Richmond Micro-Wedding Photographer – Old Originial Bookbinders – Samantha & Anthony – Married!

I’ve had the privilege to photograph several micro-weddings this year. This one was non-traditional and edgy and made my heart soar! Samantha & Anthony said their vows in front of family and their closest friends at The Original Bookbinders in Shockoe Bottom in Richmond, VA. Their halloween inspired details, her gorgeous non-traditional gown, their wedding rings, and their red, white and black color theme (in which even the guests participated)  broke the mold in so many ways. The focus of their celebration was the bond of their relationship. It was really inspiring! Most all the details were all DIY, so there are not many vendors to acknowledge for this one. Enjoy the images!
