A Sacred Heart Catholic Church Wedding | Richmond, VA

  • Mark + Emily

She was greeted by all of her brothers and dad the morning of the wedding. They all had a chance to see her first. Tears were held back and a few were shed. This is just one of the beautiful moments of Mark and Emily’s day. Their first look, their gorgeous ceremony location, the fall leaves in their portraits, Emily opening her gift from Mark and freaking out… There are so many moments that stick out to me. This is our second to last wedding of the season and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint in the slightest! Now I knew that Emily was going to be a gorgeous bride, but I was just in awe of her beauty throughout the day. Mark and Em are such a beautiful, joyful and spirited couple! You’ll be able to see this through their images! I can’t wait for you to view them!!

A Fall Anniversary Shoot | Richmond Virginia

  • Ryan + Jaime | Married

I have great ideas… and then sometimes I have ideas that seem great but definitely don’t go quite as I had planned. “Coaching Huddles” were a great example of one my ideas that didn’t go as planned. The amazing thing is that my ideas that don’t go as planned always turn out to be exactly what they were supposed to be! I launched a coaching huddle in LA and one person signed up. ONE. But guess what! That one person has become a sweet friend of mine and I’m so thankful that our “huddle” didn’t turn out to be what we thought it would be. Jaime and I hit it off from the beginning and I just love her!!!
