There are so many wedding venues in Virginia that offer amazing amenities and beautiful ballrooms, ceiling and chandeliers. I have seen quite a few but still have a lot more on my list to visit! I have had many opportunities to experience indoor and outdoor wedding venues in the last 7 years. In the current […]

Maggie and Whit got married on March 13th just before the whole world went on lockdown. They definitely got married during a monumental year and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it! Maggie is an Annalise bride and one of my coworkers recommended her to me on a day I wasn’t […]
