Totally ROCKED for us as we officially have not had a completely full blown out Jewish wedding until now! And we LOVED it, the families, the couple, the festivities! Talk about laid back, can’t get any better than this we say. Alissa was such a delight to photograph as her and Josh both just wanted great shots. That always makes it so much easier for us when the couples prioritize where and how they want to spend their time and stick to it.

Sue Gould their wedding planner was tentative and helpful. It was our first time working with her and we hope to be able to work with her much more in the future as well. The Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner was the venue in which they were married at and like always they never let you down when it comes to presentation of everything. Plants Etc. out of Potomac handled the decor of the room. Her stunning dress was that from Priscilla of Boston who as we all know has a truly stunning collection. Last but not least the band who we just love, love, love and always look forward to working events with is that of the famous and awesomely talented Black Tie Band, their booking agent we believe is Washington Talent for those of you still looking for entertainment for your wedding. Not only do they provide the music, but sing it solely and participate keeping the crowd on the dance floor and always engaged!

We simply had an awesome time with the family, saw a few old faces of our past clients Adrian and Susan who many know of as the striking blonde bride who was applying make-up in the limo with the very vivid blue light coming in from the background. That is probably always going to be a classic for RP. We also were able to meet Joshua’s sister Kelen Coleman (one of the bride’s maid) who you may know from CSI NY, looks like you may also be seeing her in a few upcoming movies as well so keep your ears and eyes open!

Back to our newly weds, drum roll please for our stunning little duo!

Congrats to Jason and Jill as they officially have taken the leap and are united in matrimony as one! They were married at the beautiful Thorpewood out in Maryland. This place has so much charm to it from the cabins to the woods on down to the streams.

It is always so awesome to see everyone and everthing going eco-friendly. The most interesting of all about this place is that even the toilets are eco-friendly so there is not running water or the need to flush. Okay so to some this may sound crazy and stinky but believe it or not it is not at all, it is just like our standard toilets except there is not septic.

Okay so enough about that and back to our newlyweds Jill was simply breathtaking in her gown that spoke so much about her personality. The flowers that were provided by DiVinci’s Florist were top notch as always and suited the style and nature that was so much a part of their wedding day decor. For those who were present during their vows you could very much feel that it was very spiritual and deep in meaning to both of them. The family continued to party into the night as they had both a band and a DJ who kept the crowd on the floor non-stop! Congrats again to you both!

Okay so the title of this one is more so that of an inside joke as Jess’ Dad had made the comment that in the suit that Ben chose for the guys to wear he felt like he looked like a “Tootsie Roll.” The suits were pretty fly though, very sharp and so Ben’s taste. For those of you who know Jess she is the all American girl, to see her all done up brought sunshine to this otherwise rainy and cloudy day, litterally!

You can see in some of the images how it was looking like it was going to rain on this parade, however maybe just an hour before you could see the clouds begin to separate and the sun make it’s way out onto the Airlie Center in perfect timing for Ben and Jess to share their vows with one another.

When we first met Ben and Jess’ more than a year ago as our clients we never would have thought that they would have become two of our very best friends. Having the two of them as part of our team for the last 8 or so months has certainly brought alot of joy to the Regeti household and seeing the two of them tie the knot yesterday was quite tear jerking for all of us here at Regeti’s including the Perry’s who you all are sure to remember from October 7, 2007 and their feature in the latest issue of Engaged! Magazine. But enough about the Regeti’s and onto our shout outs!

The talented and awesome Mrs. Linda Merritt with Heaven on Earth Wedding Flowers brought Jess’ vision together through her floral work. She totally rocked it as always with the decor. Many thanks goes out to her and her team for their time and talent that had went into making their day so beautiful!

Airlie Center for the wonderful atmosphere that they have created over there with the stunning grounds that they provide to the clients. Everything was in bloom and executed very nicely.

Julie for DOC – Day of Coordination, she made sure everything took place and unfolded as planned. Sincere thanks for a job well done!

R&R whom we should not forget they provided Ben and Jess with their linens, chargers, and votives that made the event and all the details the best that they could be. Laura Eaton over at R&R is truly awesome to work with and can help anyone turn their dreams into reality through the little things that matter most… sometimes that truly is the linens!

Hollin Hall Pastry Shop in Alexandria, the cake…need we say more. Anyone who has tasted their cakes knows what we mean and if you haven’t you certainly are missing out!

And the best we shall save for last …The Perry’s both Terri and Al for bringing everything together. Jess and Ben’s vision for the colors, decor, florals, linens, outdoor decor, menu cards, seating cards, the send off and the get away! Let’s just say everything started with Terri helping Jess run with her ideas and Al helping to implement them. You guys are certainly our two nearest and dearest friends and for that we will always honor you. Special shout outs to Terri Perry for Mothers’ Day as she has become a Mother to many. We love you both very much!

Okay so sorry if we became a little long winded on that one, we just have so much to be grateful for this weekend and did not want to leave any one out! Congratulations to Ben and Jess on their marriage we are so looking forward to watching you both grow together. Now on to the two hawties!

P.S. SO we had to add these shots because if you have checked out Ben’s blog (http://ben.regeti.com) you would know about their love for Cheryl&Co. cookies. Well their favors were these individual cookies in these rafia wrapped chocolate boxes. Let’s just say that none of us knew we had the cookie monster among us! Caught in action the cookie monster himself!
