Kelsey & Nicholas | John Marshall Ballroom Wedding Richmond Virginia Wedding Photographer

Kelsey and Nicholas’ John Marshall Ballroom wedding in Richmond Virginia is the stuff dreams are made of.  All day long we all kept remarking at how classic and beautiful Kelsey’s vision for her wedding was.  It was like something out of a 1920’s movie!  She looked absolutely stunning in her Blue Willow gown from Anne Barge with Lace Topper from Amy Kuschel!  And Nicholas was so handsome in his classic tux from The Black Tux.  I love that they decided to share a quiet moment alone (called a First Look!)  Nicholas was a little hesitant to break with tradition on this, but I think once he was alone with his Bride for a few moments, he was so happy they decided to do it!  It was very emotional for them both (me included!!) and one of my favorite moments of the day!  I also loved their FUN reception!!  Everyone had a blast dancing in the ballroom and Nicholas and his friends were happy to show everyone how they do it in Oklahoma!  The two step looked like a blast!  It was just the perfect way to kick off the 2017 wedding season and Jay, Devin and I were so honored to be a part of it!  Thank you so much for choosing us!!  XOXO!
