One of the first things Emily said to me about Jake was that he made her laugh like no one else could and that was evident from the day we first met in person at their engagement session to the day of their Lake Anna wedding. Like so many of my couples and couples in […]

Allison and Wes’ spring wedding at Walkerton Tavern may have been drizzly, but it was beautiful. The tavern itself is a great space. Built in 1825, it’s currently part of the Cultural Arts Center of Glen Allen and features the large home as well as a number of outbuildings and a gazebo that is perfect […]

I love when the dance floor stays busy and Layne and Saul’s Arbor Haven wedding was no exception. These two, their friends and their families can dance. Layne and Saul are high school sweethearts. Saul’s best man highlighted their long relationship in his speech, noting how Saul first said he liked Layne back before they […]

Selena and Opey had a beautiful Alturia Farm wedding in November. The weather was perfect even if a little warm for the month and Selena picked a perfect blend of reds, burgundies and blushes to compliment the day. It was truly a day of love and laughter with their friends and family members. Selena is […]

Elizabeth and Conner were married on a perfect October day at the Octagonal Barn at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton. Fun little fact about the barn itself, it was built in 1905 and as of 1993, was one of only two such barns in the state. Beside the shape, it’s also unique in that […]

With only about two weeks to go until their big day, I received a message that Rebecca and Joseph were seeking a photographer to capture their Arbor Haven wedding. “Yes, absolutely, let’s figure it out.” I’m a make it work girl (I see you Tim Gunn) and if I can make it work, I’ll do […]

Laura and Kyle may have had to wait a few extra months for their Lake Anna wedding, but it was so worth it. They were originally supposed to get married in April, but thanks to COVID-19, they moved their wedding to mid-September. That’s something that many 2020 brides, and wedding vendors, unfortunately have experience with. […]

You have your date, your colors and your overall theme—now it’s time to create your wedding invitations. I’ll be honest, I was a DIY print at home girl. I purchased blank invitations featuring a pretty letterpress purple orchid from Target (they’ve since gotten out of the wedding invitation game). I also purchased the coordinating RSVP […]

The current COVID-19 pandemic may have halted some large scale celebrations, but it hasn’t cancelled love as evidenced by Rachel and John’s backyard Richmond elopement. July 25 was chosen for their wedding date because it was the closest Saturday to their dating anniversary, so when regulations began changing regarding events, they chose to have a […]

A helicopter, a stick tepee and boho bridal inspiration? Sign me up y’all! Nearly four years ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a styled wedding shoot at Snead’s Asparagus Farm in Fredericksburg. The shoot was based around a fiesta-style theme with a taco bar, margaritas, pinatas, bright colors and tons of fun Spanish-themed […]
