Carsen and Florent's Willard Hotel Wedding
Updated: 2 days ago
Carsen and Florent's Willard Hotel wedding in Washington, DC is told through the photographs below: a dress hanging in the window, portraits outside, the ceremony, and a reception filled with flowers and candlelight.
Purple stationery and blue jeweled details open the gallery. Later, the same purple palette appears in the place cards and wedding cake. Alongside those details are the two of them holding hands, exchanging rings, and smiling together at dinner.

Wedding details and Washington, DC portraits
Portraits and ceremony moments
The outdoor photographs include portraits of Carsen and Florent and their wedding party beneath the Occidental sign. These frames show the street setting around their celebration, rather than an interior room at the Willard.
In the ceremony photographs, wood paneling and chandeliers frame the wider views. Closer photographs follow their hands, the ring exchange, and their walk back between the seated guests.
Reception details and celebration
White drapery, greenery and hanging glass candle holders surround the reception tables. The gallery moves from the wider room to individual place settings, flowers and the table cards.
Carsen and Florent appear together at the dinner table before the gallery closes with their purple-and-white cake and the two of them cutting it. The details belong alongside the photographs of the people who brought the room to life.
Planning your own Willard wedding
For current ceremony and reception options, see the Willard's official wedding information. Confirm the spaces, access and vendor arrangements for your own event with the hotel. The photographs here document Carsen and Florent's celebration; they do not establish what is included in a new booking.
Willard wedding photography questions
Can we use hotel rooms or staircases for portraits?
Only if the hotel and your agreement allow it. Ask which rooms, staircases, entrances, and outdoor areas are approved for photography, and confirm any access changes before the wedding. A gallery from another event is visual reference, not permission for your event.
How much time should we allow for Willard wedding portraits?
Build portrait time around the ceremony, booked spaces, family groups, room resets, and the walk outside if you want portraits beyond the hotel. The right amount depends on your schedule and access, so map the route with your planner instead of borrowing another couple's timeline.
What should we send a Willard wedding photographer?
Send the date, booked spaces, ceremony time, reception plan, family photo priorities, and any access or vendor restrictions. That gives your photographer a workable plan without assuming every part of another gallery applies to your day.
