A Wedding for Francesca and Alper

We felt like we hit the proverbial wedding planner lottery by selecting Wit Weddings (twins Laura and Erica Long) & give Laura much of the credit for the overall aesthetic. Erica sold me my Oscar de la Renta gown at Saks Jandel in DC & she told me about her sister Laura, the wedding planner. The rest is history.

We loved, loved, loved working with photographer Eli Turner and from the moment we met him for engagement photos last spring at the Jefferson Memorial, we knew we were in perfect hands. He took so many interesting, artsy shots and captured every detail. He had amazing patience on our wedding day.

The service at the Hay Adams was impeccable from start to finish, the food amazing, and all of our family and friends were beyond impressed. It was a warm summer night and all of our guests enjoyed the classic DC and White House views.

Erika Jack (as suggested by our wedding muse Laura) created all of wedding suite paper materials, from invitations, to escort cards to menus (and many other items) gave us an appreciation for elegance on paper we did not know existed. The sage green and light peach inks were unique and exactly what we wanted!
