The staff at the Fairmont was so wonderful and accommodating! They let us almost completely rearrange their display in the courtyard for Ajith and Catherine’s first look and made sure that someone was always on hand to help or answer questions if needed. Catherine and Ajith picked this hotel primarily because of the reception room and I completely understand why! It is a gorgeous room with a raised dance floor, and had such a unique look compared to most hotel ballrooms. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in washington dc, and make sure you ask for Mark Medrick, he was wonderful! Enjoy part 2 and a little peek at their reception! :0)
GORGEOUS centerpieces! i loved the lights and candles everywhere! Since they love this room so much we took just a few more minutes for some portraits of them once the room was all set up! first dance: I’ve seen quite a few choreographed first dances, and theirs was hands down one of the best I’ve ever seen!
love this one of Catherine’s dad during his toast: her Uncle Roger gave a sweet blessing before the meal; you can tell how important he is to Catherine and her family: it was a serious dance party ;0)
a little ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ action as the last song of the night, this guy was a pro at the air guitar: one last kiss to close the evening: Hope you had a fabulous honeymoon! Here’s your slideshow! :0)

Jessie,
Hopefully you remember me from Langley … I LOVE your photography! I’ve been coming to your blog since you photographed the Lawlors. :) You do such a beautiful job and you’re so passionate about it. My mom is a wedding planner/dress designer in the area and I’m going to show her your work so she can recommend it to people.
Hope all is well with you!
