How did you meet?

One of my best friends from growing up started dental school at MCV just about the same time I accepted a position in the Richmond area and relocated from Charlottesville. She and I went out to dinner one night in October of 2007 and afterwards she suggest we meet up with some of her classmates who were at a dental school social. That night changed our lives forever! Bo had just moved from Roanoke to start his first year of dental school. Our timing was perfect. We soon discovered we both were going through a rough time, each having lost a parent within months of meeting one another, and we immediately found comfort and compassion within one another. We knew pretty quickly that the love we shared was incredibly special, and that we were meant to be together.

What detail did you like best about your wedding day?

All day, I kept saying that at the Clifton, we had found a little piece of Heaven. It was just so picturesque and wonderful in every way. But, if I had to pick just one thing aside from the location, I’d have to say that the flowers were breathtakingly beautiful and truly set the scene that we had envisioned!

What was your favorite moment during your wedding day?

I think we both finally relaxed after saying “I Do” so being presented as a couple for the first time and walking back towards the Inn, arm in arm. You captured on film my “we did it” gesture and after that, we both had huge smiles on our faces that seemed to last all night!

Yay!

Yeah, I still bust out the old film cameras every once in a while!  Holgas rule!

What’s next on your calender as a couple?

The last several months have been such a whirlwind…Bo graduated from dental school and started a new job just a few weeks before we got married, so with that, board exams, the wedding, our honeymoon, his sisters wedding right when we got home…I think we are just really looking forward to having a normal schedule and  being home for the summer! We do have two weddings to look forward to at the end of the summer and I think we’re both excited to just be guests!!

Kate and Tony were married to the dramatic chorus of thunder boomers and lightning strikes in the background!  Luckily, the weather held off until we all made it inside!  One of the advantages of doing a First Look is that the weather was great for their photo session!

and may I just point out that Kate wandered all over the gorgeous grounds of the Clifton Inn in these AMAZING Alexander McQueen shoes?

Maggie and Brian were married today at Timberlake Baptist Church.  They made sure to schedule time for an amazing couples shoot – over two hours to play! Here are some immediate favorites:

just another sneak peek as our season is in full swing!

The grounds of Mayhurst are amazing!  Weather prevented us from really exploring all the corners but that’s ok – I think we got it just walking to the parking lot!

walk in the woods

It always cracks me up how many times brides forget their bouquets for the walk back up the aisle!  I guess they might be just a little excited?!

First dance – always a favorite for me.
