Lynn and Rich
Wedding at the Watergate Hotel
in Washington, D.C.
Lynn and Rich's wedding at the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC was one of those days that felt elevated from the very beginning, not in a stiff or formal way, but in the way that only happens when a venue, a couple, and the energy in the room all line up.
The ceremony was a beautiful Jewish wedding, full of tradition and meaning. Under the chuppah, surrounded by family and close friends, Lynn and Rich exchanged vows that were personal and unhurried. The moment Rich broke the glass and the room erupted, that's always one of the best moments of any Jewish wedding, and this one was no different.
The Watergate's spaces are genuinely stunning to shoot in. The mix of curved architecture, warm lighting, and that unmistakable sense of DC history gives every frame a weight and elegance that's hard to replicate elsewhere in the city. From portraits in the hotel to the full reception, the venue created a continuous visual backdrop that never got old.
As a Washington DC wedding photographer, I've shot at a lot of iconic venues in the city, and the Watergate stands out. It's the kind of place that feels historic and modern at the same time, which makes it especially well suited for couples who want something both timeless and personal.
Congratulations Lynn and Rich!
