Wedding at the Fairfax Hotel at Embassy Row

Jean and Ben chose to marry on a beautiful fall day in November at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and the Fairfax at Embassy Row. We started the day at the Fairfax Hotel in Dupont Circle with Ben and the guys as they were getting ready. After spending some time watching the bow tie tying extravaganza, we went upstairs to Jean’s suite where she and the girls were making their preparations.

When the girls were ready we headed out into the beautiful sunny day to the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for Jean and Ben’s ceremony. The church is beautiful – it was our first time working there and the stained glass and altar are dramatic and gorgeous. During the ceremony, Jean and Ben shared so many sweet glances and moments together – it really was a pleasure to document.

After the ceremony and some family portraits, we took photographs of the bridal party and Jean and Ben at the Capitol and then at Meridian Hill Park before heading back to their reception at the Fairfax at Embassy Row.

The ballroom at the Fairfax is so pretty and Jean and Ben chose lovely decor to enhance its classic charm. The evening started with their grand entrance and first dance, followed by toasts and dinner. Mydeejay ensured that the guests stayed out on the dance floor, and the groom’s father sang a song that was one of the highlights of the evening.
