Brianna and Alaa Elopement at DC War Memorial

Brianna and Alaa aimed for a no-fuss elopement, seeking minimal drama and stress but desiring maximum joy, beauty, and memorable photography moments. Brianna and Alaa share a disdain for the ‘traditional’ wedding elements. Brianna opted for a black ensemble, aiming for a ‘spooky-chic’ or ‘Stevie Nicks Goes To A Business Meeting’ vibe. Their best friend, Sundus, officiated their amazing ceremony at the DC War Memorial. The only attendees at this lovely intimate wedding were their parents and Alaa’s siblings. The ceremony featured no music, decorations, or chairs; it was a simple affair. Sundus delivered a beautiful speech, Brianna and Alaa exchanged rings, and the ceremony concluded with a champagne toast.

In their initial email, they expressed, ‘We honestly care more about getting awesome photos than the details of the ceremony.'”

Typically, intimate ceremonies, those with 20 guests or fewer, often choose to plan their receptions in a restaurant. Brianna and Alaa opted for Planta in Bethesda to celebrate their day—a perfect conclusion to their special celebration!

Alaa left the sweetest review on my Google page.

“I am a clueless groom especially when it comes to knowing what to do for pictures but Natasha made our lives so easy and fun with ideas of what do do for pictures and easy ways to show our feelings and she succeeded so much. She did everything and more for us and I can’t imagine our wedding without her.”
