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!
Vicente and I started dating officially, in Japan. He and I both love traveling and seeing new places and experiences. We went to Washington DC together, we explored North Dakota, road tripped from North Dakota all the way home to our hometown in Virginia stopping in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. We went to New York City Spring 2017, and that was our last getaway together since I was at the time, just a couple months pregnant with Luca. So for my 25th birthday, Vicente told me that he was taking us to Mount Vernon for a few days. So we found a good weekend to go, booked the hotel, and off we went!
Engagement season is here and the weather is getting warmer (kinda sorta!) and so if you’re engaged already, you’re probably starting to think about whether you want to do an engagement session! There are so many reasons why having them done is so important and I’ll share just a few main reasons why!
You’re going to spend days, weeks, months and even over a year planning your dream wedding. But when it’s all over, what’s left? Your husband and your photos. You want to find a photographer to capture all that and more but where do you even start? Here’s some questions to keep in mind when you’re looking for your wedding photographer!
You’ve just said YES to forever with your best friend. CONGRATS! You’ve popped the bubbly, posted a ring selfie on Instagram and immediately started scrolling on Pinterest for wedding inspiration. But once the congrats have been said and you find yourself at your job staring at that gorgeous rock on your finger, all of a sudden it hits you: what do I do now?! I get it, I’ve planned a wedding and I’ve helped brides plan their weddings! Here are some key things to do after you get engaged!
You’ve dreamt about the moment you walk down the aisle to see your partner, what their reaction will be, how you will feel, all the excitement and emotions that come with it! But now, more and more couples are opting to go for a First Look before the ceremony! And now it’s all the internal debates on should you do one or no?
