Vernon Athletic Club massage.  Steven Halperson/Tisara Photography, Steve Hunt and Rene Abella offered photographic head shots.  Kevin Peck, KP Creative PR, designed the reception.

A Love Story - Karla and Billy

Karla and Billy met on a Spring day in 2008 at an outdoor food festival in Arlington, VA called the Taste of Arlington. They were introduced by mutual friends and spent the day walking around the festival sampling specialties from area restaurants and getting to know each other. Karla and Billy were immediately smitten with each other, but were too shy that day to exchange contact information. About three weeks later, on a beautiful summer evening, they saw each at the Georgetown waterfront. At that time, they were sure to exchange contact information and have been a couple ever since. They live in Arlington and are looking forward to their wedding on June 11, 2011 at Historic Hollin Hall.
