Ambiance:
A quaint & cozy feel in an adorable row house in the heart of
Old Town Alexandria.
The house is bustling with excitement, laughter & nervous butterflies while
models are being primped and polished.
Camera crews, photographers & reporters all prepare for the spotlight.
The stage is set for the debut of Carine’s Bridal Atelier on Fox 5 News…

Lights, Camera, ACTION!!!
