As you look through the images below, and as I think back on Steven and Claire’s wedding day, what I remember most are the moments of tears, moments when emotions bubbled up in beautiful ways. From Steven seeing Claire at the ceremony, to the speeches and parent dances during the reception, you could see the love their family has for each other.

This was very regal wedding at the Westin Georgetown in Washington DC. Claire chose the most stunning, sleek white wedding dress, with her ladies in classic, formal black bridesmaids gowns.

Things were anything but slow at their reception! Guests never left the dance floor empty; they had it packed all night, through the final power hour with Steven and Claire’s favorite songs! Check out their full photo story below
