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!
Karlie and Tanner met me at Byrd Park in Richmond on Sunday for their engagement session and I couldn’t have asked for a prettier Sunday for their session! It’s mid-September which is giving me and Karlie all the fall feels but it’s Virginia and we got 85 degree weather with humidity but we noticed a few trees were giving us some beautiful fall colors and I had to incorporate that!
When Cameron suggested Belle Isle for her engagement session, I was so excited and I prayed that the rain would hold off and the river wouldn’t flood and when the day came… it was PERFECT! I met Cameron and Bryce there and there was the softest sunset glow setting over the James River, their adorable 5 year old son was running around getting all his energy out and these two looked absolutely incredible as they hung out on the rocks- Cameron doing it in wedges like an absolute pro! And I’m so excited to share some highlights from their session!
Springtime in Virginia is so wild. Rain, sunshine, gusting winds and humidity. Being a Richmond wedding and engagement photographer means watching the weather and being reaaaallly flexible with plans. I met with Taylor and Cameron at Brown’s Island and we were rewarded for our flexibility with rescheduling and moving locations with the most gorgeous session at Brown’s and down at the Canal Walk! The wind was blowing Taylor’s peach floral dress just perfectly (I died and went to heaven like 10 times during this session) and of course, they were the cutest couple ever so it was the best time!
When Jennifer asked if she could have her Frenchie pup in her engagement portraits, I said YES! I absolutely love dogs and I was excited to have this sweet couple and their adorable pup in front of my camera! Their portraits were at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and it literally was perfect. Golden hour, perfect weather, and the VMFA was having a special exhibition “Fine Art and Flowers“ which was GORGEOUS. So as a result, I have wayyyy too many favorites and I’m so excited to share them now!
