Downtown Richmond | Andrew and Jess

It was a day that had been a long time coming for Andrew and Jess….they had been dating since high school and it was such a joy to get to see them finally say their vows and promise to spend the rest of their lives together in the beautiful Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Richmond. All of their friends and family were there to witness the occasion and it was a celebration that I’m sure none of them will ever forget! The ceremony was so sacred and beautiful and their whole wedding day was so special. It was definitely worth the wait! From the elegance of the century-old cathedral to the fun speak-easy themed reception, it was a dream.

Kim Moody Design and Amanda of Sweet Fix did an amazing job bringing the glamorous and fun speakeasy themed reception to life and I can’t wait for you to see these desserts! Jess and Andrew, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your wedding day. It was such an honor and I loved getting to be a part of it! Enjoy my favorites!

*A big thanks to my wonderful friend Ali of Alisandra Photography for being my second shooter!
