JESSE & BRIANNA

Virginia is for lovers… lovers of basketball, epic dance parties, and this awesome couple. Jesse and Brianna met while working for the VCU athletic department, and although their jobs have taken them all over the country, they returned to Richmond, where it all began, to get married. I could probably create an entire blog post of just their dance floor, but the rest of the day was too beautiful not to share!

TOM & HEIDI

From Heidi’s gorgeous custom made marigold dress, to the appearance of the one and only Gelati Celesti ice cream truck (Tom’s family’s business), to the South African floral inspiration (a nod to Heidi’s childhood upbringing), to the amazing paper flower wall at their reception (created by Tom’s mother)… Tom and Heidi’s wedding day was anything but ordinary, and was visually STUNNING! Proof below in case you’re not convinced…

BEN & ALLISON

It’s not every day that you find the person you want to spend your life with in high school, but these two are so obviously perfect for each other. Allison and Ben’s wedding day included two of the best pups, Charlottesville mountain views, classic stylish details, one of my favorite families, and lots of longtime friends who have become their family. A little glimpse into this beautiful day below…

LEE & MONICA

Lee and Monica’s Richmond wedding took place at two of downtown’s most iconic locations- the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and the Omni Hotel– but this wedding was anything but the norm! Along with Mirna of Brousseau Events, they planned basically the perfect day- a blending of traditions from different cultures, classic style, and all of their RVA faves.

Up until the day of their wedding, they were predicting storms, so we were prepared with umbrellas… but luckily the only rain we saw came during the ceremony where everyone was dry and comfortable in the stunning Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. After a few portraits, we hopped on the trolley for a mini tour of Richmond, stopped by Charm School for some photos in front one of the best Richmond murals, and then headed to Libby Hill Park where Monica got the BEST surprise from Lee- an appearance from their best friend, Cash.

After a photo break with King of Pops, we were dropped off at the Omni, where the reception space was beautifully decorated and where their friends and family were waiting to celebrate… also where Erick of My Fellow DJ (a club DJ turned wedding DJ) won us over with the Wu Tang instrumental that kicked off dinner. The rest of the night was a mixture of sentimental toasts, traditional dancing, slow motion photo booth modeling (check that out here!), and an all out dance party.

Lee and Monica, thanks for having us along for the ride- we loved capturing your day!
