Richmond Wedding Photographer- Third Church Ceremony Hotel- John Marshall Reception – Barbara & Jerry – Married!

On a beautiful October afternoon, Barbara and Jerry celebrated their wedding ceremony at Third Church in Henrico, VA. Barbara chose a dark purple for her bridesmaids, and accented it with bold orange florals. Throughout their ceremony, and the entire day, the couple was truly beaming… in fact I’m not sure the smiles EVER left their faces. The couple continued the festivities with a reception in the elegant Marshall Ballroom of Hotel John Marshall. The room  was filled with white art deco inspired florals and decor.  Barbara and Jerry spent the evening enjoying the company of their family, friends and co-workers. Jerry and Barbara made sure to incorporate personal touches , including a cake topper and a grooms cake that both gave a nod to Jerry’s career as a firefighter. The live band,  Kristi Kream and the Sugar Daddies was a ton of fun, even allowing Jerry (who has a history as a drummer) to sit in and play a song with the band. The joy of the day carried through from beginning to end, and I’m pleased to share these beautiful images from their day.
