Stacy & Chauncee-Ali wanted different things when it came to planning their wedding day. She wanted an intimate adventure style ceremony and he wanted a reception full of friends and family to dance the night away. They created a hybrid style wedding so each of them could have the wedding of their dreams. In the morning they invited family and a few close friends to their ceremony on the river. On their first date they went hiking together so hiking with their family and friends on the way to say their vows meant a lot to them. After their sweet ceremony we took photos with everyone who attended. Their family and friends hiked back and headed to the Westin in Tysons Corner while Stacy & Chauncee spent some time alone on the river taking photos. Later they met up with their family at the Westin for lunch before changing into their second outfits for their reception. These two had the best wardrobe, the best details, a lovely dinner with emotional toasts and a night full of dancing that rivals any dance party we’ve ever been to. They had it all! What a perfect day, we totally recommend the hybrid style wedding so you can have it all too!

Huge thanks to these special vendors who helped make this day magic!
