Still swooning over L+T’s wedding Saturday at the Meridian House, a moody candlelit dream for two American University alums who met the summer of their junior year and never looked back. Bridesmaids and groomsmen by their sides since those early AU days — the kind of friendships that have witnessed every chapter.
Saturday’s design leaned fully into romance: layered burgundy and rich crimson florals, warm gold accents catching the glow, and so many candles the entire room flickered like a love letter. Congrats L+T, we loved being a part of your big day❤️🥂 Special thanks to the insanely talented @eliturnerstudios for sharing the gorgeous sneak peaks. Can’t wait to see more!

We have had the pleasure of working with Washington DC based wedding photographer @eliturnerstudios for over 7 years on nearly 100 album designs! Eli is such a talent and truly a joy to work with. We feel so spoiled to get to work with his incredible images!
The album design we get to share with you today begins with 3 spreads of the couples’ rehearsal dinner and then transitions to the wedding day at the stunning Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. The gorgeous mansion, gardens and the bride’s flowing cape made this wedding look like a fairytale come to life! Eli found the most picturesque locations on the property to shoot the portraits and the reception was such a grand celebration!
It is an honor to be Eli’s album design company of choice and we are so excited to share this design with you!
Go big or go home... especially at Union Station! ✨
For Sarah & Adam, we created a wedding design that felt both lush and dynamic, balancing low, sprawling arrangements with soaring greenery and classic white phalaenopsis orchids to command attention in this grand space. Thoughtfully designed lighting amplified every petal, making the florals glow just as beautifully as the newlyweds. A true showstopper and a personal favorite! 🤍✨
