Katie + Mike | Wedding

When a bride opens the conversation with succulents and air plants, we know we’re going to love her and Katie was absolutely no exception. Her easy sense of style shone through from our first consultation. Set against two beautiful Richmond backdrops and infused with personal touches like her grandmother’s broach and a piece of her mother’s wedding dress, Katie and Mike’s day was a true representation of their commitment and pure excitement to be with one another. This natural, neutral, succulent filled celebration could not have been more gorgeously captured by Melissa Desjardins. You can truly see the joy and love leaping off the page from her photographs. Warmest wishes and heartfelt congratulations to an amazing life of laughter and love y’all! Cheers.
