Natalie + Erik were married at The Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA this October and it was such a special wedding! Natalie wanted a beautiful jewel-toned reception space with soft lighting, rich purple and deep blue florals, and lots of candles and Erik was excited for the pie bar from Livin' the Pie Life.
They got ready at nearby at The Alexandrian and traveled around beautiful Old Town Alexandria before arriving at the venue. Berkeley from Flower Gal Co created a stunning backdrop for the ceremony along with lush garland centerpieces, while Main Event Catering effortlessly transformed the space from working art studio to a romantic reception.
After a quick ceremony, cocktail hour kicked off on the top floor and guests were able to grab dumplings and take a walking tour of the resident artists' space. The couple took some time to sneak off for a private moment to enjoy cocktails and appetizers (which I highly recommend!), before joining their guests for their first dance. My Dee Jay kept the crowd dancing all night long, and Tom Tran Photography provided these beautiful images.
