The Hilton, Arlington, VA

The Hilton Arlington has been described as an upscale, elegantly appointed hotel — we totally agree! This venue certainly lends itself well to wedding photography — in fact, locations like these are why we love to photograph weddings in our unique photojournalist style — they make it easy. For a wedding photographer who loves to photograph vivid colors in the decor, unique backdrops around every corner, and romantic lighting and appointments, the Hilton Arlington is hard to beat.
Kristin and B.J. were thoroughly wed on Saturday! Joining our long list, Kristin was a beautiful bride, whose shy smiles, I think, just made B.J.’s heart beat faster. All day she looked like a china doll, so petite!
And we never tire of seeing our grooms watch their brides with love all over their faces — and B.J. proved to be no exception! He has that look, the one we’ve come to love. That’s one of the reasons why we chose the song for their slideshow –
“And I’m shaking, then I’m still
When your eyes meet mine, I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
You sing and I’m killed
I’m just not the same
As I was a year ago and each minute since then”
I am betting that B.J. hasn’t been the same since he met Kristin!
Elegantly modern, the Hilton in Arlington proved to be the perfect place for them to celebrate with friends and family — as Tram said in her wonderful speech, “may the only pain be champagne for these two!” Our favorite part of the evening was the first dance — we love how effortless their dance looked!! B.J. and Kristin, your relationship is warm and loving, and it is clear to us that you share a deep love for each other. It looks as though you have a heritage of parents and grandparents that have shared their love for many years — we wish the same for you two!
Thank you for honoring us, not only by choosing us to document your wedding, but by including us and making us feel like family. Most of all, we very much appreciate how you treated us — we never ask for it, but we are so very grateful when our clients who become our friends feed us just what their guests eat, even seating us at a table. When our clients treat us like friends, we feel so very valued! Being in the same room also ensures that we don’t miss documenting anything.
It was a privilege to be present on the first day of your new family. Joriana and I wish you the greatest happiness as you live, love and laugh through the years ahead!
