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!!
Their smiles couldn’t have been bigger and their excitement couldn’t have been more evident. Emily was so relaxed and stress free as a bride. It made the day so enjoyable and successful!! These two have SO many beautiful fall portraits of the two of them!!
As we walked around Monroe park and the Church Hill area in Richmond, I couldn’t help but watch them interact and think about how perfect they are for one another. Mark is so genuine and down to earth and Emily is energetic, vibrant and so lovable! I was convinced that we were almost the same person when she almost cried as she opened her gift from Mark! He surprised her with the 35mm 1.4 lens and she was in HEAVEN! I would have been in heaven too!! How fun is that?! Mark, you’re an incredible gift-giver!!!
Emily is an amazing portrait photographer and I’m beyond honored that she chose US to photograph her day. She could have chosen ANY of her photographer friends and somehow we made the cut! She spoiled us and all of her other amazing vendors so much. What a dream bride! Sometimes I don’t understand how we’re so blessed with such amazing couples. We’re so thankful!!!
Enjoy this gorgeous Richmond wedding! It may very well be a new favorite for you! LOVED working with Dear Sweetheart Events, Richard Green Entertainment and Amanda Veronee, what a “dream team”!!! Enjoy!!!!!
It’s hard to believe I’m writing this… my fourth birth story in four years. I’ve given birth in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Just typing that makes me tired….. and so grateful…. unbelievably grateful. These last four years have been the best and hardest of my life. We cherish being parents and welcoming a new baby is hands down the most incredible thing we have ever experienced in our 18 years together. I’m so excited to introduce you to our newest member of our family and tell you the story of how he came into this world!
Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!
This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!
