Bucolic Bliss: Christy & Greg’s Countryside Wedding

A gorgeous day, an adoring couple and rolling green meadows that spread out as far as the eye can see, what more can wedding goers ask for?  It was our pleasure to film Christy and Greg’s August wedding at Sunset Crest Manor in Chantilly, VA.  Together with photographer Amber Wilkie, I think we captured their fun day true to form.  I love to showcase how photo and video capture an event, so that prospective couples can see just how different and comprehensive having both photo and video coverage of their day can be.  In that spirit, I hope you enjoy perusing Amber’s gorgeous images and watching the fun video montages we created here at Dolce.  Congrats to the happy couple!

Lindsay & Charles: A Spring Wedding at Sixth & I Synagogue and Hotel Monaco (incl. video)

We always love working with Sara Bauleke of Bella Notte and Bill and Anne of Holland Photo Arts, but to add to the sweetness, it can’t get any better than a perfect spring day, a glowing couple, gorgeous ceremony location and fabulous downtown hotel oozing with style and sophistication.  If you didn’t think Youthful Cheer could mix with Downtown Flair, think again!  These stunning photos and video highlight reel showcase just that, and also show you what a great compliment photo and video can be for any happy couple.  Congrats to the stars of this show, Lindsay & Charles, mazel tov!

A Dolce Real Wedding: Sarah Jane & Sam

Labor Day weekend is always one of our busiest weekends of the year.   Why wouldn’t it be?  With 3 potential nights of festivities and 3 consecutive days off work for most guests, it’s easy to plan a wedding where many of the attendees are from out of town.  Being that people feel they’re on vacation, both because it’s a long weekend and they’re in a different city, I think it’s especially fun for us to be privy to the parties that result from the festive mood.   Sam and Sarah Jane’s wedding did not disappoint!  Pucker up, because there are some kissable moments in these images!  The whole affair was held at the Westin Grand Hotel and these gorgeous photos are by Amy Raab.  Enjoy!
