In the heart of bustling city life, amidst the rhythm of urban energy, there lies a timeless allure—an allure reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. It’s a world where elegance meets extravagance, where sophistication intertwines with chic, and where every moment feels like a scene from a classic movie. While planning and designing this shoot with our talented photographer friend, Angelika Johns, we got to step into this world of allure and capture its essence at the iconic Hotel Washington.

The theme was set—Hollywood Glam. The setting at Hotel Washington provided the perfect backdrop for our glamorous affair. Every corner exuded opulence, from the grand chandeliers to the ornate furnishings. It was as if the hotel itself was a character in our story, adding an extra layer of allure to the shoot. It was nothing short of a cinematic experience, where every detail was meticulously curated to evoke the spirit of vintage glamour.
