In March this year, the wedding industry knew the 2020 season would look different. We went from venues to backyards, hugs to masks, catering to home cooked meals, directing people closer together [“smush” is my typical instruction] to asking people if they wanted socially distanced family formals. But with all of these changes, one thing […]

This is the story of a sweet northern girl who fell in love with a southern boy. These two got married at their church in Richmond with so many of their friends and family. During their engagement session, we talked about how they both loved Charleston, and so I knew we had to take portraits […]

These two are in Maui RIGHT NOW [and I’m so jealous!], but I’m excited to be here blogging and sharing this sunshine filled day with you! One day after Dorian dropped some rain on Virginia, Lauren and Colin celebrated with their friends and family and it was just the best day. The day started with […]

Every year, I have weddings that fill my heart with propelling joy. They make me say, “YES! This is why I do this!” and give me such good energy that lasts all season. And Andy and Kelsey’s Richmond, VA wedding at the Armour House was one of them. When they told me they were keeping […]

Morgan and Andrew are married! They said their vows at Morgan’s home church in Richmond, VA, and her incredible team of vendors transformed the youth center into a beautiful modern ceremony and reception venue for the evening. What an awesome day it was getting to see these two join their lives together! Morgan and Andrew are two […]

Weddings in Richmond, VA are some of my favorites! Not only because I get to visit friends, but because it’s close to our new home, too! Austin and Emma got married on the hottest weekend of the year, but I don’t think it mattered to these two. In fact it may have been reminiscent of the first […]

Last fall, Taylor of Alyson Taylor Events invited me along for a tour of one our favorite Richmond wedding venues! How lovely is this location? With the ability to dress it up or keep the space as is, this venue boasts rich history with modern appeal. I would love to have any type of event in […]

As Danni knelt down in a quiet corner and carefully wrapped a hand knit blanket with ribbons for her groom, I thought that this must be how she planned her wedding. Everything with such care and attention wrapped in a garnet details. These two planned their wedding from PA, each following their passion to become […]

Lindsay and James got married in Richmond at the Bolling Haxall House in downtown Richmond a couple of weeks ago. Their’s was so special to me because I rarely get to photograph weddings in my own city, and it’s something that I LOVE. After their engagement session, I knew this wedding would be so much fun! […]
