Amanda + Patrick met at a reception on Capital Hill. At the time, Amanda had plans to attend law school…as did Patrick! Not only did they connect instantly but also had intentions of attending the same law school! Most relationships are challenged through the years especially with the hardships and discipline of school but according to this couple they actually enjoyed this time so much!

In their spare time, they enjoy traveling together…especially in Patrick’s restored Fiat…eating (Patrick is apparantly an excellent cook), exploring DC, and volunteering. But the most important part of all this is that they’re experiencing life together.

When Patrick and Amanda began planning their wedding, they decided to host the wedding around New Year’s at the Louisiana Museum! They wanted a formal AND fun wedding reminiscent of the holiday season, southern culture and this sweet couple! Their wedding palette was black, gold and metallics with an art deco/modern aesthetic. Even their stationery and decor reflected this style! The 1980’s fiat became a recurring theme through their cake topper and save-the-dates and the tables were all themed: Christmas, Law School, JMU, Capitol Hill, Washington Mardi Gras/Nationals/The City, San Fran, Spices, Gonzaga & U-High!

But the couple didn’t stop there…they had a second line when entering the venue, beignets, coffee and beads for their guests! 🙂 There was LOTS of dancing and a pom pom exit to send them off. This couple truly thought of it all!

Amanda + Patrick,

Thank you so much for having us there to document your wedding day! It was not only beautiful but I could see how everyone (us included) loved the energy and atmosphere you created! <3 Congratulations on a lovely day…and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
