Richmond Wedding Photographer – St Peter’s Catholic Church Ceremony, Brownstone Reception – Paula & Andy – Married!

admin

The end of wedding season is always bittersweet – we love working with all our couples throughout year, but after a busy season, we all look forward to a little downtime. This year, we wrapped up our wedding season with Paula & Andy’s wedding celebration. Their classic wedding was a perfect end cap to an amazing 2017. The bride and groom prepared for their day at the beautiful and historic Linden Row Inn. There, they experienced a first look together, posed for some group photos, and hopped on the trolley to St. Peter Catholic Church. Officiated by a longtime family friend, the couple said their vows in the extraordinary church, built in 1834.

After the ceremony, Richmond Trolley transported guests and the bridal party to The Brownstone for the reception. The celebration continued as friends and family dined and danced the night away in the lovely downstairs ballroom of the Brownstone. Flowers Makes Scents created jewel toned centerpieces, which were combined on the tables with photos of the couple. Paula and Andy cut cake for the couple adorned with a perfectly customized cake topper, and guests enjoyed a variety of cupcakes from Kakealicious. They punctuated the evening with a sparkler exit, and the newlyweds walked together, hand in hand back to Linden Row Inn. Below is the list of contributing vendors, and some favorite photos from their day.
