Bridal Portraits in RVA

Published on January 11, 2024 by Remy PhotosLeave a comment

Before Kim and Brendan’s big day, I met her at their wedding venue – the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) – for her own bridal portraits. Kim wore her ceremony dress, the first of her three wedding day looks. It was a modern romantic dress with floral lace details and a sweetheart neckline. These will always be some of my favorite bridal portraits- she looked like an absolute DREAM.

Emily and Josh’s Engagement Session

How adorable are Emily and Josh?! We hit three of my favorite spots for their Richmond engagement photoshoot – Brown’s Island, VMFA, and Libby Hill!

In true Remy Photos fashion, we included a champagne pop to get the party started and kept the energy up with shots from the most beautiful bottle of tequila I’ve ever seen. It even matched their outfits, down to her stylish shoes.

I just love these two and their chemistry- what a dream photoshoot!

Katherine and Taylor’s Engagement Session

Published on May 26, 2023 by Remy PhotosLeave a comment

We did SO much laughing during Katherine and Taylor’s engagement session at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture! In just thirty minutes we got enough images for a full gallery of giggles and sweet, romantic moments.

The history museum, located in the heart of Richmond’s Museum District, was a beautiful backdrop for their engagement photos. I love the clean and neutral color of the building, the classic columns and architectural details, and of course the blooming hydrangeas!

Katharine wore a perfectly bridal, trendy, white mini dress, and Taylor opted for a blue button-up that really made their light eyes pop. I managed to find both pink and purple blossoms around the property for some very on-brand Remy Photos ring shots of Katharine’s new favorite piece of jewelry! And right at the end of the shoot, we lucked out with a stream of gorgeous golden light.

The best memories and the warmest smiles are captured when the couple just has FUN and treats their engagement session like a date night… where I’m the third wheel. It was truly a joy being that third wheel for the night with these two! Congratulations, cuties!

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Wedding | Kim + Brendan

Published on April 20, 2023 by Remy PhotosLeave a comment

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!
