Carly & Patrick were married on a lovely spring day in April 2011 during the National Cherry Blossom festival in Washington DC. The ceremony took place inside the Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart, located in the Dahlgren Quadrangle on the campus of Georgetown University. After the ceremony, we took wedding photos around the beautiful campus of Georgetown University, including the front side of Healy Hall. There are so many fantastic photo opportunities at the campus and surrounding in downtown Georgetown. The reception was held at the Old Ebbitt Grill, the famous historic Washington restaurant located next to the White House.
The groom and his groomsmen got ready at the Key Bridge Marriott Hotel on Lee Highway in Arlington, VA. The Key Bridge Marriott is in a perfect spot located in Roslyn, just a quick 5 minute drive across Key Bridge to Georgetown.
The bride and bridesmaids had their hair & makeup done at Jon David Salon in Arlington, Virginia.
The ceremony was in the Dahlgren Chapel at Georgetown University.
Their ceremony was officiated by Father Alexei Michalenko who had some very beautiful words to say during the service.
We absolutely loved the wonderful color scheme of the wedding, with dresses and flowers in shades of champagne and aubergine. The florist for the wedding was Jill Medawar at Toulies en Fleur Floral Design.
We took more photos outside of Healy Hall on campus at Georgetown University. So many amazing spots for photography around the gorgeous campus!
The couple’s wedding reception was at the famous Old Ebbitt Grill, a fabulous restaurant and the oldest “Saloon” in Washington DC (founded in 1856).
The wedding cocktail hour was on the rooftop of the Old Ebbitt Grill, which looks out to beautiful views of Washington DC, including a direct view of the White House (with accompanying Sniper on the rooftop of course!).
There was also a nice view of the Washington Monument.

Thanks again to Carly & Patrick for letting us be part of the special day, we had a really fun time with all of the great family and friends. It was a beautiful wedding.
