A Rich History
Upon entering the George Washington Hotel, the grand architecture will instantly strike you. Distinguished architect William Lee Stoddart designed the hotel in 1922. The grand opening was February 22, 1923, on George Washington's birthday. In the nearly one hundred years since, the George Washington Hotel has hosted an endless stream of fascinating guests, including Bob Hope and the Beatles. John F. Kennedy even gave a speech in the Oval Room when he was first campaigning for the presidency.

How can we book you?
You will get both! I photograph every wedding using two different cameras -- one dedicated to black and white and the other to color. The ratio of black and white to color photos you receive in your gallery may change based on your chosen wedding colors, venue, and/or preference. If you see a black and white image that you want in color, or vice versa, it is very likely that I will have it and can add it to your gallery.
I see mostly black and white Photos in your portfolio. will we get ANY photos in color?
