I‘ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, just because you don’t have 100+ people at your wedding, doesn’t mean you can’t pick super fun and personalized details to make your wedding day shine & be truly “you”. This is EXACTLY what Quentin & James did and why I had SUCH a hard time narrowing down images from Robin Shotola Photography to include in today’s real DC wedding feature! Using pops of purple, some serious style choices, and a super modern font for their “Q & Chu” themed details (even embroidered onto their shirts!) these grooms ROCKED their intimate DC wedding. A beautiful ceremony at the DC War Memorial, with some awesome portraits and a gorgeous reception (which their friends designed & styled!) – I love it!

Your favorite part of the wedding planning? The creative parts selecting flowers, designing the invitations, creating the feel of the reception. Vendor selection, we were very careful when selecting vendors. We interviewed each vendor to ensure they were of like mind and shared our vision of our wedding day.

Wedding advice?

Keep is simple, be true to how you are as a couple and don’t let outside voices tell you what you day should or should not be. Think out side the box, weddings do not have to conform to any standard, and make it fun and something you and your guest will remember for years to come!
