Favorite Places to Photograph

I think most photographers have their favorite and not so favorite places to photograph. Last year I shot a wedding at the historic Monumental Church in downtown Richmond. On my first visit, as I entered through the large wooden doors, I made a promise to myself to come back again to photograph this amazing structure.  I have always been a huge fan of photographing using natural light and this old historic church fed my passion.  I fell in love with the peeling plaster, wooden floor boards, winding staircase and two huge semi-circle windows.  My model, Casey Brynildsen, whose wedding took place on April 20, 2013, was a perfect fit for this beautiful location.  Here are some of the bridal portraits we shot that day.
