Congratulations you two! What a gorgeous day in September for an outdoor event! And what an amazing place to have it! The Lewis Ginter Gardens in Richmond are just stunning every time I go!

I love how less than 20 minutes later, the light had changed so drastically!

the official dances are always a favorite for me!

and for those rare clients that do the bouquet/garter tradition, it can be a source of some amusing images!

Its nice when the bride and groom get to take a short break sometime during the course of events. Ask your coordinator to run interference for you for a few minutes just so you get a chance to catch your breathe (and eat some of that good food!)

I love happy endings!
