A Historic Backdrop Meets Timeless Romance for Chelsey & Ian
If you’re planning a DAR Constitution Hall wedding, you’re in for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Located just steps from the White House and offering views of the Washington Monument, this iconic venue combines American history with timeless architectural beauty.
Chelsey and Ian’s summer wedding at DAR was the perfect blend of tradition, elegance, and personal charm. After their spring cherry blossom engagement session, I knew their wedding would be just as meaningful—and it didn’t disappoint.
As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love shooting at DAR Constitution Hall for its:
Whether you’re a history buff or simply love grand, elegant spaces, the DAR provides a timeless and unforgettable backdrop.
The day began with a private first look and portraits in the heart of D.C., followed by a breathtaking ceremony with the Washington Monument in the background. Chelsey and Ian chose to do their first dance outdoors at the end of cocktail hour—a unique and emotional moment that set the tone for an intimate evening dinner inside the Hall.
One of my favorite personal touches? I sourced vintage DAR memorabilia from Etsy to style their flat lay details—an intentional nod to the couple’s love for history and the unique venue they chose.
“If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding in the best way — she is your girl. As a couple that chose not to do a videographer, we wanted to make sure that we had the best photos to capture our day. Megan did just that and MORE. Her and her team captured beautiful moments throughout the day and made sure nothing went un-captured. The photos from our wedding turned out beautiful and I hope that you choose to work with Megan too!”
I’m always honored when couples like Chelsey and Ian trust me to tell their story—especially in such an iconic place as the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Constitution Hall.
If you’re envisioning an elegant, historically rich wedding in the heart of Washington, D.C., I’d love to help you plan the photography timeline and capture your day with artistry and intention.
