Abigail and John celebrated in style in some of the most beautiful Washington DC wedding venues. Their day was old-world elegance at its finest. It was planned to perfection by Lisa Havard of Havard Events. Let’s relive it, with photography from Kir2Ben.

From Design Mockup...
Here, you can see the digital mockup I sent to the couple as part of their stationery design process. You can see each element included, at scale and in reference to the other elements.
This is part of every proof round! Then, we take what was on screen and it translates to real life.

Getting Ready
Ceremony
Abigail and John had a traditional Catholic mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, which is one of the most iconic Washington DC wedding venues.
Portraits
Design Details from Reception
The private club has asked that no photos of the larger space are shared. Please note this is why there are only detail photos shared here, rather than full-room reception photos or pictures of people from within the space. Shades of blue everywhere, including Delft pottery and embroidered napkins with the couple’s monogram. A moment for Abigail’s reception gown!
