An Intimate & Luxurious Elopement Dinner at Larz Anderson House

Maria & Amanda are a real couple who are eloping in the Amalfi Coast later this year at the breathtaking Palazzo Avino in Ravello. They were so excited to participate in this shoot to capture some more precious bridal moments for them within the settings of this intimate and luxurious elopement dinner at the Larz Anderson House in the heart of Washington, DC. The concept was inspired by the beautiful Winter Garden of the Anderson house which is beautifully adorned with gold accents and crisp white interiors.

The Anderson House, with its grand staircases and European style gold adorned sitting rooms provided the perfect setting for the most gorgeous portraits with the couple. It truly was the perfect day of memories and a bonus "elopement" for Maria & Amanda as they prepare for their real celebration in Italy this fall!

The brides wore gowns by Ouma Couture and Carine's Bridal Atelier, both very romantic yet classic styles.

The florals were designed by Love Blooms who created soft yet whimsical bouquets, a ceremony altar and a beautiful luxe tablescape.

We recommend a clean palette with minimalistic decor when working in a venue with so much natural character so it does not overshadow the luxurious ambiance of the space, but rather compliments it perfectly.
