Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon was recommended to me by a friend of mine who spent quite a few years living in D.C. It's a gorgeous property, and I was told that they host wine tasting events in the Spring/Summer out on the lawn. I know what I'm doing this summer!

Aladdin was brought in for the Holidays.

A discreet outhouse

George Washington's dentures! They were actually made of lead, cow and human teeth. Not wood.

 After Mount Vernon, we went to Old Town Alexandria for some dinner and drinks. It's such a cute place and I would love to check it out during the day.

One last shot.

Virginia is for Lovers

The beautiful and happy Mr and Mrs!

There was a box of free figurines on the way over, so I took some and hid them all around the venue during the night.

Pretty standard for us.

Epic Bloody Mary bar at brunch.

Two weddings down, two to go! My good buddy, Michael got married in D.C. and we took the opportunity to spend extra time with Cole's family in Virginia. I always love visiting that area and find myself wishing I was back on the East Coast so I could enjoy it more frequently! Someday...

The wedding was great, and Michael designed everything right down to the invitations and the seating assignment cards. I appreciated being at the Kennedy table! Looking at these photos (all with my iphone) I'm starting to appreciate how having a quality camera would be a great investment.
