Venue considerations

Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.

My husband and I were so very lucky to have booked The Workshop by T&D as our wedding venue. It was the first and only place we looked at. I truly cannot say enough good things about it. Gorgeous on the inside and out. The venue itself is huge! It has everything you could possibly ever need. Kerith has done a wonderful job of putting together such a beautiful space not only for weddings but for other events as well. The pricing/packaging is quite reasonable and probably the best in RVA with the option to include a wedding planner/coordinator. DO NOT SKIP OUT ON THIS!!! I cannot say this enough our wedding day went seamlessly thanks our amazing wedding planner/coordinator Emma Wolff with Wolff Weddings & Events LLC. She was with us every single step of the way. From the time we booked the venue in October until the very end of our wedding night and then some. I was in no way stressed out about our wedding because of Emma. She is the best at her job and truly loves what she does. 10/10 stars for this venue and Emma.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Armando a couple times under both my company and others, and it is a great experience every single time! He is fun, easy to talk to, upbeat, not to mention quite skilled at his craft too. I am almost always behind the camera and not in front of it, but I can tell that his personality and presence makes couples comfortable in front of the lens whether they're used to it or not, which is so incredibly valuable, your footage will always come out looking better if you are comfortable. Added bonus - he is tall, so he'll get those high angles that not everybody can manage to get, haha! I highly recommend him, no question

My name is Leander, but most people call me LJ. I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, and I believe that photographs aren't decoration. Your photographs are documentation of a life that's been fully lived. Loving people like Christ, paying attention to what matters to them, and showing up with intention is how I attempt to move through the world.

I had the pleasure of working with LJ for some mommy and me photos, and he was absolutely wonderful. He adapted so naturally to the kids, their energy, their silliness, even their short attention spans, and made the whole session feel effortless. He kept things fun, captured the sweetest moments, and made us all feel comfortable. Highly recommend checking him out!

Allyse Pulliam Photography Inc. is a wife and husband partnership between award-winning Richmond Times Dispatch photojournalist Allyse Pulliam and wedding photographer extraordinaire Nick Gross. We are down-to-earth, fun, and flexible, and we love our jobs. Our goal is to capture joyful, emotional, and artistic photos of your day and for you to feel happy and comfortable while we do it. We don't care who you are, where you are from, what you did (but extra points if it was cool), as long as you love each other. We are currently located in Richmond, VA and will happily travel to anywhere you may be

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with the photography services provided by Allyse and her husband Nick. We opted for 2-shooter photography rather than 1 photographer and 1 videographer for our budget, and the chemistry between the two of them made this seamless. When Allyse would focus on the more traditional shots, Nick captured more of the candid/artsy photos and wide-shots of us in the moment with our guests in the background. They were super friendly, and had a good balance of professionalism and chatty/casual conversation to get to know us and our wedding party. They had a great rapport between the two of them that allowed for us not to get too nervous when posing for pictures, because when they could sense a little bit of nerves, they would crack a joke or make us smile at exactly the right moments. And now that I’ve received our photo album back, I can see that they were able to capture those genuine laughs and smiles beautifully. I didn’t feel like any of our photos were overly staged or stiff because of this too; they created an environment where I felt natural in front of their lenses. They captured the events of our wedding day from many perspectives, and it’s given me so much joy to browse our photos and see how things looked from the guests’ views and what was going on when we were “busy” being the bride and groom. Allyse also recommended something I hadn’t thought of when we were planning what photos I wanted: a sneak-away moment as soon as our ceremony ended to get pictures of us after we’d just gotten married. The genuine happiness on our faces is so sweet to have captured forever in our photos, and it provided a little buffer period to really take in the events of our ceremony, have a moment to be just us, and mentally prepare to walk into our cocktail hour and start the party of the night! Our photos are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be happier with their services. We received 1600 photos back about a month after our wedding day; great volume and turn-around time. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is in need of wedding or professional photography. I had a hard time even picking "the best" pictures to include in this review as there are so many amazing photos to choose from :)

We cannot recommend Lelia and Forevermore Weddings highly enough! From start to finish, Lelia was beyond amazing and played a huge role in making our wedding day at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts absolutely perfect. We chose the partial planning option with Forevermore and felt like we had more than enough meetings with Lelia in the year leading up to our wedding. What impressed us most was how seamlessly she handled everything behind the scenes. On our wedding day, there was an issue with one of our other vendors, and Lelia took care of it completely without ever bothering us. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to stay focused on celebrating with our family and friends. It wasn't until later that we learned just how much she had done to resolve the situation. Throughout the planning process, Lelia was organized, responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She helped with each important decision, and also made the process fun! We really felt like the intention we had for every piece of our wedding day was executed to perfection. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Lelia as our wedding planner and are so grateful for everything she did for us. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your wedding, look no further than Forevermore Weddings. Thank you, Lelia, for making our special day unforgettable! -Kayla & Roy

We take time to get to know you, show up ready to celebrate with your people, and make sure the bar adds to the energy of the night - not takes away from it. Your wedding deserves that. Love y’all.

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

Having never worked with a professional photographer before I was very nervous to find someone to capture our elopement. From the second I reached out to Elizabeth she was so sweet and accommodating. She assured me there was nothing to be nervous about! We weren’t sure where we wanted to go for our elopement ceremony, and she helped us brainstorm fun local locations. On the day of the ceremony she helped my husband pick the perfect spot overlooking the ocean. She made us feel so comfortable and really captured our personalities in the photos which was super important to us! We are obsessed with the photos and are so grateful to have worked with Elizabeth.
