This wedding has to go down in the books as one of my all time favorites!! Michele and Tim did such an amazing job planning this wedding so that everyone in attendance had the best time. Michele and I met working in the English department at Atlee a few years ago. Her and Tim were long distance for years and she left me this past school year to move to Northern Va and her and Tim bought an incredible house! Luckily, Michele still has family in Richmond so I know she’ll be back to visit. You might recognize Michele’s maid of honor because I photographed her wedding almost a year ago!! Getting to know Michele, Lora, and Tim’s family has been the biggest blessing. They are all so incredible and boy do they know how to party. I specifically recognized a couple uncles and aunts on Michele’s family side once the dance floor opened, ha!! Moments from this wedding I’ll never forget are Michele and her dad’s first look, the CRAZY wind that happened right as the first look was in place, and how incredibly excited Tim and Michele were all day to BE MARRIED!! Enjoy this beautiful, snowy winter wedding!

Michele- I had to include the champagne pictures, haha! 

Rightttt before the first look, a huge gust of wind picked up.  I’m so glad Michele and Tim braved the cold to get these beautiful snowy portraits. 

These girls were TROOPERS! 

Nothing like a family/friends shot seconds before walking down the aisle!
