Annie and Bryan
Surrounded by the most loving family and friends on a beautiful autumn day, Annie and Bryan celebrated one of the most important days of their lives in the heart of Washington D.C. Their Nuptial Mass took place at St. Joseph’s Catholic church, just a few steps away from our Nation’s Capitol. Everyone shared in their excitement as they were announced Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Brody for the first time at the altar.
The bridal party was pampered in the bridal suite at The Hay Adams Hotel with country love songs in the background and the windows opened to let in the fresh fall breeze. The girls popped champagne and showered the bride with prayer before heading to the church.
Annie and Bryan honored Bryan’s late mother throughout their wedding day through small, personal touches; some seen and others unseen. It was beautiful to see the love and honor shown for his mother, cherished by all who attended their wedding celebration.
Following the Nuptial Mass downtown, the wedding party took photos at the Capitol while guests headed to The Hay Adams for cocktails. The reception brought guests the most exquisite parts of D.C. from the Hay Adams rich floor to ceiling mahogany cocktail hour to the almost-touching-Heaven rooftop reception with serene views. Guests could soak in the city with almost 360-degree breathtaking views, including the White House and Washington Monument. Annie & Bryan shared a beautiful first dance and then the guests promptly dined and danced the night away! Their sweet southern hospitality extended to all and it was a joy to witness how close their group of friends and family felt.
The evening was filled with gorgeous decor amidst funny and heartfelt speeches from the most important wedding party members. The night ended with Annie and Bryan sharing a last dance alone on the dance floor as guests gathered outside to wave them goodbye. In the words of the father of the bride, Annie and Bryan, we can’t wait to witness you “Make marriage great again!” We truly felt part of the family for that day and are so grateful that the couple chose us to be a part of their perfect day. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Brody!
