The Washington, DC Temple is one of the most beautiful of all the LDS Mormon Temples, and one of the if not the most beautiful buildings in the Washington, DC area. As you round the 495 beltway, the golden spires atop the beautiful white marble towers appear out of nowhere high above the tree tops reaching above to the blue skies, it is a magnificent sight to behold.
Sarah & Quang’s temple ceremony was gorgeous, sun filled- blue skies before them with family and friends gathering from all over the US to be a part of their wonderful day. Their ring ceremony and reception was held in at the Westfields Marriott, a gorgeous colonial styled hotel, nestled in the middle of a secluded area outside Chantilly, VA. If you did not know it, you would think you were in the middle of the country somewhere- not 5 minutes from 66.
Escorted down the aisle by her father, Bishop Barnard, Sarah was stunning. Bishop Barnard also acted as the celebrant over the ceremony which was both quite a special honor for both himself and his daughter, Sarah. Quang’s daughter, Hannah, is a talented pianist and singer. She played during the ceremony and then sang a beautiful duet for everyone. One amazing, talented young lady!
Toasts given by Quang’s uncle and aunt, and Sarah’s Father joined the two families together with love. And then the evenings festivities began with Sarah & Quang’s first dance- they were lovely. The DJ, Matt Hardy of Musical DJs kept everyone tip, tappin’ and jammin’ the entire night!
Congratulations Sarah & Quang. May your lives be filled with love and joy and God continue to bless your new marriage and family.

Kirstan Thomas - Are you located in or near the DC Temple? I am wondering about rates/packages for an LDS wedding in late January. My daughter is to be married there and would like pictures taken at the temple before they return to Lancaster, PA for the reception.
Thank you in advance.
admin - Yes and thank you for your interest. I will contact you.
