up artist Sherry Restifo at work. If you're still looking for a make up artist... give her a call at 703-980-2377. Nice job Sherry!!!
Flowers for the day were provided by Bergerons Flower & Events located in Springfield. Christi did a great job with such beautiful arrangements.... highly recommended!!

Certified Wedding Specialist Myrna Grossman of For All Occasions, Inc made sure the day ran smoothly. I always highly recommend Myrna. What a difference the day makes when the stress is removed from the bride and placed on the shoulders of Myrna. And did you know that when you hire Myrna, she actually saves you money? Ask her how!!

We made a bunch of stops in DC for some great shots. Here are just a few at and near the Jefferson Memorial.

I love it when there are no tourists anywhere in sight (wink wink).

The ceremonies and reception were at Top Of The Town located in Arlington. The view is breathtaking and the reception room is elegant. The outdoor terrace is perfect for the cocktail hour.... highly recommended!!
Here's a shot of Jeff & Susan checking out the view....

The catering and cake for the evening was provided by RSVP Catering. They did a great job. I've worked with RSVP many times... highly recommended!! The flowers on the cake were of course provided by Bergerons Flowers & Events. They add such a nice touch to cake.

At the end of the reception, Susan prepared for her Pyebaek Ceremony. This is a Korean wedding custom. Here's a shot of Myrna helping Susan.

Part of the ceremony includes the parents throwing chestnuts at the bride, who has to try catching them with her wedding skirt. Here's a shot of the family being told how many children they should expect to have, based on how many chestnuts were caught.

The ceremony is very colorful.

To top everything off, the groom gives the bride, his mother, and new mother-in-law a "piggy back" ride on his back (one at a time!). I must say, this is a first for me. Everyone had a great time and many laughs during this portion of the ceremony. Congratulations Jeff & Susan!!!!
