Mary & Sean
On a brisk January morning, Mary and Sean came together to tie the knot in a beautiful and joyous celebration. Their day was truly a reflection of their love; it was simple, elegant, and sincere. The bride and groom decided to forgo a few typical or grandiose wedding traditions in order to create a day that was entirely their own, filled with meaning and memories that will last forever.
When Boizelle Affaires arrived in the morning, Mary was getting ready in the comfort of her own apartment with some of her closest friends. Her simple yet shimmering wedding dress perfectly reflected her personality. Mary was calm and peaceful as she made final preparations to meet her groom just a few blocks away before their Nuptial Mass.
As the time approached for the ceremony, Mary and Sean had their first look at Logan Circle followed by bride and groom portraits before heading to the Church. On their way to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, they stopped at Sean’s aunts townhome to pick up Mary’s bridal bouquet and Sean’s boutonniere. They shared a toast and then headed out on their way to the church hand in hand. It was a truly a meaningful way to start the next chapter of her life.
Perhaps one of the most touching moments of their wedding was how the bride and groom entered into the ceremony. Mary and Sean chose to escort each other down the aisle, presenting themselves in front of the priest as the ministers of the sacrament of marriage. This simple but powerful gesture set the tone for the ceremony, where every word and moment felt deeply personal.
Immaculate Conception Church in Washington D.C. was adorned with soft lighting and floral arrangements, as well as the festive reminders of the Christmas season. As the bride and groom vowed to spend their lives together, it felt traditional yet uniquely theirs. There was an aura of sincerity and joy, love and faith.
After the ceremony, the celebration continued in the church hall next door, a space that had transformed into a warm, welcoming ballroom and true reflection of the couple’s style. The couple chose a setting where they could spend time with their most cherished friends and family through a reception that was intimate and inviting.
From the beautiful winter décor provided by Sean’s aunt, to their choice of serving delicious artisanal pizza to the heartfelt toast from the bride and groom, everyone feel like they were part of something unique and special.
As the evening came to a close, the newlyweds walked out of the church hall, hand-in-hand once again, ready to begin the next chapter of their life together. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Emerson!
