There’s something undeniably magical about a Christmas wedding—the twinkle of lights, the rich greenery, and the cozy warmth of shared celebration. Lindsay and Nick’s wedding at The Birkby House in Leesburg, Virginia captured all of this and more, a day that felt intimate, joyful, and effortlessly timeless.
As a Washington D.C. and Loudoun County wedding photographer, it’s always a gift to witness couples fully embrace their day, surrounded by beauty, love, and meaningful details.
A Classic Holiday Celebration in Loudoun County
From the moment guests arrived, The Birkby House set the perfect scene for Lindsay and Nick’s holiday-inspired celebration. The color palette of forest green, evergreen, ivory, black, and touches of gold brought warmth and sophistication to every corner. Personal touches like the ornaments hand-designed by the bride and the venue sketch by CloverAndLamb added layers of intimacy and charm to the day.
This Leesburg venue provided an elegant backdrop for both the ceremony and reception, perfectly suited for a Christmas wedding in Northern Virginia.

Live music brought life to the celebration, with Caleb Nei on piano, Kevin Johnson on bass, and Dominic Cardinal on drums, while the dance floor came alive thanks to DJ Nick Caracciolo of DJ Stacks. Every moment felt intentional, luxurious, and purely effortless.
