USS Sequoia Presidential Yacht and Bobby Van's Steakhouse Wedding

 
I was lucky enough to photograph Olivia and Ron's beautiful wedding on the famous presidential yacht, the USS Sequoia. The Sequoia has an interesting history and was frequented by former presidents from Herbert Hoover to  Jimmy Carter. Needless to say, it was part of many historic events and was a fitting choice for their special event. 
 
We took a scenic cruise around Washington D.C. and ended at Bobby Van's Steakhouse for the final destination. Here are some photos from the wedding:

The reception, which took place at Bobby Van's Steakhouse, was the perfect reflection of Olivia and Ron's cultural backgrounds. They blended both cultures beautifully, by offering a mix of cuisines, decorations, music, and traditions.
