Hold on to your horses, boys and girls, because we’ve got a beautiful wedding headed your way with some craaaaazzzzy beautiful couples shots. Here at (once like a spark) photography, one of the things that we absolutely love is the fact that we get to shoot all kinds of gorgeous weddings all over the country. Some are super-rustic, some are uber-traditional and classic, some involve barn animals (seriously!), some are very modern and swanky…you get the point. What is true about each and every wedding that we shoot, though, is that the style is always representative of the couple. We’ve learned along the way that OLAS couples are always, always special kind of peeps – they know who they are, they know what they want, and they know they want the day to be a celebration of the glorious marriage that lies ahead. Courtney and Patrick are no different. Their wedding was sophisticated, stately, and extremely elegant….just like these two lovebirds.

We knew this was going to be a great time when Courtney first contacted us….from Dubai! No seriously, that’s where she lives!! Anyway, Courtney and Patrick both consider DC “home” though neither is officially from there, but they knew they wanted to combine the historical elements of DC into their wedding photos. The results, my friends…..epic if we do say so ourselves. Courtney and Patrick chose to fly in Michael all the way from San Fran to DC for their event, and we think his photojournalistic style was an absolutely perfect fit for this event. Their wedding was held at the beautiful St. Dominic Church in DC, and the reception was held at the GORG DAR Building. One of our favorite things about this wedding was the favors: olive oil. Why olive oil, you ask? Well because Olive You, of course.
