Holly & Adam at Lansdowne...

I recently photographed Holly & Adams wedding at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg. I've photographed many weddings and receptions at Lansdowne, but this is the first time I photographed one in the ballroom at the golf club. I didn't even know they had a ballroom at the golf club. And let me say.... the ballroom at the golf club is one of nicer ballrooms I've seen. Lansdowne has always been a first class destination venue and continues to be one. When most people think of "destination weddings" they think of a tropical island, but Washington is a huge destination wedding location these days. Because of this, there are many weddings where I don't meet with the bride & groom before the wedding day. Holly & Adam are an example of this. When people ask me if I do destination weddings.... my reply is "of course, almost every week!" The first step to a Jewish wedding ceremony is the signing of the Katubah.

Today, most couples are perplexed about the Jewish wedding canopy (Chuppah). Where do they get one? How do they make one? What size should it be? Rick of Rick's Flowers provided Holly & Adam's (in addition to their flowers) Chuppah so they didn't have to worry about it. The Chuppa was adorned with flowers matching Holly's. I highly recommend Rick's Flowers!

The breaking of the glass ceremony. Mazel tov!!!The grounds of Lansdowne make for some very beautiful images.

Of course a fun, happy, attractive couple always helps too!

The first dance....

Rick did a great job making sure everything came together. The bridal bouquet, the flowers on the tables, the flowers for the cake, everything was stunning.

And where would we be without entertainment for the evening? Dick Dyszel of Sounds Fabulous DJs provided the music and MC'd this event. I've worked with Dick many times and I highly recommend!!

Party time!!

Congratulations Holly & Adam! Thanks for allowing me to capture the memories of your big day.
