This weekend, I joined the ranks of Richmond wedding photographers and I loved it.
It was a scenic drive to Richmond from my home in Baltimore. A three hour stretch coming in and out of cities and farms. There was a long narrow road when my GPS let me know I had arrived. Timidly, I drove a half mile up a dirt road with cows on either side.
But at the end was a bit of a marvel. Katie and Billy had a circus tent set up for guests to nestle under as the sun began to sat. The place settings were peppered with ombre dipped invitations, dye dipped cloth napkins at the tables, and there was eucalyptus falling all over the tent in a rather glamorous way. When guests began to arrive in droves, a ceremony played out, in between a row of giant trees. There were flower crowns, reds and golds, and calligraphy stones as place settings. The DJ played vinyl the entire night and this is how it happened.
