We had the pleasure of photographing this spectacular event held in the stately Great Hall with a dazzling cocktail reception on the main level. After mixing and mingling, guests were served an exquisite three-course seated dinner on the mezzanine. We were blown away by the stunning event produced by CSI DC that included a surprise concert by a cappella group, Afro Blue from Howard University! CSI DC is a distinguished destination and event management group that excels in designing and coordinating special events meant to inspire, excite, and captivate. They offer exclusive rentals, coordinate remarkable shows, assist with branding events, and transform venues into magnificent themes through extraordinary décor. They truly are one of the best in the industry, and we are always amazed by their work. They are such a pleasure to work with. The Great Hall located in the library’s Thomas Jefferson Building is a two-story room decorated in the Italian Renaissance style with beautiful murals, mosaics, and vaulted marble ceilings. The lighting makes the ornately painted architecture, columns, and archways look even more regal. All guests who walk in seem to pause for a moment, mesmerized by the splendor. Built in the 1890’s, the Jefferson Building is located at 10 First Street, S.E. directly across from the U.S. Capitol. It is truly a site worth seeing—can you imagine hosting an event surrounded by such grandeur? Your guests will be awed by this magnificent space which can accommodate up to 450 people for cocktails and seated dinner and up to 1200 for a standing reception. In addition to CSI DMC’s phenomenal planning, the wonderful entertainment, and exceptional venue, several others helped take this event to the next level. We were in love with the work by: Susan Gage Caterers, DC Rentals, Syzygy Event Productions, and Event EQ. Library of CongressAddress: 101 Independence Ave SE, Washington, DC 20540

This is one of our all-time favorite events of the year: the Annual Oscars Viewing Party at The St-Regis Washington, D.C. This blog post features the event held in March 2018, and just by looking at the phenomenal layout, design, and décor, it’s safe to say that the real award should go to At Event Photojournalism, our team of DC Event Photographers have had the honor of photographing incredible events for over 20 years…and this was by far one of the highlights! The team at Design Foundry are true artists with a vision that is truly Oscar-worthy. See for yourself… Their flawlessly designed sets engaged and immersed guests into the following 2018 Oscar nominated films including The Post, Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name and Darkest Hour/Dunkirk. We also have to give a huge shout out of appreciation to The St. Regis Hotel for hosting everything. They were exceptional to work with, and the space was perfect for the event. Everything was a huge hit. As usual, it was truly a pleasure to photograph this remarkable evening. About the VenueThe St. Regis Washington, D.C. As Washington’s ideal meeting location, The St. Regis Washington, D.C. has eight distinguished meeting rooms. A total of 11,388 sq. ft. ensure successful gatherings from executive round table meetings to grand occasions. The urban oasis of the outdoor Astor Terrace and the spacious elegance of the Astor Ballroom set the stage for luxurious events. Oscars Viewing in The Astor TerraceThe Astor Terrace was undeniably glamorous as it got dressed up for the Oscars Viewing Party. The tented Terrace served as the Red Carpet Movie Theatre where guests enjoyed live screening of the Oscars. The Post RoomIn The Post room, letters in different fonts lined the floor, and a vintage typewriter and a rotary dial telephone wrapped in newspaper added fun accents to the bar area. Their work is truly something you would have to see to believe, and it was our job to capture the magnificence on camera. Our team at Event Photojournalism had an amazing time photographing it all. The Shape Of Water RoomIn Shape of Water room, cool blue-green lighting filled the room, and furniture hung suspended from the ceiling as if we were all underwater. The Darkest Hour/Dunkirk RoomIt was everything we could have imagined for an Oscar-themed party, and more! Guests were truly wowed, and everyone spent some time exploring the different rooms and commenting on the splendidness of it all before settling into their seats for the viewing.

The post Venue Feature | Event Photography at The Showroom Washington DC appeared first on Event Photojournalism. via Blog – Event Photojournalism https://eventphotojournalism.com/venue-feature-event-photography-at-the-showroom-washington-dc/ As you look out on the cityscape of Washington DC, you’ll see two tall, elegant buildings with stunning architecture rising into the clouds. They stand out among the rest as exquisite structures that have stood the test of time as far as design and beauty. Together, these two magnificent structures make up the Washington National Cathedral. An Event Fit for RoyaltyWe recently had the pleasure of photographing an extraordinary event held at the elegant cathedral. As we stood outside the steps looking up, we knew that any event held here must be a monumental, but as we stepped inside the grand entryway, it was beyond anything we could have anticipated. Shades of violet, pink, and blue lighting shone across the carvings, columns, and architectural features, making the details even more exquisite. This looked like an event for royalty. The event designers at Hosts DC, a full-service destination management company, did a phenomenal job (as usual) at fulfilling the vision of their clients with an exceptional experience. Their attention to detail makes them one of the best in the industry! And we can’t forget to mention the other excellent vendors who made this magical night possible: Atmosphere Lighting, Occasions Caterers, Duran Florals Design, and MSE Productions helped take this event to the next level! Congratulations to everyone involved! And the accompanying entertainment matched the splendor: a men’s chorus sang handsomely, and two harp players made their magic under the center spotlight of the room. Before the dinner and concert, there was plenty of space for guests to mix and mingle down the long foyer of the cathedral as they took in the beauty of it all. For dinner, traditional candelabras and smaller candles glowed on the tabletops, and the flowers matched flawlessly. It was certainly an evening to remember, and our team at Event Photojournalism enjoyed every minute of photographing it! The Washington National Cathedral is located at 3101 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016.
