DANIEL & JENNA

Because it’s their 1 year anniversary and because I miss seeing their faces, I went back and relived this gorgeous wedding day today! Can’t say enough great things about these two and their wonderful family and friends. Jenna and Daniel, hope you had fun celebrating today- one year down and wishing you guys many many many more to come!

JON & MICHELLE

These two are completely adorable together and downtown Richmond has the coolest backdrops… so I have way too many favorites from this session!

BEN & ALLISON

I’m pretty sure that the most perfect summer night in Crozet, Virginia starts with wine at King Family Vineyards and ends with watching the sun set behind the mountains while your dogs jump in the lake. After taking a look at the next few photos, I think you’ll agree…

Sooo excited for Ben and Allison’s Highland wedding next June!

CHRIS & KELLY

I knew Chris and Kelly’s wedding would be fun from the first day we met. Everything they described was right up my alley- a laid back day at the Historic Mankin Mansion, a personalized outdoor ceremony, Moscow mules flowing like wine, and a packed dance floor. What I didn’t know, was that there would be the coolest celebrity EVER in attendance. And neither did Chris and Kelly- it was a pretty awesome surprise. You’ll have to scroll down to find out who, but if you’ve spent any time in Blacksburg, Virginia (GO HOKIES!), you won’t be disappointed. Chris and Kelly, thank you for trusting me and Travis to capture your day- it was a blast!

EVAN & JENNY

Happy one year anniversary to these two today! Evan and Jenny’s Trinity United Methodist Church and Boathouse at Rocketts Landing wedding was definitely one of my favorites from last year and you will know why as soon as you see the photos. There was so much heartfelt emotion that day- it was so wonderful to witness and fun for us to capture. I think we all deserve to be as happy as Evan and Jenny were on their wedding day.

Cheers to year 1- and Happy Birthday Jenny! Have fun reliving the day!

BEN & KRISTEN

Legend Brewing and Belle Isle… it doesn’t get much more Richmond than that! Ben and Kristen laughed their way through the entire evening and I loved every second of it. These are a few of my (many) favorites…

Can’t wait for their Branch Museum wedding in September!

BYRON & LAUREN

These two are celebrating their 1 year anniversary today so we’re flashing back to their gorgeous Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden wedding from last May! These two get serious style points- everything from Lauren’s chic lace and tulle dress, to Byron’s blue suit and subtle patterned shirt and socks, to the perfectly mismatched groomsmen and bridesmaids attire. Although none of this was a surprise because they’re both super creative and have amazing taste. Lauren and her entourage got ready at her parents house while Byron and his boys hung out at the Quirk Hotel. They both helped design the Quirk (him- architecture, her- interior design) so this was the perfect spot for them to start and end the day! Their ceremony and reception took place at Lewis Ginter at the Bloemendaal House, where the garden was perfectly in bloom. Their personalized vows set the tone for the evening and their reception style and laid back celebration afterwards was icing on the cake. The graphic designer in me fell in love with all of their printed materials- the invitations, guest welcome bags, menu cards, and especially their place cards- all of which were designed by Lauren and Byron. Everything about their day was thoughtful and reflective of who they are as a couple, which is exactly how it should be. So Happy Anniversary to Lauren and Byron! Hope you guys have had a great weekend celebrating!

RYAN & ASHLEY

Ryan and Ashley just celebrated their first wedding anniversary this weekend so I spent some time looking through their photos, remembering how gorgeous their day was! By looking at the images, you’d never know how unseasonably cold and crazzzzzy windy it was that day (there were even some snow flurries that morning), but these guys were rockstars and were on cloud nine, surrounded by their favorite people the entire day. This classic Richmond Virginia wedding began with some quality time getting ready in the Fan and Windsor Farms, followed by a trolley ride to their timeless St. James’s Episcopal Church ceremony, an elegant Country Club of Virginia reception, an awesome dance party, and a confetti exit…

Ryan and Ashley, hope you guys enjoy reliving the day! Happy Anniversary!

DREW & TORI

Tori and Drew are married!!! My sister, Tori, and brother-in-law, Drew recently moved down to the Florida Keys and thankfully rented a house with a spare bedroom- which is why I can’t stop booking trips down to visit them. So when they decided to get married Key West, I was just a little bit excited.

The entire weekend was perfect. Nearly all of their friends and family traveled from Virginia so they were able to introduce everyone to their new Florida Keys lifestyle. As usual, the weather was gorgeous and everyone was happy to take a break from winter. Tori and Drew were completely relaxed the entire weekend and so excited to spend some quality time with all of the people they don’t see quite as often anymore. We walked around the streets of Key West, drank margaritas by the pool, hung out at the beach, ate at some of their favorite restaurants, watched the sun set from a catamaran, danced our way down Duval street… and most importantly, witnessed two of my very favorite people vow to spend the rest of their lives together. Tori looked absolutely stunning and Drew was the happiest I’ve seen him. It was such an awesome weekend! Can we do it over again please?!

Coincidentally, Drew and Tori happen to know a really awesome wedding photographer who jumped at the chance (read: forced them to let me) to capture their wedding weekend. Below are a few images from the weekend… and by “a few”, I mean over a hundred. I had a really hard time narrowing down which photos to post here and went completely overboard. Don’t be surprised if you want to plan a vacation or move down to Key West immediately after viewing these photos- I’m already trying to figure out when I can get back down there!

THINGS I LEARNED WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING MY SISTER’S WEDDING:

1. Holding a camera in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other hand (while also being slightly sleep deprived and hungover) requires a lot of coordination

2. Key West is absolutely beautiful. Okay, fine- I already knew this. But seriously, I just can’t get enough of it’s perfect weather, laid back vibes, charming architecture, clear blue water, awesome food and drink scene, kitschy colorful decor, beautiful sunsets, and just overall happy energy

3. My husband is the hottest wedding officiant I’ve ever seen

4. It’s kinda hard to be a photographer and a wedding guest at the same time- I walked away from the weekend feeling like maybe I could have done a little more in each role! I made a point to just relax and not photograph the whole weekend like I normally would, but that also means that I wasn’t able to tell a complete story of the weekend- which other photographers know can drive you a little crazy. It’s impossible to do both successfully, but it was still so much fun. I looooved spending the entire day with them. And it was such a special experience photographing the wedding of two people I’m so close to. On the wedding day, after the ceremony, Tori made me put my camera down (although I did sneak a photos photos here and there). Because of that, I wasn’t able to get a ton of reception photos, but I was able to get a hangover the following day. Thanks Tor 🙂

5. This can’t be my last Key West wedding. Anyone know anyone getting married in the Keys this year or next year?! We need to talk!!!

JACK & AMANDA

In January, you never really know what kind of weather you’ll have in Virginia, but the stars aligned for Jack and Amanda… in between a rainy Friday and a snowy Sunday was the most beautiful crisp winter day in Charlottesville. Jack and Amanda’s heartfelt ceremony at UVA Chapel was topped by a rockin’ celebration at the beautiful Early Mountain Vineyards. An amazing team of vendors, led by Lindsay Kennedy of LK Events & Design created such a warm and memorable day- everything from the one of a kind invitations, to the gorgeous candlelit florals, to the shared family style entrees. Everything was thoughtful, cozy, welcoming, and personal to who they are as a couple… including a nod to their favorite pup Quinn (check out their cake below!), and a cameo by the groom and his band, Three Sheets to the Wind, who borrowed the mic at the end of the night to play a few of their favorite songs. Needless to say, it was the perfect start to our year…
