Hallie and Arthur wanted a small wedding with just their closest family and friends present. Actually Hallie’s father wanted to walk his daughter down the aisle in some manner, so the couple decided to plan a last minute wedding.

Though Hallie and Arthur usually live in Seattle , she was spending a few months living and working in Washington DC – and fell in love with the city! It was because of that fact that they choose Patterson Mansion as their wedding venue!

Wedding Portraits at Patterson Mansion

Patterson Mansion is a very cool venue in DC for wedding portraits because every corner of the property feels visually rich without needing much additional styling.The historic interiors, dramatic staircases, and soft winter light created portraits that felt timeless and romantic while still remaining natural and relaxed.

And before the severe snowstorm arrived, we stepped outside into the cold DC air for a quick first look.

A Cozy Winter Wedding in Washington DC

Winter weddings in DC have a completely different feel than weddings during the busy spring and fall seasons.There is a softness to January light that photographs beautifully, especially inside historic venues like Patterson Mansion. The overcast skies outside created the perfect contrast to the warmth inside the ceremony space—glowing candles, beautiful vows, and just the closest family and friends gathered close together making Hallie and Arthur’s day perfect!
