Allison + Evan: Married! | Northern VA Wedding Photographer

Allison and Evan were married at the fabulous Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, VA. The Monaco is one of my favorite places to shoot--I love all the bright colors and funky decor. It is definitely NOT your typical hotel! The couple's own unique style even further enhanced the setting. Allison coordinated everything beautifully with a purple and green theme--there were so many great details I had to do 2 collages to show them all!

The bride and groom signed their ketubah before having their marriage ceremony which was presided over by Allison's father, who is a Methodist minister, and their rabbi.

Evan had to offer something of material possession to the bride to seal their marriage--in this case a pen!

Will she take it?

Success!

I love all the art in the Monaco as a backdrop for portraits.

And of course, in Old Town, you just have to take a short walk to find other fabulous locations for portraits!
