A Sweet Courtyard Elopement at The Athenaeum

Erica and Hirsch's intimate June elopement in historic Alexandria was a dreamy summer celebration, embracing the timeless charm of the Athenaeum's verdant grounds and private brick courtyards. Dressed in a sleek long-sleeved gown, the radiant bride carried a vibrant bouquet of pink peonies, orange roses, purple anemones, and lush greenery, all beautifully arranged by Enchanted Florist, as she exchanged vows with her groom under a floral- and fabric-draped archway.

Katie Lewis captured the couple's romantic, late-June ceremony and joy-filled newlywed shots among the verdant landscaping, brick alleyway, inside the art gallery, and with their family dog. In the elegant gallery space, the couple's family helped them prepare for the celebration, taking in the venue's historic and glamorous charm.

Erica and Hirsch's summer wedding at the Athenaeum was a true Alexandria affair, blending the city's storied past with a modern, stylish celebration of love.
