James + Aimee
Two
months ago I met with Aimee and her mom in Starbucks. It was a casual meeting and we chatted about the big day. It was coming SOON!! VERY soon! I’ve had a few winter weddings that booked a little later than usual this year and to be honest, it was a lovely surprise. In the midst of my “downtime”, I had the chance to shoot again! We haven’t shot a wedding since January and so we were really excited about James and Aimee’s Masquerade themed wedding! I mean, how can you not be excited about a theme like that!? Her dress, her hair, her makeup… she was just stunning!! James and Aimee dated for 12 years prior to their wedding… yes, 12. I love this about them because I can relate. Michael and I dated for 8 years before we were married and I’ll never forget going out to brunch the day after our wedding and thinking “Wow, I get to call him my HUSBAND!”…. Finally!!!
I can only imagine how exciting this time must be for them! After 12 years, they are officially husband and wife and they had the most amazing celebration. James and Aimee were married at the Renaissance in downtown Richmond. I wouldn’t say it was the ideal day for portraits (since it was freezing!!) but they made it work! I’ve never shot portraits so fast in my LIFE! We had no other option, we couldn’t feel our fingers!! :) After their portraits and the ceremony, they celebrated with friends and family from all over the world! It was just beautiful!! I hope you enjoy these images and love them as much as I do! Aimee and James it was SUCH a pleasure working with you two!! We absolutely LOVED being a part of your big day!!! Enjoy!!
Love these next two that Michael took!
