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!

Farm Fresh Wedding: Leslie & Sean

Every once in a while, a wedding charms you and blows your mind away.  You fall in love with the couple, you like everything about their choices, their personalities, their family and friends.  You feel a connection that is awkward when you see them again: you act like you’re seeing your long lost friends and they don’t recognize you.  Embarrassing!  😉  Anypoos, all of us at Dolce feel this way about Leslie & Shawn, who married last May. We hope you enjoy watching these samples from their film and that this spring wedding on a farm, loaded with personal details, inspires you while you plan your own wedding!

and while that was fun as an intro – here’s the finale highlight reel (which recaps the whole day from start to finish and includes some of the footage you saw above, and many new shots too).  I couldn’t decide which to post, what can I say?!

Kate & Josh: A Wedding at Congressional Country Club

We have been shooting at Congressional Country Club for many years and always love working there!   Aside from hosting three U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship, the gorgeous facilities and sprawling grounds have also embraced many a couple for whom we filmed their special day.   It’s an honor for us to film at a site that has seen many of our nation’s most distinguished politicians discuss policy on its fairways and greens since it was first opened in 1924.  On Kate & Josh’s big day this past June 25, we captured the event together with Andrea Jacobson from The Observatory.   We love working with Andrea and her team and we highly recommend T.O. to prospective couples!  Please enjoy a glimpse of this special site and sweet couple in these photos Andrea has shared with us.
