Susan & Sujay // Married In Washington, DC

Susan and Sujay were married at the Hamilton Hotel in Washington, DC. Even with the threat of rain and overcast skies, their intimate indoor ceremony was a mixture of two cultures and communities coming together to celebrate their union.

Luckily the rain held out and the newly married couple, surrounded by their loved ones, were able to walk together to the reception at the Lincoln Restaurant. Their guests enjoyed signature cocktails, dance battles, touching speeches, and even a choreographed dance number for the Bride.
