This day was long awaited- not only because these two were so excited to marry and celebrate, but because the ORIGINAL plan was to get married in June. Coronavirus shifted those plans to August, and thankfully this day was absolutely PERFECT, even with the changes!!

Mallory prepped & dressed at a hotel in the District, surrounded by her best friends, siblings, and mom. She was radiant and a few tears may have been shed. ;) We left to meet up with the groomsmen and Aaron, and found a fairy private pathway for their first look. It was so sweet… I loved watching these two love on each other!!

After formal group photos, we headed to the venue for some family photography and then it was time to get these two wed!! The ceremony held such sweet moments of joy and joyful tears, live music by the best (our old vocal teacher, Lis!) and lots of celebratory hollering once the pronouncement was made. The wedding party sauntered to The Operating Room, and the guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres & drinks during the cocktail hour.

Aaron and Mallory entered the reception, and kicked off the festivities with a sweet first dance. Dinner was served, wine was poured, cake was cut, and the dancing resumed… and we snuck out for a few golden hour photos to end the most perfect day.
