Hollyfield Manor Wedding | Richmond Wedding Photographer | Jeremy + Meghan

Perfect. It's rare to use that word to describe a wedding day, with so many things that could go wrong, run behind, or become stressful, but it's exactly how I think of Jeremy and Meghan's wedding. Both of them were filled with nervous excitement in the hours before they said I do, but they could not have walked into the day with more confidence in the person they chose who would soon be standing in front of them. The weather was gorgeous, the enormous bridal party was loads of fun, and even the adorable ring bearer cooperated as he was rolled down the aisle in a cart. The hours of planning and dozens of spreadsheets that they 'nerded out' over all paid of, and from start to finish their wedding was perfection.

There are always elements of a wedding day that I fall in love with and in this case, it was a four- way tie: Hollyfield Manor was stunning, from the bridal suite to the reception space, Meghan's dress was a soft, summery gown that looked as glamorous as she did, the bouquet was an amazing creation of blush peonies, roses, and pops of white...but most of all, Jeremy and Meghan's relationship is what shone through. They both love to be organized. They were both have hearts of gold, as evidenced in the speeches that highlighted their best qualities. They both fell in love with each other the day they met and spent 7 solid hours together. Together, they are perfect...

Cedar Point Country Club Wedding | Suffolk Wedding Photographer | Charles + Jessi

To know Jessi well, seeing her interact with her students is a must. She is the kind of teacher whose kids crowd around her, the kind of person who stops to hug them as she walks down the aisle during her own wedding, and the kind of person who everyone loves to be around. Charles has the exact same gift with the people who surround him, and together their personalities are simply magnetic. Both are completely in love with each other and, most of all, excited to serve the Lord together as they become husband and wife.

For a gorgeous summery day in July Jessi chose teal accents to highlight her unique and fun demeanor. The ladies dressed in the same color as they surrounded Jessi, each one honored to stand by her side as she married the man of her dreams. Her gorgeous bouquet was filled with pink and white roses, set against her dress' lacy overlay, making a beautiful combination for an absolutely stunning bride. On top of that, when Charles and Jessi kissed at the altar it was the first one they shared - EVER! Waiting for that moment made the day and the entire wedding absolutely unforgettable...

Cypress Point Country Club Wedding | Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer | Trey + Ashley

Ashley is not someone who likes to be the center of attention. She is the cheerleader and encourager to her friends and family alike, but rarely steps into the spotlight. This was evident on her wedding day as she carefully steamed her friend's dresses, putting thought and care into everyone else though it was her big day. Trey, meanwhile, is a friend to all, kind and so much fun to be around. Together they quietly become the life of the party, and when they're with each other it seems just right on them.

There was so much anticipation in the morning as Ashley and her ladies got ready. Layers upon layers of fabric adorned her amazing wedding gown, and the light lavender bridesmaid's dresses were gorgeous against the greenery at Cedar Point Country Club. Green, lavender, and white bouquets in the hands of each bridesmaid finished the look perfectly. The inside of the reception hall, decorated with sweet pearls and floral centerpieces, was just waiting for a party that centered around two people in love...
