College of Physicians Wedding – Nicole and Caleb

You may remember Nicole and Caleb from their GTKY session and sneak peeks 1 and 2. Nicole and Caleb had an amazing day. The most important thing for me at a wedding is the connection I have with the couple and their friends and family. One thing I noticed with this wedding was how much emotion was shared and captured. I believe it was because Nicole and Caleb trusted me completely and let themselves be open and honest.

Another reason I enjoyed this wedding was all the business partners that I got to work with. Judith Campbell from Campbell Studios was the planner and kept everything running smoothly. She had a huge job because the ceremony was in the morning at Christ Church, then a cocktail hour at the Arden Theatre followed by carriage rides and walking tours for guests, an out of town accapella group, another cocktail hour and the reception. I am tired just thinking about it. Beke Beau, make-up artist extraordinaire, made Nicole gorgeous. Ilonka Comstock did the flowers and Kris Sumey of Event Fx did all the lighting at the College of Physicians.

Nicole’s Dress- GORGEOUS!!! Junko Yushioka

Christ Church, 2nd and Market

These dresses were really pretty and each girl chose a slightly different cut based on their own figure and style

This Caleb’s sister, I absolutely loved her look and wish i could pull it off. She also had a cool tattoo.

Just gorgeous and Beke Beau did a wonderful job with nicole’s make-up

Nicole and Caleb left several hours between the ceremony and reception for their formal photos. I love having time to capture the guests during cocktail hour. To many times couples just don’t leave enough time and you end up skimping on both the formal photos and the great candids you can have of all your loved ones at cocktail hour. Why not give yourself the time to enjoy everything and either schedule photos before the ceremony or enough time in between the ceremony and cocktails.

Georgetown Acapella Group sang during cocktail hour and then led the guests up to the reception singing I wanna dance with somebody, which when the geusts entered the room the band was singing as well.

The College of Physicians is a huge room with mahogany trim and old portraits of doctors. It can be pretty dark in there but thanks to EventFx, the lighting brought life to the room and added great atmosphere
