Historic Monumental Church Wedding | William and Mary Wedding Photographer

Most of the inquiries I receive are somehow connected to my alma mater, The College of William and Mary. As I’ve said before, William & Mary weddings are my favorite because they always seem to have the best people in attendance! Sam & Eric’s southern wedding on a private estate outside of Richmond, Virginia was no different!

Sam & Eric met during their undergraduate years at the College, so they’re both incredibly driven and dynamic. Eric surprised Sam by proposing on the Crim Dell Bridge (he orchestrated the entire thing himself), and then I was lucky enough to witness them committing their lives to each other in Richmond’s stunning and historic Monumental Church. It was a day of dreaming, and I know I speak for everyone in attendance when I write that everything about it was perfectly Sam & Eric, timeless and thoughtful!
