Richard & Emily’s Vintage Themed Jefferson Hotel and Country Club of Virginia Wedding | Richmond Wedding Photographer

I photograph so many beautiful weddings that it’s hard to commit to a favorite. However, if I could choose my favorite wedding theme, Richard and Emily planned one that comes awfully close to toppling all the others! When I first chatted with Stacie Marshall (Marshall Arts Photography) about second shooting their wedding for her, I could hardly wait to see Emily’s vision come to life. As soon as I heard she drew inspiration for her Country Club of Virginia wedding from Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, and Kate Middleton, my expectations were naturally high. But they were also exceeded!

Richard and Emily met while dancing in the Richmond ballet. Yeah, their story is about as classical a romance as you can get! When I first met Emily on her wedding day, I was stunned by how much of a natural beauty she was. Her smile exuded grace and kindness. Similarly, Richard was a classic gentleman with a high attention to detail.

Getting Ready at The Jefferson Hotel | Richmond Wedding Photographer

They began their day getting ready at the famous Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond. The beautiful lobby was fit for this American royalty love story to get started. We took Richard’s groom portraits outside The Jefferson, then a few with their rented 1953 Bentley. (What a beautiful car!!)

A Holy Matrimony at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Richmond

We then traveled to Cathedral of the Sacred Heart for their wedding ceremony. The light from the large circular window in the sanctuary cast an angelic glow upon Emily as she floated down the aisle to her love. But what melted me most was seeing how Richard looked at his beautiful bride. Scroll down to those photos to have your eyes swell. It’s so sweet.

A Classic Wedding Reception at Country Club of Virginia

After their Cathedral of the Sacred Heart wedding ceremony, Richard and Emily welcomed guests for their Country Club of Virginia wedding reception. This venue is just stunning! The large ballroom had a balcony-lined ceiling in the middle, which gave me a beautiful vantage point during their elegant first dance.

Every detail of this classic wedding was so beautifully thought out. I hope you enjoy these timeless images! Small disclaimer, I took these photos while second shooting for Marshall Arts Photography, but if you’d like to see the edits the couple received, check out the blog post from MAP here!

Every detail of the Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase 2025 was pure magic. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I had the joy of being invited to capture not only the beautifully curated spaces but also the intimate behind-the-scenes moments that made this spring showcase possible. From lush florals to elegant table settings, the event was a treasure trove of spring wedding inspiration for brides dreaming up their perfect day.

Hosted at Nova Studio in the heart of Atlanta, this carefully crafted experience was designed to set the tone for the upcoming wedding season—and it did not disappoint.

Spring Wedding Inspiration for Modern Southern Brides

The design vision for the showcase–Prima Flora–embraced soft pastels, delicate textures, and fresh seasonal styling. Think romantic blush tones, textured linens, and floral-forward installations. Madelyn and her talented team created a setting that felt simultaneously elevated and welcoming. It was truly a perfect exhibition of what sophisticated spring weddings can be in Georgia.

As I arrived early to document the event setup, I was able to photograph the team in their element: adjusting linens, styling stationery, and rehearsing the layout one last time. These behind-the-scenes moments revealed just how much heart went into this event. It’s easy to see why so many brides trust Madelyn Tenney Events to bring their dream weddings to life.

Behind the Scenes with Madelyn Tenney Events

Before the doors opened, I had the privilege of capturing team headshots for the women behind Madelyn Tenney Events. Their energy, collaboration, and vision made it clear this wasn’t just a design showcase—it was a heartfelt celebration of creativity and community.

The environment was buzzing with excitement as florists arranged final stems and vendors fluffed the final cushions. The team’s chemistry was undeniable, and it translated directly into the seamless flow of the event itself.

The Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase

At the heart of the showcase were the intentional design vignettes. Each space told a story, offering spring wedding inspiration tailored for modern Southern brides. One standout element was a centerpiece floral installation by Marigo Flowers, assisted by Pollen Floral Company. It floated above a table layered with blush-toned linens from BBJ La Tavola, catching the light beautifully throughout the afternoon.

An eye-catching ice sculpture by Ice Sculpture Inc. ATL added a playful, elevated touch to the scene, while live entertainment from Jewel the Ballerina captivated attendees with ethereal movement, bringing life to the experience. Glasswing Rentals curated tableware that sparkled under the natural light of Nova Studio, and JC Rental Collective and Party Bound contributed pieces that gave each setup personality and polish.

Why This Event Matters for Atlanta Brides

If you’re a bride planning a wedding in Atlanta, Savannah, or North Georgia looking for fresh spring wedding inspiration, events like this one are invaluable. They don’t just showcase trends—they display the talent of local, trustworthy vendors who are passionate about what they do.

Every vendor at this showcase brought their A-game. Seeing each one’s work in person—and getting to document it as a film-inspired wedding photographer—was such an honor.

What I Loved Most as an Atlanta Wedding Photographer

Photographing this spring wedding inspiration at Nova Studio was a dream. The soft filtered light made the colors pop in a way that felt timeless and true-to-color. My goal is always to deliver film-inspired wedding photos that feel both editorial and authentic. The setting created by Madelyn Tenney Events was ideal for that.

Being trusted to document the designs and the passion behind them—team portraits, set-up, genuine laughter—reminds me why I love this work. These are the moments that couples don’t always see. These are the images that reveal the effort, energy, and heart poured into a couple’s day long before they say I do.

Want more from this amazing showcase? The full gallery is available for your viewing and inspiration!

If you’re planning a spring wedding in Georgia, take this as your sign: romantic color palettes, thoughtful texture layering, intentional florals, and a dream team of vendors are always a winning combination. And if you’re looking for a light and airy wedding photographer, I’d be honored to capture it all.

Let’s create something beautiful together. Contact me to inquire for more information about pricing and packages!
