VIRGINIA BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY
Here’s my favorite wedding venues in Virginia for the most incredible portraits, coming from a Richmond VA wedding photographer who knows that not only should your venue be a spectacular place for hosting a wedding but should also have equally spectacular features for your wedding day photography.
It was an incredible day filled to the brim with stunning details. Luisa & Matt decided on March 19 for their wedding date and we were blessed with one of the most beautiful Virginia spring days I’ve ever seen for a wedding. Luisa’s eye for a classy and modern wedding came to life and I was blown away by the details and how her vision came together for their VMFA wedding in Richmond, Virginia.
They waited 441 days for this day. It was so evident on their wedding day just how loved they are by the people who know them and knowing them, you just can’t help it. I loved every minute of working with these two and it never even felt like work because it was just so much fun! It was truly my honor being their photographer and friend. Enjoy scrolling through my favorites from this gorgeous whimsical and colorful summer Old Silk Mill wedding!
Last Friday I got to meet Matt & Luisa at Libby Hill Park in Richmond VA for their engagement session and I have to say it was definitely one of the most fun engagement sessions I’ve ever done! The weather was perfect and it was a sunny day which made for gorgeous golden hour portraits! Luisa and Matt were so fun to talk with and getting to hear more about them and their sweet pets! Especially since their 5 month old puppy, Max, joined us for photos and I was over the moon!
I look at her and I’m surprised at how big she’s getting already. Sweet chunky thighs, a round belly and the squishiest chubby cheeks! My camera roll has so many of her dimpled smiles and grins. Emy is just such a happy baby girl and I can’t believe she’ll be one soon.
Here we are again, another month in the books and I cannot believe it’s already March.
Not going to lie, I’m still processing last March! It was the last couple weeks before life changed pretty drastically and honestly sometimes I sit down and I really cannot believe that we’re living in the middle of a pandemic, mask wearing is a new normal, social distancing is a thing, I really was pregnant and had a baby during a pandemic.
Like, WHAT?
But phew I’m glad that at least the pregnancy is behind me. Emy is so much more fun on the outside of me versus the inside but this little girl has thrown me for a loop this month!
Im still amazed this sweet girl is mine. She’s really such a joy and she’s my best little friend. I can’t wait for all the fun well have when she’s older but I’m enjoying kissing on those adorable chunky cheeks, hearing her laugh squeals and all the baby moments I know I’ll miss when she’s older.
I was giddy with excitement as I very carefully drove to the Capitol and met Jad and Julia there. I’ve been a photographer for years and never once had the opportunity to do a snowy engagement session and I was BLOWN AWAY by the magic. Jad and Julia were excited and prepped with all the accessories: umbrellas, knit blanket, couple hats and layered outfits. It was such a dream getting to laugh and be amazed by the snowy weather with these two lovebirds and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect session!
This year’s blog posts looks a little different than 2019’s Behind the Scenes post. I never imagined getting into my car, ready to leave and confident that I have everything I need for a wedding day then running back inside to grab a mask.
What a wild wild ride 2020 was. Pumping during weddings, wearing a mask, packing myself lunch to make sure I knew how my food was handled just in case I felt uncomfortable, helping brides plan safe weddings through a pandemic. Still, I had an amazing time and though sometimes you couldn’t tell behind my mask, I was laughing and smiling through the day. Enjoy some peeks at behind the scenes during 2020!
