A.J. and Diane came to us after we shot A.J.’s sister’s wedding on New Year’s Eve\u00a0a couple of years ago. \u00a0Click here to check that one out, too.<\/a> \u00a0It’s always great to see familiar faces and it’s certainly an honor\u00a0getting invited back to work with the family after the first wedding. \u00a0 Lindsay and I were also excited to be returning to the beautiful\u00a0Ebenezer Baptist Church<\/a> in Jackson Ward. \u00a0 An underrated part of being a wedding photographer is getting to experience first hand the foundations of many communities, its churches. \u00a0Richmond definitely has its share and few bring more rich history than this one. \u00a0Following the ceremony, it was off to another Richmond foundation; the Jefferson Hotel and its newly renovated Empire ballroom. \u00a0To the Jackson and Satlzburg families, we want to say thank you again for having us and we can’t wait to work with you again.<\/p>\n
