Fathom Gallery Bridal Shower | Washington DC Wedding Photographer

Recently, I had the chance to participate in a really fun giveaway for a Washington DC bride. We wanted to shower a bride who had to postpone her wedding because of COVID-19. So myself and a few other local DMV vendors put together a giveaway for a bridal shower! Our goal was to simply provide a fun, stylish afternoon for her to relax with her girls and just celebrate being a bride. This last year hasn’t been easy for anyone, but couples getting married have had such a hard time! We randomly selected a winner and I was given the chance to meet and photograph Tiesha and her ladies for their Fathom Gallery bridal shower here in DC! 


Fathom Gallery Bridal Shower 

Let me just say: these amazing vendors SHOWED UP! Tiesha’s bridal shower was so gorgeous! With elegant pink and gold details filling the space, she and her ladies were definitely able to relax, kick back, and enjoy an afternoon together. Seriously, these vendors thought of everything. From a champagne wall to the tiny little details on their place settings, it all looked stunning. 

Tiesha and her 8 bridesmaids were able to relax, sip their mimosas and just have fun. I loved how happy Tiesha looked. Her smile definitely lights up a room!! The afternoon was truly about them. They enjoyed a four course meal, played some games all about the bride-to-be, and spent a lot of time laughing together. I had a great time capturing all of them. None of them were strangers to the camera and couldn’t wait to celebrate the bride. Congratulations again, Tiesha! I’m so happy you won and had the chance to relax and enjoy a truly stunning bridal shower here in DC!
