We totally feel like we have been hanging at the Four Seasons in March with some fabulous events! But this takes the cake as we hung out with some of the GREATEST professionals that DC has to offer during Engaged! Magazines Bridal Event of the Year, with so much talent at the Four Seasons on Sunday it was explosive, pretty powerful dynamite came together in their ballroom with the talented team at Amaryllis Flowers combined with DC Rentals, Carl Ray on the Make-up with a little help from famous cake baker Sylvia Weinstock, Andy Kushner Entertainment’s band Sound Connection, all swiftly coordinated by Ms. Jamie Sears of A Simply Chic Event herself! What more could a bride ask for … needless to say we were not able to attend all the FABULOUS hotels that participated like The Willard Intercontinental, The RItz-Carlton in DC, The Hay-Adams and The St. Regis all of which are venues to die for!

Many thanks to Associate Ryan for helping out with capturing the details!

Thanks to Sarah as we were able to snag some awesome shots of the Open House they had last evening. It turned out fabulous of course. They are welcoming all types of events at this spectacular venue. Here are a few of our favorites from the night!

Let’s just state for the record that The Four Seasons knows how to throw a party! Not just any party, but a holiday party in honor of all the employees that stand behind the name! I am thinking perhaps I should put in my application Seriously the staff over there is just amazing. We had a wonderful time partying it up with them as they danced into the night.

Some definite shout-outs need to go to the folks who put it together. Hats off to Mr. Joseph Richter whom brought it all together. To those involved in setting up and pulling the whole theme throughout:

Decor, Linens, Chairs and Furniture: Capital Decor – Kelly Jenkins
Flooring for the Ballroom – All Stage
Pipe and Draping – Fabrications and Avista
Ballroom Furniture – American Furniture
Lighting – Swank
Gambling Tables – Fantasy World
Dancers – Cast of Thousands

Shall we post the images now that everyone is dying to see how it all turned out??? In advance, YES we love the little blingy votive piece on the table, sorry we used so many, but we loved them all!

Four fabulous names in one fabulous evening, what more could you ask for! It was an honor as we were asked to photograph a dinner put on at the Four Seasons Hotel by The Churchill Centre and Museum at the Cabinet War Rooms, London in honor of Bill Marriott with the menu prepared by Chef Michael Mina (Bourbon Steak) himself, who flew in from NY just for the occasion!

The Four Seasons Hotel certainly did not disappoint as the service all around from the wait staff to the presentation of everything they did was just impeccable!

Those in attendance to name a few Laurence Geller, Jonathan Tisch, The Honorable Gordon Smith, Chris Matthews, The Honorable Evan Bayh, The Honorable Susan Collins, The Honorable Judith McHale, The Honorable Mitt Romney, Celia Sandys and of course Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott himself.

The menu (abbreviated of course) consisted of:
Chilled Maine Lobster Salad
Miso-Glazed Chilean Seabass
Mascallan 18 Butterscotch Pot de Creme

It was our pleasure to have been asked to photograph the event. Mr. Marriott is one of the most down to earth individuals that one will ever meet. Modest at best, any of us in the industry who have spent any amount of time at the Marriott hotels know that his employees are representative of who he is as a person.

Congratulations to Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott as he was presented with the Leadership Award.

UPDATE: Thought we would share the video from Suburban Video:

Anyone ever put a little thought into an “After Shoot”? Well we do an awfully lot here at Regeti’s as we have so much fun with our couples who opt for one of these shoots after their big day. It is more or less a time where we can have fun, be overly creative and let our couples think the unimaginable, creating images that they would have never dreamed of doing on the actual wedding day attire. It often starts as a conceptual shoot and takes flight from there, sometimes literally!

As three girlfriends signed up together we had an awesome time traipsing around town capturing shot after shot of the craziness throughout the whole day. Starting from the early morning with Remona and her girls on the hair and make-up, Bill and Cara with Suburban Video who stayed with us all day up until 11pm until all their coverage was complete and the entire RP Team endlessly shooting till they dropped. LINDA MERRITT!!!! How could we ever forget her as she is always there when we need her with her wonderful bouquets! Thank you, Linda!

Thanks to all the girls for being such good sports and doing whatever was asked of them even if it meant endangering their own lives standing next to and chasing after moving and rumbling trains! It was a blast, everyone who participated had so much fun!

Stay tuned for the upcoming video by the talented team over at Suburban Video!

Ofcourse we had to do these too !
