DC War Memorial Wedding | Jenelle & Harry
Classic DC Wedding at DC War Memorial & Hotel Washington
Jenelle & Harry’s DC War Memorial & Hotel Washington Wedding day was the perfect blend of timeless tradition and modern city style, with just the right dose of fun.
The two met back in 2017 when their friend groups collided in NYC—her college roommate started dating one of his camp friends (they’re married now, so clearly a good matchmaking streak!) Fast forward to their own big day, and their DC celebration was packed with thoughtful details, family ties, and unforgettable views.
They got ready at the stylish Hotel Washington, and one of my favorite moments was how the couple chose to deliver gifts to one another in their getting-ready suites.
Harry sent a ring bearer wearing a bear costume over an alien suit to deliver the gift of pearl earrings that Jenelle wore that day. We coordinated so that the adorable little ring bear made his appearance while the bride and bridesmaids were taking robe shots so that we could capture their reactions!
Jenelle then followed suit by sending a flower girl to deliver Harry’s gift.
Another sweet touch was Jenelle’s bracelet, a piece that belonged to her grandmother, a little heirloom that made their details even more meaningful.
The wedding party cruised to and from the War Memorial Wedding ceremony in adorable vintage carts (such a vibe.)
Meanwhile, the couple walked the city for portraits at the Lincoln Memorial and the always-gorgeous Congressional Gardens.
It was prom day, so the reflecting pool and the Lincoln Memorial were crowded with celebrating high schoolers. So, of course, we grabbed a photo with a group of them to commemorate the event!
Afterward, cocktails flowed at the Vue Rooftop with sweeping views of the city, and the party continued with a chic reception in the ballroom at the Hotel Washington.
It was a day full of joy, sweet nods to family, and a whole lot of love. Jenelle & Harry, thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful and FUN celebration! You two are just the best.
