Spring Wedding at Maymont & Common House Richmond, Virginia

Gradey and Sophie got married at the Italian Gardens at Maymont Park, then headed to Common House Richmond to party. Sophie wore a vintage bridal gown from the 70s for her ceremony (from Juniper Lane), a revolve mini dress for the reception, and dolce vita shoes. The ceremony was adorned with pastel spring florals by Wild Flora Event Co. As Sophie walked down the aisle, Christina Thomas (RVA Harpist) played an ethereal Lana Del Rey song on her harp. Common House provided a delicious family style dinner and the cutest heart shaped wedding cake with antique swan cake toppers. DJ Seth Casena kept the party going through the night and we wrapped up with a flower petal reception send off.

The attention to sentimental details that went into the design of this wedding is truly unmated. Thank you so much to Gradey, Sophie, their welcoming families, and their fabulous vendor team who put on one of the best Richmond weddings I've ever photographed. Below are my personal favorite photographs from their gorgeous March wedding.
