Meet Nikki & Frank….their wedding is just too cute…I love it….filled with so many great details and DIY projects and the images are AMAZING……and we have Katie Stoops of Open Air Photography to thank for that….when Katie sent over the images, I had to do my ‘happy dance’….Katie’s work is totally ‘magazine worthy’ and she captured their day perfectly!  We will have a Part I and II of Nikki & Frank’s wedding story….let’s begin with Part I and Katie shares a little info with us….Enjoy!!

‘Nikki and her lovely bridesmaids got ready at Hotel Monaco in Old Town Alexandria, VA. They decided to do all of their fun photos before the ceremony, which is always a plus for everyone! So, we hung out at a little park along the Potomac for a bit then drove right down the street to the Mount Vernon Inn for their ceremony & reception.

I have never been to a wedding that had sooo many flowers. I was in awe! The stunning pinks, oranges, & greens just made you feel like Summer wrapped it’s arms around you. It was A-mazing! Take a look at their cake topper…super cute & painted to resemble them. I would keep those forever. They had a ceramic dish that said ‘To Have & To Hold’ imprinted into the porcelain. It was made by Paloma’s Nest on etsy…gorgeous work! Their table number for each guest was painted onto little sail boats that everyone could take home with them. Nikki’s dress is from Marisa Bridal & shoes by Grace.’

Katie, as always…..your work is AMAZING!!…what a fun wedding for you to shoot….check back later guys for Part II….lots of pretty details…..you will love it….stay tuned!!!
