Janina and Dylan planned a wedding day all around their perfect day to day lives, living and enjoying their city, Washington DC. After getting ready near Dupont Circle, they met and had their first look and portraits at the National Portrait Gallery. They then got married and celebrated their love at Iron Gate Restaurant, just blocks away from Dupont Circle. It was the perfect garden party with their closest friends and family members.
After dinner, they cut their most special cake in the indoor dinning room, while the Garden Patio was flipped for the perfect loungey dance vibe. Guests enjoyed espresso martinis and mini burgers to end the night. It really was the perfect way to celebrate J&D’s love!
