Richmond Wedding Photographer – Virginia Crossings – Jessica & Connor – Married!

I had the hardest time narrowing down images for Jessica and Connor’s blog post… Even though Jessica and Connor aren’t big on having their picture taken, there were so many images I loved from their wedding day. Her bridesmaids dresses in fuchsia and tealness set the tone for lots of bright accents throughout the day. The lighting during the ceremony was perfect and we took a ridiculous amount of really good photos during their outdoor ceremony in the courtyard at Virginia Crossings. Their ballroom reception brought together family members from all over who hadn’t seen each other in years and allowed for a lot of catching up and reminiscing. Several Jewish traditions were observed throughout the day including the breaking of the glass to punctuate the end of the ceremony and dancing the Hora during the reception. I really loved Jessica’s bouquet from Flowers by Zoie, wrapped with one of her dad’s handkerchiefs, in his memory. Check the list of contributing vendors and photos below:
