Alexandra Bryson and Mark Martinkov Marry in a Beautiful, Timeless Celebration

Georgetown’s very own Alexandra Bryson and Mark Martinkov were married on January 25, in an intimate ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C., surrounded by family and friends. The young couple, whose relationship began more than a decade ago as teenagers, exchanged vows under a chuppah canopied by two beautiful billowing trees.

The bride, an active leader in the space industry, is the daughter of Doug and Renee Bryson of Great Falls, Virginia. The groom, an investor in the defense sector and a board member of the Citizens Association of Georgetown, is the son of Alexander and Maria Martinkov of McLean, Virginia. Together they share a deep appreciation for innovation, exploration, and the impact of their respective pursuits on the world around them — values that have shaped their partnership.

Alexandra walked down the aisle in a bespoke Modern Trousseau gown, its delicate sleeves and sweeping train evoking a sense of elegant romance. Mark, who watched with an admiring smile as Alexandra walked down the aisle, wore an anemone boutonniere — a subtle tribute to the couple’s first date that tied past and present together on their wedding day.

With a choreographed first dance to “Skyfall” by Adele, a nod to their shared love of James Bond, the newlyweds set the tone for an evening of joy and celebration. Friends and family offered heartfelt toasts, reminiscing about the couple’s journey from high school sweethearts to husband and wife. Laughter and happy tears filled the room, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. An after-party carried on until the early morning, with guests dancing, laughing and cheering the newlyweds in a night that felt too joyous to end.

After their honeymoon in Venice, Milan and St. Moritz, the couple returned to their home in Georgetown, where they look forward to building their future together. With hearts full of gratitude, Mr. and Mrs. Martinkov look forward to a lifetime of adventure, guided by the same warmth and devotion that brought them together.
