The wedding celebration (emphasis on celebration) of Erin and Don was everything I expected: classy, fun and thoughtfully planned. Everything—from the girls getting pretty at the W Hotel, to the harpist accompanying the ceremony and the charming British officiant, to the rooftop reception at the Ronald Reagan Building in downtown DC—made this a memorable night. A collection of motown hits set the mood and Georgetown Cupcakes were abundant. Erin and Don's closest friends and family had flown in from all over the country, and some had flown in from places abroad... and it was clear: they were here to celebrate.

Knowing Erin and Don for over a year now, I knew there was plenty of reason to celebrate. It's visible how much they are in love with one another. They are a perfect match, both smart, successful, witty, and laid back. Not long ago, Don safely returned from a stint in Iraq. Erin's dog, Phebe, is also in love with Don. And they have a bright future ahead of them.

But I guess I underestimated the scale of celebrating that would take place. After the pronouncement of "Husband and Wife" the people were ready to party. On a scale of 1-10, the fun factor was an 11. DJ Lauren Bobby kept everyone on the dance floor until the staff started kicking people out. And even then, the fun could not be contained as many of the guests migrated to the afterparty in the bar of the W until the early hours of the morning.

Erin and Don, thank you so much for letting me be there for this celebration, to meet your friends and your family, and to document the day. I hope the photos remind you of how epic of a party this was and special all the people you love are!
