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!

Xo, Remy

The Boathouse At Sunday Park Wedding | Haley + Evan

I ask all my couples to fill out a questionnaire during their wedding planning process and one of my questions asks them to tell me more about their love story. This is one of my favorite stories that Haley told me… “Evan and I met in Kindergarten! We were in the same class and our Kindergarten teacher is actually going to officiate our wedding! I had a crush on him in Kindergarten, but he thought girls had cooties, so apparently my feelings were unrequited. We had crushes on each other off and on growing up (we “dated” a few summers in middle school), and after my family moved we stayed in touch by attending the same community pool each summer. We had our first jobs as lifeguards together there in summers during high school, and after a few years of the timing being wrong, we officially started dating junior year of high school. About 6 years later, after we both graduated from UVA and had been working in different cities for a year, we moved in together and adopted a dog, who we named Cora after the pool we went to growing up. After over 7 years of dating, we went hiking to a waterfall in upstate New York, and Evan proposed to me there by the edge of the water with only our sweet dog as a witness…it was beautiful. So depending on how you look at it, we are college, high school, and kindergarten sweethearts.”

How amazing is that!? I rarely get to photograph high school sweethearts, but these two are basically Kindergarten sweethearts!! Haley and Evan are so in love it makes me tear up just looking back through their wedding gallery. They are the kindest people with the sweetest families and they are truly so special. This wedding was one of my absolute favorites from beginning to end! Not only is The Boat House at Sunday Park one of my favorite venues, but because the couple made it 1000 times better than I could ever imagine. I’m so thankful they hired me and that I could be a part of their big day.  I’ll also be photographing Haley’s sister’s wedding this winter and I’m so excited to party with them all over again! 🙂

Congratulations Haley and Evan! Thank you for asking me to capture such a joyful day full of endless love and laughter!

Melinda + Tom’s Wedding | The Boathouse at Sunday Park

Melinda and Tom are married!!! I still can’t believe I had the honor of photographing this special day. I have known Melinda and her family since I was in middle school! After we attended different high schools, we didn’t see much of each other. Now here we are nine years later, and I am asked to capture one of the biggest moments of her life.

Tom so obviously complements Melinda in every way. You can see their love through the way they look at each other, the way they laugh together, and how they hold each other. This wedding was beyond beautiful in every way. It was full of love, stunning details, a very good looking bridal party, the sweetest families, and lots of fun on the dance floor!

I am so happy for these two and wish them all the blessings in the world! Now enjoy seeing each moment and details from the succulents to the first look, the hilarious daddy-daughter dance, the glowy sunset portraits, and the adorable bubble exit!
