Mary & Timmy’s wedding at The Commonwealth Club of Richmond was timeless, elegant, and full of unforgettable details. It was a late fall afternoon when Mary & Timmy wed. The fall leaves were lit with the glow of the sun peering through the trees. And the weather was inviting for an unseasonably warm fall afternoon in Richmond.

There were moments of delight and whimsy sprinkled throughout Mary & Timmy’s wedding day. The couple wed only days before Halloween and arranged guest favors in the form of trick-or-treat bags to take home. It was a fun way to thank their guests while embracing the spirit of the season.

The Inspiration

The focus of Mary and Timmy’s wedding day was to create a classic, timeless Richmond wedding in the city. Their color palette was primarily comprised of neutrals with light pinks, greens, and heaps of creamy white shades. 

The bride’s father served as the floral designer for the day with lush, abundant arrangments. To add a special touch of home to the florals, the bride and groom opted to incorporate Magnolia leaves into their arrangements. The Magnolia leaves are a nod to the bride’s family home, where an enormous Magnolia tree resides in their yard.

Mary & Timmy’s wedding celebration at The Commonwealth Club of Richmond was a reflection of their joyful nature and their fun & lively personalities. The maid of honor along with the best man stood in front of the crowd to deliver their laugh-worthy toasts, which the bride and groom later recalled as one of their favorite moments of the day. From there, the dance floor was positively packed, with guests singing along and dancing to the music, no matter the tune.

HI SUNSHINE!

I'M NICKI

I see the beauty in imperfect things. As a Christ-follower, faith is central to my life, work, and connections. I am fueled by joy, known for my bubbly and sunny disposition, and always with a warm hug. Imperfect beauty inspires my love for all things vintage, abstract art, and real love stories. I love moments full of grit and emotion; life off the beaten path; stunning views along the shore; and the juxtaposition of New York grunge and laid back Cali-vibe. 

As a mother of two, I am very familiar with how quickly life’s most important moments fly by too quickly. I will calmly and seamlessly guide you through frames that will endure. I strive to capture your memories with one-of-a-kind images full of meaning. I cannot wait to connect with you! 

I bring all of these elements to my time with my couples. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I know how to gently guide you through poses that are natural and beautiful. The transition into this sentence doesn’t make sense. Throughout your day, you will feel the love from those there to celebrate
 you two. 
When I’m not photographing weddings, I enjoy long walks in the neighborhood with my husband, my kiddos Tuxie and Sunny, and my labradoodle Hokie.. Also, I am a huge dog-lover! I’m pretty sure heaven is full of dogs. I can’t wait to connect with you, and yes, your pup is always welcome here!
