CHAPEL № I
Jefferson Memorial
This famous structure features many breathtaking design elements, like its detailed dome ceiling, mighty colonnade and vast stone staircase. We think you and your beloved will look strikingly presidential under the sun-soaked pillars of the memorial (and the Thomas Jefferson statue agrees).

Meridian Hill Park
You'll be blown away by the majesty of this urban park. Meridian Hill Park houses many famous sculptures, but its most breathtaking feature is the Cascading Waterfall, a gorgeous Italian-style fountain that flows over 13 large basins. Don't worry about getting your feet wet — the waterfall has sturdy walkways with beautiful landscaping flanking the sides.

CHAPEL № VI
Anderson House
An Embassy Row Beaux-Arts mansion, gifted to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1937 and largely unchanged since. Marble grand staircase, frescoed Key Room ceiling, and a walled formal garden behind. The only address in Washington that turns a wedding into a state dinner — and one of the rare D.C. venues that lets a small film crew work under the chandeliers.

X · HONEST ANSWERS
The six questions we answer every week.
Before you write, here are the things couples usually want to know — asked plainly, answered plainly.
01.Why not hire a cheaper videographer?
THE ANSWER
A $1,500 videographer shoots solo, edits in 8 hours, and delivers in 6 months. We send two filmmakers, edit in 60 to 80 hours, and deliver in 8 weeks. Both produce video. Only one produces a film.
02.Do we really need film if we have a photographer?
THE ANSWER
Photos are monuments. Films are breath. Photos hang on walls. Films are what you watch on your fifth anniversary to hear your dad's toast again. Different tools, different jobs.
03.Can we book just the ceremony — three hours, shorter film?
THE ANSWER
Honest answer: no. The film we make is the arc of the whole day — getting-ready light, ceremony, the toasts that made your uncle cry, the last dance. A three-hour cut misses most of what makes a wedding film a film. The shortest option we offer is The Preview.
04.How far in advance should we book?
THE ANSWER
We take 24 D.C. weddings a year, because two of us hand-cut every film. Most 2027 couples book us 10 to 14 months out. May, June, and October are usually the first to sell.
05.Do you travel outside D.C., Maryland, and Virginia?
THE ANSWER
Yes — about six weddings a year. Travel is typically an additional flat fee ($600–$1,800 depending on distance). We've shot in Charleston, Highlands, Napa, Newport, and Tulum.
06.What if it rains?
THE ANSWER
We've shot a ceremony in a thunderstorm at the Jefferson Memorial and it's in our reel. Weather changes the film — it rarely ruins it.
