This shoot has been in my mind for years now. Ben and I considered having a Halloween wedding where all guests must come in costume! Since his brother got hitched in October, we decided on a traditional spring wedding. But what are styled shoots if not a fictional wedding you wish you had?!

I assembled a group of vendors who wanted to bring a wedding to life that was unique to the Washington, DMV area. Our state has so much history that we wanted to take advantage of a lesser known historic monument. Polegreen Church is tucked away in the backroads of Richmond. Some say that this open air church is haunted but we just think it’s hauntingly beautiful.
