John Marshall Ballrooms Wedding || Jack & Jodee's Richmond, VA Wedding

What a BEAUTIFUL wedding to start out my 2019 wedding season! Jack & Jodee got married at The Historic John Marshall Ballrooms in Richmond, Virginia and the day could not have gone better! Jodee’s getting ready room was so laid back, as her friends gathered around her to celebrate the big day with their glitter-filled champagne toasts and laughter.

Jack & Jodee had a beautiful first look moment and then got ALL of their portraits done before the ceremony! Event the family portraits and they joined their guests for their pre-ceremony cocktail hour! I loved that they decided to do this- it made their reception time so special as they were able to visit with each of their guests, and have lots of time for the dance floor!

Jack & Jodee- thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your big day! It was such an honor to celebrate with you both! What a STUNNING day it was!!!

Thank you to the AMAZING team of vendors that made this day so perfect!

Bedford Engagement Session || Ryan & Andrea

I looooove when a couple decides to do their engagement photos at a location that is super special to them! Ryan & Andrea chose to do their session at a family's property in Bedford, Virginia! And ohhh my goodness- this location was so dreamy!! A gorgeous farmhouse, some rustic barns, views of the peaks and a gorgeous pond setting for sunset! IT really was the perfect location for their engagement session!!

Andrew & Allison's Wedding Day: Bedford, VA Wedding Photographer

Remember that adorable proposal I was photographed?! Well, if you thought that moment was sweet- wait until you see their wedding!! 

Andrew & Allison started off the day getting ready at her parents house surrounded by friends and family. They had THE most precious no peek, and when Andrew started praying for them and their marriage, we were all 3 in tears! They choose the most adorable little church that had such an intimate feeling- it was awesome! Their reception was at The Historic Avenel Plantation in Bedford! It truly was such a romantic spot! 

You can tell that Andrew & Allison truly have something special. She was beaming all day, and he kept reaching over and kissing her on the forehead. I am so excited for them as they begin this journey in life together!!
