What an amazing time we all had photographing what will hopefully be the cover of the next Central Virginia Bridal Guide!  Caitlin won the Bride of the Year at the luncheon earlier this year and was the perfect model for us!  She used her actual dress for her upcoming July wedding so we can’t show you any of her pictures but here are some detail images from the shoot styled by Sandra from RS Exclusives.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!! I get so excited every time I see these pictures and every time I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have received this incredible honor! Thank you so much to everyone at the Central Virginia Bridal Guide, RS Exclusive, Doyle’s Florist, The Gilded Thimble, Bodyworks Day Spa, and of course, Allegra, for this amazing opportunity!

  • It was just pure delight to do styling work with the wonderful Allegra and beautiful and fun filled Bride of the year, Caitlin!
    (and her sissy too) We had so much fun and worked like a smooth team together… when it goes so well and you have so much fun, it hardly feel like work! Thank you for having me on this team. It was an honor to be with you all!
