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.
A giant cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Townsend! We absolutely loved spending the day with you guys!

MARK & AMY
Perfect cloud cover for an outdoor summer Richmond VA wedding, the sweetest golden retriever, a stunning invitation suite created/painted by the the bride’s mother, a personalized ceremony by the groom’s father, dozens of gorgeous floral arrangements, a fireworks show, ice cream truck, and the happiest laid back couple… this Willow Oaks Country Club wedding was full of all my favorite things to photograph 🙂 Congrats Amy and Mark!!!

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!

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!
