Leslie and Payton were sealed for eternity on a chilly December day at the Washington DC Temple.  When I first met them at their Richmond engagement session, I instantly fell in love with them.  They are such a sweet couple and have so much love for one another.  Their family welcomed me with open arms and I immediately felt so at home with them.  This wedding was such a sweet reminder of the blessing that marriage is.  You see, my husband and I were married in the Washington DC Temple 10 years ago.  We celebrated our anniversary the day before their wedding.  Being in this special place, with such incredible people, was so amazing.  I’m so grateful for the opportunity to document these beautiful moments.    
After our time on temple grounds, we traveled to Richmond, Virginia for their Boathouse at Rocket’s Landing reception.  Their monochromatic and classic color palette was the perfect touch for the industrial and unique backdrop of this venue.   Its picturesque view of the Richmond skyline was amazing.  It was such a perfect day!   
Thank you Leslie and Payton for letting me be with you on your special day!
