Cherry Blossoms!

Posted in Weddings

It has become a yearly ritual that we look forward to. The Cherry Blossom festival! The blooming of the Cherry Blossoms in DC are a sight one should experience at least once in their lifetime. Three thousand of the Cherry Blossom trees were given as a gift to the District of Columbia by Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo Japan in 1912. In 1965, First Lady Claudia Alta Johnson accepted another 3800 trees. Since 1935, the Cherry Blossom festival has been held in DC to commemorate the friendship between the U.S. and Japan.

As with every year, we are delighted to present some of the images from our e-sessions conducted near the Jefferson Memorial, right in the midst of the Cherry Blossom festival and among the beautiful blooming trees. The weather at first was uncooperative, but these “troopers” kept the smiles going and we ended up with some great images. We thank the couples below for braving the weather!

Janet and Dan, beautiful photo! I love the memorial in the background the branch of cherry blossoms in the foreground. So sweet!

Luc Rougee - March 30, 2009 - 12:39 pm

Janet and Dan – The search for the perfect blossom is not a wasted life, as can be seen by your amazing photo. You have found each other and together you have blossomed as a beautiful couple. I see many pretty cherry blossoms in your photo, but the two in the middle are for lack of a better word, perfect!

Kasey - March 30, 2009 - 7:57 am

Janet and Dan, you look so cute together and are framed so nicely in that picture with the memorial in the background and the cherry blossom branches above you. Just beautiful.
