When it came to their wedding, both Bonnie and Filipe were excited to be with their favorite people all in one place.(Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

Having lived in the city for nine years, Bonnie knew she wanted a D.C. wedding. (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

She also knew that she wanted a unique space with turnkey management so everything could be as streamlined as possible. (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

Bonnie knew that District Winery was opening in Capitol Waterfront before they even broke ground, so she teed up a call with the winery to discuss their wedding day, and the rest is history! (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

"We knew we wanted an amazing food and beverage spread and that is exactly what we got with District Winery." (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
