Lauren & John, an Old Town Alexandria Wedding at the Hotel Monaco

Lauren and John, a charming couple who hail from the Midwest, focused on planning their wedding around the "big picture." Their primary goal was to focus on getting married, and wanted to absorb every minute of their ceremony at their local perish in Old Town, Alexandria. Old Town is their new home and a symbol of their new life together, naturally it was an ideal place to celebrate their special day. That day included a reception, filled with classic details and the beauty of Old Town's Hotel Monaco, where it's atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The friends and family who came to support these two newlyweds couldn't have been more charming and engaged in the festivities. Lauren and John as well were in tune with their guests, making sure they spent time with every friend and family member. Seeing this connection between Lauren, John and their guests is all I could ever wish for my couples on their wedding day. Tune in, have fun, connect and most of all be "in the moment."

Thanks, Lauren and John, for choosing me to document these important moments for you.

All the best, Elisha Maria
