Heidi & Jason | Clarendon Ballroom wedding | Arlington, VA

Heidi and Jason got married at the funky, retro, jive Clarendon Ballroom, under moravian stars and with some serious block-rockin' beats. These two put so much work and love into their wedding and it really showed. Plus, they wanted to use our 15-minute pre-ceremony portrait window to do pictures on the metro escalators, which, needless to say, is incredibly rad.
