After Genelle and Forrest’s wedding in Corolla, NC, Michael and I drove straight up to Washington DC. Along the way I had a slight freakout over getting gas – remember when there was, like, no gas in North Carolina? Well, on top of the gas shortage, they apparently don’t believe in 24-hour gas stations in the Outer Banks, so it was a little white-knuckley for a little while there. But I got over it, we got gas, and all was good in the world.
Andrea and Pete got married at Saint Mary’s Church in Old Town Alexandria. Oh, it was so pretty… old, and ornate, with fabulous stained glass and traditional decor. Just beautiful.
The reception was at the Hotel Monaco, which is an awesome place for a reception. It’s a beautiful hotel, and the staff really seemed to be on top of everything. During the reception, Andrea’s brother presented this hilarious slideshow he created about how Andrea met Pete. It kept the whole room laughing for a good thirty minutes… and I definitely think you should hire him if you need a satirist, because he’s hilarious.
This was a really sweet wedding; Andrea was adorably happy all night, and Pete was all smiles the whole time. We had a great time working with you and visiting Alexandria! Thank you for having us!

We LOVE these photos! You did a fantastic job! Thank you
I love Pete’s face in the pic of us against the yellow wall. He looks like he’s from the 1800′s
Charo, you did such a beautiful job with these photos! This is Andrea’s Mom! I love the photo of Peter and Andrea sitting by the fountain and the gorgeous shot you got of Andrea and the elegance of her dress standing in front of the hotel desk. Also love the one of Andrea and the bridesmaids entering the church. You are a true artist!
Me again, Just had to look at the pictures over and over again….Sweet picture of Andrea’s Dad giving her one last hug before Andrea becomes a married woman. Also, the one of Peter and Andrea is what looks like a very peaceful moment, Peter is looking at the camera and Andrea has her head on Peter’s chest with her eyes closed…..just love these pictues and can’t wait to see all of them!
