I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

MaryClaire & Julien | John Marshall Ballroom Wedding Richmond Virginia Wedding Photographer

MaryClaire & Julien are genuinely some of the nicest people I have ever met and being surrounded by them, their family and their friends, was an absolute highlight of this wedding season.  The day MaryClaire & Julien got married in Richmond Virginia, it was monsoon conditions.  The rain was coming down in sheets.  MaryClaire had all sorts of ideas to take the 24 people in her bridal party to the Capitol to do a ton of great photos and there was honestly just no way.  Not one time this day did MaryClaire let the weather bother her.  She smiled ear to ear all day and night.  And her Family and Friends did the same thing.  We heard some of the most heartfelt speeches ever (I literally bawled and I am pretty sure Devin did, too!)  MaryClaire’s Parents were so fun to watch all day.  They loved every second of this day and Julien’s Mom did the BEST Mother/Son dance I have ever seen.  This wedding was PERFECT in every way, full of so much love and laughs.  I loved working at the John Marshall Ballroom again and with Kate from Glint Events!  She is the BEST!  Thank you two for choosing me to witness this special day!  XOXO!
