2019 WEDDING FAVORITES

We worked with some pretty amazing couples in 2019! Here are a few of our favorite moments…

DAVID & LAUREN

A little sneak peek from David and Lauren’s wedding day at Burlington Plantation! This is such a beautiful property and we had the most amazingly perfect weather… and really, this crew was just so. much. fun. Narrowing down which photos to post here took some serious effort.

2018 WEDDING FAVORITES

We captured lots of unforgettable moments in 2018… big ones, little ones, romantic ones, serious ones, funny ones, and lots of in between moments when no one realized we were watching. It’s basically impossible to narrow it down to a small set of favorites, but below are a few of mine! And if I had to do it over again tomorrow, I might choose completely different images. But today I was focused on the moments… with a few pretty scenes and timeless portraits mixed in there. Which is pretty appropriate since that’s exactly how I’d describe my style of photography 🙂

 

Thank you to all of these awesome couples and their friends/families for trusting us with capturing these memories for them!

BLAINE & SARAH

Blaine and Sarah’s wedding day was our last wedding of 2018! Technically, their wedding day is September 15th- the day they were originally planning to get married at Tredegar Iron Works. But Hurricane Florence rolled through Richmond that week and forced them to rethink their plans. Instead of asking so many of their out of town guests to travel in the terrible weather, they decided to postpone their celebration and just have a small ceremony that day. But two months later, a change in venue, and lots of replanning by Jennings Whiteway and her amazing team at Belles & Whistles, they finally got to have the celebration they always wanted… below are a few of our favorites from the day!

ALEX & BRIELLE

On their 1st Anniversary, a look back on Alex and Brielle’s stunningly beautiful wedding day!

What can I say about this day that Brielle’s Mom, Marie (Owner/Designer at Headpiece.com), hasn’t already expressed in her monthly blog series, other than, it was such an honor to work with all of these amazing people. They really poured their hearts into creating a elegant and timeless celebration, with some of the most unique and creative details that perfectly reflected Brielle and Alex’s personalities. The photos below will give you a little glimpse into their day, but you should definitely head over to Marie’s blog for lots more photos and the story behind the celebration (see links to these below!).

Brielle & Alex, Happy One Year Anniversary! Thank you so much for choosing us to be a part of your day!

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!
