Justin and Emily- Richmond VA Wedding Photographer

The look on his face as she walked down the aisle said it all. I’m pretty sure it was the most joyful expression I’ve ever seen, and not just because his wife-to-be looked drop dead gorgeous, but because she was about to promise to be his forever. That joyful attitude seemed to be theme throughout the entire day as Michelle and I celebrated with Justin and Emily when they promised to love God and each other forever and ever amen! Em and Justin, you are such a breath of fresh air and I’m so thankful to know you both. People like you are exactly why I LOVE what I get to do every day. You’re the best! :0) Justin was wearing his grandfather’s horseshoe ring, so I wanted to make sure that I incorporated it in some of their ring shots: this one really cracks me up, emily had so many people that were MORE than willing to make sure she looked perfect for her big day ;0) I’m pretty sure its impossible to have a bad day when you’re wearing red high heels: Em and Justin opted to do a first look so we would have plenty of time for their portraits! Always a great idea if you ask me ;0) love how she’s looking at him in this one: these first few are definitely some of my favorites from their day:I’d say they look pretty darn happy, how about you? :0) LOVE! I know there was alot going on in this moment as Emily is walking down the aisle, but Em, I hope you saw the smile on his face and how completely joyful he was that you were walking towards him: one, two, skip a few, and they’re married!! definitely thumbs up and fist pumping worthy ;0) i was loving their table centerpieces! so creative! they had all different quotes set up, some scripture, some movie quotes, and some funny ones from friends. Incase these are too small for you to read, the first one is “Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. Psalm 24:3” the second is “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller” the third quote from one of their friends is “True love is your wife coming home to find streak marks in your underwear and doing the laundry anyway. – Jared Galloway” (that one totally made me  laugh!) and the last one is from Cinderella: “So this is love, so this is what makes life divine.” SUCH a fun idea! :0) Justin and Emily had their reception at Plant Zero in Richmond and it. looked. amazing!!!!!!!! the lights everywhere gave it such a cool vibe! love these next few from their first dance!loved how the cake matched emily’s dress! they were so sweet to each other during the cake cutting (much to the dismay of many of their friends that apparently thought things were about to get messy!)  but there was a split second after it was over that the rest of the cake almost ended up all over justin ;0) Hope you’re having SO much fun at Disney World and get to see the fireworks over the castle as many times as possible! :0) Tell Mickey i said hey :0) Here’s your slideshow!
