Michelle is best friends with one of my good friends here in Richmond and that’s how I came to do a wedding on a boat, in Philly, as I do most weddings in VA.  Love to travel though!  They were married on the historic Moshulu Boat, right in front of an awesome giant wooden wheel.  She seriously had the most gorgeous dress!  Donovan comes from a family of musicians, and is a musician himself.  During the reception both his parents joined him as they played for everyone, and then Donovan serenaded Michelle with a song he wrote just for her.  How romantic! Check it out.

Erica and Tom had a unique Richmond wedding, with both their ceremony and reception in historic Manchester at Crittenden Studios.  It had a rustic and industrial feel that I had a lot of fun with, especially the winding metal staircase in the middle of the “corrugated box”.  Anyways, they were a lot of fun, check it out.

It was a hot but beautiful day in May for the wedding of Babs and Paul.  The ceremony and reception both took place at the nature center in Maymont.

I love how the bubble exit came out, sorry if there are so many posted below, but I heart them.  Enjoy!

I’ve always wanted to do a wedding at Main Street Station.  It’s such a beautiful old building with so much character.  Beth and Dmitri had both their reception and ceremony there.  I loved the way all the chairs where arranged to include all of the wedding party, and it looked so elegant.  With the high ceilings I had to get creative with the light, but really liked how dramatic some of the images came out.

I drove down to the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, such an adorable little inn, down to all the little details…loved the farm tables in the suite.  Anyways, I photographed the private marriage ceremony of Sean and Aisling.  It was simple and sweet.

April flowers bring spring weddings, ’tis the first wedding of the season for me.  We couldn’t have had better weather for it.  Meagan and Brian were so fun to work with, and the day just flew by.  Back when they booked me for their April wedding we realized that we used to hang out with mutual friends, back in my college days.  No, I’m really not that old, but college does feel long ago.  It’s always fun to go to weddings I’m photographing and see old friends.  They made the day that much more fun.  They were married at the Botanical Gardens here in Richmond in the Japanese garden and House.
