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!
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.
7 months already! The months are rolling into a sweet blur of many exhausting nights with days full of baby giggles and cuddles. Our Emy girl is getting so big and I’m never ready when I look at the calendar and realize she’s turning another month older!
SIX MONTHS. Oh my sweet girl, where has the time gone? In a blur of a year, Emy’s somehow reached her half birthday and if I think about it too long, I may cry.
Six months of figuring out how to navigate the transition to two kids, breastfeeding, Emy’s quirks and personality with Luca’s wild toddler moments, plus wife life, house life, full time photographer life all in the midst of a pandemic. Phew! But through it all, my sweet Emy has been the biggest blessing and joy.
It say it every time but only because it’s the most true thing: Emy is the best thing about my 2020. Today is Election Day and in a year that has been full of challenges and plot twists and on this particular day that feels so anxious and breathtaking, I am that much more grateful for this beautiful little girl.
FOUR months! Just last week, a year ago, I found out I was pregnant with this little one. It came as a complete surprise but she is one of the best surprises ever. I can’t imagine life without our sweet Emy. The pregnancy absolutely dragged on and on but the past four months have absolutely flown by.
