Remy Photos engagement session in Richmond, VA.
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Wedding | Kim + Brendan
Kim and Brendan’s VMFA wedding was one for the books. Kim dreamed up the most classy, chic, fun, and colorful wedding day with so many amazing vendors! She packed in 3 dress changes, 3 venues, and 1 visit from her fur baby – also named Remy – all before their getaway in an antique Bentley.
In true Richmond fashion, they took the RVA Trolley from their ceremony at Pro-Cathedral of St. Peter to the reception at VMFA. Once inside, guests could get a caricature of themselves or watch as a live painter painted a scene from the church!
These two dated for 12 years before Brendan proposed. Then, they had to reschedule their big day due to COVID. Their faces walking down the aisle showed how long awaited this day had been, and how happy they were that it was finally here! Congratulations, friends!

Independence Golf Club Wedding | Maureen + Nick
Maureen and Nick had the most gorgeous wedding at the Independence Golf Club. It was classic, chic, and so much fun! We kicked off the day with the absolute best first look. Nick had one of the cutest reactions I’ve ever seen from a groom. He could not get over how stunning his bride looked! They shared a couple’s tequila shot before boarding the bus to their ceremony at the Church of the Epiphany. After the ceremony, we took golf carts out for fun bridal party shots. In true Remy Photos fashion, they went for the big champagne pop! We lucked out with a beautiful sunset and Maureen’s grandmother’s fur coat was the perfect touch for the end of those portraits. After their party came to an end, Maureen & Nick shared a private last dance that literally brought me to tears. They have one of the most precious relationships I’ve ever witnessed and I’m so grateful I was able to capture this special day for them.

The Boathouse at Sunday Park Wedding | Anne Clarke + Alden
Anne Clark and Alden aren’t just some of my sweet friends, but they are also my next-door neighbors. It felt like such an honor that they asked me to photograph their wedding day! The hydrangea-themed celebration at The Boathouse at Sunday Park was full of summery, colorful, floral beauty! From the cool-toned, colorful bridesmaid dresses to the Gelati Celesti ice cream truck, all the way to the exciting bubble grand exit- it was the perfect day!

Creek’s Edge Winery Wedding | Christy + Chad
Christy and Chad celebrated their wedding day at the beautiful Creek’s Edge Winery in Lovettsville, Virginia! I LOVED photographing a new venue with luscious vineyards, beautiful stone archways, and those pretty barn doors. This wedding basically included all the best things- a great party, pink, a pearl veil, and a popcorn machine (their FAVORITE snack)!

Hazy Mountain Wedding | Mireille + Elliott
Mireille and Elliott had the most romantic Spanish-inspired wedding in Charlottesville, Virginia! Bold pink florals (and shoes!) perfectly complemented the Blue Ridge mountain views at Hazy Mountain Vineyards & Brewery.
Their beautiful day started with a ceremony at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. They included such thoughtful details, like incorporating Mireille’s parents’ wedding lasso – a Hispanic tradition and symbol of unity. It was a really special moment, followed by an exciting exit to their reception with blue & white ribbon streamers!
The celebrations continued at Hazy Mountain – the perfect venue for their theme. Blue tile table numbers and tequila bottles were the ultimate nods to their heritage, and to Mireille’s tequila business. I just loved this unique theme and LOVE their love!

John Marshall Ballrooms Wedding | Katie + PJ
Katie and PJ are married…. AGAIN! A year after their intimate ceremony at Barns of Kanak, Katie and PJ finally got their big celebration at John Marshall Ballrooms.
The all-indoor ceremony and reception in the heart of downtown Richmond was nothing short of elegant! Sparkling vintage chandeliers and grand windows in the Marshall Ballroom made the ceremony light and bright. We moved into the ballroom for the reception, where large LOVE marquee letters and string lights added extra glow and fun for dinner, drinks and dancing!

King Family Vineyards Wedding | Sara + Vignesh
Sara and Vignesh’s big day was one of the most unforgettable weddings of my career! They honored both of their cultures with double the ceremonies and double the fun!
Sara and Vignesh first met at work. They kept it platonic and professional, but when Vignesh broke the news that he was transferring to New York City, Sara was heartbroken. She visited him shortly after his move and had the best weekend of her life. They ate, drank, and packed everything they could into that long weekend. The rest was history – they’d see each other every two weeks, exploring all the cities Vignesh would move to during his two-year work rotation. They eventually settled down together in Richmond, and he proposed on their getaway trip to Asheville, NC!
We celebrated Sara and Vignesh at King Family Vineyards with back-to-back Hindu and Western ceremonies! One of the coolest parts of my job is getting to witness wedding traditions from other cultures. I was so grateful to be part of such a beautiful experience, especially for two incredibly kind, wonderful people like Sara and Vignesh!
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Narayanaswamy! May your future be as full of love and blessings as your wedding day was!
