In a city of revered landmarks, the St. Regis Washington, D.C. stands out as a treasured address of uncompromising luxury and hospitality. Weddings take on a heightened air of distinction amidst the flowering oasis of the outdoor Astor Terrace with soothing sounds of the fountain and the dramatic glow of perimeter up-lighting. Just steps away, the sparkling glamour of the Astor Ballroom, the most elegant and romantic room in Washington. In this magnificent ballroom aglow with crystal chandeliers, memorable weddings are the signature of St. Regis style.

My Journey to Becoming a Wedding Photographer in DC
Hi, I'm Rodney Bailey and I live to capture the precious moments of your special day. When I bought my first camera package at age 12, I didn't know I was starting the journey that would lead me to the chapel, but here I am. For 24 blissful years, I've been fortunate enough to photograph countless weddings in Washington DC. There's no part of the process, from preparation to ceremony and festivities that I don't love. Wedding photography for me is about letting the process unfold, capturing the explosion of emotions and hidden tender moments between family, friends, and the happy couple.
My Photography Style - Natural, Photojournalistic, Editorial
Before every wedding, I meet the couple and what I love best is hearing their story, seeing it come alive in front of me as they talk and interact with each other. This is the style that I bring with to my wedding photography. I'm not looking to impose, set up, or manipulate shots. My work is to watch the relationships and personal interactions, to catch the natural drama of the day. At weddings nearly every moment is budding with excitement and the best photographs to encapsulate the day are the intimate candids when people are lost in their own world.
Professional Experience, Style, and Service
After a quarter century of doing wedding photography in Washington DC, my team and I offer the best in the business. It's been interesting watching the unobtrusive approach I love to shoot weddings in become trendy and delightful to be featured in countless wedding magazines as well as honored with the title of Top Wedding Photojournalist by the Washingtonian Magazine for 16 years straight. All that aside, at the end of the day each wedding is unique and I approach it with fresh eyes. This is how I can maintain a freshness and originality that makes the affair all about the individuals and working with them to get exactly what they want.
Stress Free
Even though weddings are one of the happiest days of people's lives, they bring with them a good deal of stress. I set out to make the day worry free, leaving the couple able to bask in the beauty of the moment. I love hearing from the couples how relaxed they felt and that the photographer lifted all the worries from the day. It's important that they know that, while I may sink into the background, I'm always there, ready to capture every detail.

The Italian Renaissance-inspired grandeur of the St. Regis Washington, D.C. adds an unforgettable note of refinement to every function space, welcoming up to 200 guests. Washingtonian Magazine continues to award us the honor of “Best Hotel for Small Weddings,” the highest accolade of industry experts.

During the initial planning phase, the world's top meeting and event planners contributed their recommendations to the building's architectural plan. The result is an event and conference center that incorporates all of today's optimum features. From a small, intimate gathering, to a stately affair of international significance, our building offers event spaces to accommodate every occasion. Fifteen meeting rooms comprise five meeting suites – ideal for a conference of 20 or a presentation for 1,000. Each suite offers a pre-function area with video monitors to broadcast meeting schedules, satellite channels or conference events. Thoughtful attention has been given to the little things too… such as tackable wall surfaces for presentations, built-in shelves for standup displays and in-room glass showcases to display products and bring natural light into each suite. We also offer a 625-seat Amphitheater, two exquisite ballrooms, dramatic exhibition space and many other signature reception spaces.
