DC Smithsonian Castle Elopement
The Smithsonian Castle is the original building of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. It was completed in 1855 and serves as the institution's administrative headquarters. The castle was designed by James Renwick, Jr. in the Gothic Revival style and is made of red sandstone. It houses Smithsonian offices, as well as a museum displaying artifacts and information about the Smithsonian's history. Visitors can take tours of the castle and see its beautiful architecture and gardens. The Smithsonian Castle is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public daily, admission is free. The Enid A. Haupt Garden is a beautiful and popular garden located behind the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, D.C. It was created in 1987 and is named after Enid A. Haupt, a philanthropist and supporter of the Smithsonian Institution. The garden is designed in a formal style, with a large central fountain and a variety of seasonal flowers and plants. It is divided into several smaller garden spaces, each with its own unique character and design. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the garden throughout the year, as the plants and flowers are changed seasonally to provide a variety of colors and textures. The garden also features many sculptures and monuments, including a bronze statue of James Smithson, the founder of the Smithsonian Institution. The Enid A. Haupt Garden is free and open to the public from dawn to dusk, and it offers an oasis of greenery and tranquility in the heart of the city.

Washington, DC Self Officiated Wedding Ceremony at Lafayette Park
A self-uniting marriage is where couples are married without the presence of a third party officiant. Only a few states in the US offer this option. Washington, DC is one of the few places where you can self officiate your wedding ceremony! I met this couple at the Hay Adams while they were visiting DC to photograph a few portraits on the rooftop with the view of the White House, Washington Monument, and Jefferson Memorial. After some wedding portraits at the Hay Adams we walked over to Lafayette Park in front of the White House for their self-uniting ceremony!

Intimate weddings are so important in many ways and my clients decided to elevate their day with multiple locations. We started with getting ready photos at their home in city center in Washington, DC. Their ceremony was at the DC War Memorial, where they said their vows surrounded by close family and friends. This DC couple chose their wedding date and venue around the highly anticipated peak bloom of the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin. Therefore, we photographed portraits at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and the surrounding area. Their day continued with an intimate reception at the Conrad Washington DC, a new luxury hotel in the city.

They became my bridal party's new favorite people! Jon is so open and accepting, and he really made it fun and easy to be ourselves on camera. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day.
