Spring Jewish Wedding in Washington DC

Rebecca and Tim’s wedding at President Lincoln’s Cottage was the perfect blend of elegance and ease—set in one of DC’s most peaceful, historic venues, with about 200 of their favorite people (and one very beloved dog!) gathered to celebrate.

Family was at the heart of everything. These two chose to share a first look together on the back lawn with their dog Henry, creating a quiet, emotional moment before the festivities began. Their Jewish ceremony took place under a chuppah on the front lawn, surrounded by spring blooms and meaningful traditions.

After the ceremony, guests moved to the back lawn for a relaxed cocktail hour. The setting felt like an intimate garden party—warm, welcoming, and full of laughter. Every corner of the day reflected Rebecca and Tim’s love for each other and their community.

One of my favorite parts of the day was watching their families interact. From emotional hugs to spontaneous dance floor moments, the joy and pride were everywhere. It was clear how much love surrounded these two.

This was Rebecca’s sweet words after the wedding (published on Google Review): “Natasha was the first vendor we hired after choosing our venue. She is astonishing. She seamlessly blends into the crowd to take photos that capture the essence of your wedding and always manages to find the perfect picture that will make you cry, laugh, and then cry again. She has a remarkable eye. If you want to get away from stilted formal shots and remember and celebrate the actual day of your wedding, work with Natasha. She makes the entire wedding process a joy, from the initial meeting with her to the date night she set up for you to view your photos. She also does “slice of life” engagement shoots which can be a fun and casual date night that she captures with her incredible camera. Everyone has been blown away by the quality of the pictures. There is a reason that she is a top world wedding photographer. I trust Natasha completely. If you are not interested in classic boring posed photos, you can do no better than to hire Natasha Lamalle immediately. She is a true artist with a camera. You will fall in love over and over again through her photos.”
