We made a stunning stop in Washington, DC, at the iconic Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) headquarters for a huge Shoot Crawl and it was nothing short of spectacular. With four impeccably styled shoots spread across this historic and architecturally rich venue, attendees were treated to a visual feast of florals, fashion, and perfectly curated wedding inspiration.
Each styled shoot unfolded in a unique setting, highlighting the character and beauty of the DAR property:
✨ The Connecticut Boardroom served as a refined backdrop with its timeless charm and elegant paneling. The floral designs were classic yet modern, creating the perfect juxtaposition against the historical setting.
