Jamaal and Cheree's DC Wedding at the Carnegie Institute

Cheree and Jamaal celebrated their wedding day in a magnificent way just the day after Hurricane Irene pummeled the Washington, D.C. area with intense wind and rain. How lucky we were! It was a gorgeous day after the hurricane and these two are such a sweet couple! You could tell how loved they were by all their family and friends who attended - just genuinely happy to be celebrating with them.

Cheree & Jamaal infused their ceremony and reception with many personal and cultural touches, they were incredibly special and meaningful to everyone involved. John Farr Lighting Design dramatically transformed the dance floor into a romantic setting. The pinkish purple uplighting complemented their color theme perfectly and the room looked lovely! The night was perfect and ended with a splendid send-off of the newlyweds to a classic vintage car.
