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

Josh and Rachel are one of those couples that everyone loves…they have a certain way about them that makes them so fun to be around because they are not afraid to have fun and never seem to take themselves too seriously….and I knew shooting their wedding was going to be a lot of fun! Especially because on top of having the best, easy going personalities, they are also an absolutely gorgeous couple! A few things small things didn’t go as planned on their wedding day (which happens on MOST weddings days I would argue…), but you would never know it because Rachel was just so thrilled to be marrying

I walked into Lisa’s hotel room the afternoon of her wedding and immediately felt like I was a friend who was just there to join in the celebration…This couple has the sweetest, most welcoming friends and family and I was so excited to get to meet them and spend time with them throughout the day! It’s no wonder that they have such good friends because they are an amazing couple and are truly some of the most genuine people I have ever met. Their love for each other and their friends was so evident throughout the course of their laid-back wedding day on the water…I’ve been looking forward to their

I first met these two back in March on a cold rainy/snowy day which resulted in one of my favorite engagement sessions to date! Well, the weather on their wedding day was the exact opposite but it was just as beautiful…It was sunny and hot, and somehow everyone managed to look perfect all day!

The whole wedding day was so full of love…their friends and family traveled from great distances to be a part of their special day and it was so evident that everyone was excited that they were finally getting married!…Doug is a fun loving guy
