Country Club of Virginia Westhampton Wedding with Charming Southern Touches | Richmond Wedding Photographer

If you’re a fan of timeless wedding traditions and charming vintage decor, you’re in for a treat. Alexandra and Porter’s wedding day had all the trappings of a refined southern soiree. The Country Club of Virginia Westhampton served as a fitting setting for their special moments. There’s so much inspiration to draw from this wedding day. It’s especially inspiring if you are looking for ways to plan an intimate feel to pair to luxury wedding tastes.

Impactful Wedding Planning for an Intimate-Feel Event

Alexandra and Porter proved on their special day that tastefully planned details can make such an impact in small decisions. First, the bride and groom’s attire nodded toward traditional formality with little fuss. Alexandra’s simple ballgown with a plush satin bow on the back fit her so beautifully. It complimented Porter’s black-tie tux paired with a white dinner jacket to bring the style up to a new level.

Their florals, mostly leaning into lush white hydrangeas and blue delphiniums, made such beautiful statements inside porcelain chinoiserie vases.

The wedding reception was set as a cocktail & hors d’oeuvres format. I loved how it allowed guests the option to sit or stand and mingle! Food was served at different buffet stations throughout the spacious ballroom. All was capped off with servings from the couple’s all white lambeth wedding cake.

Golden Hour Portraits at Country Club of Virginia Westhampton Wedding

But if you know me at all, you know what I loved most was our portrait time. Porter and Alexandra just glowed — not just in beauty but in love! They were so delightful to work with. And they did anything they could to follow along with us to get the shots we were envisioning. They had full faith in us, which helped us produce some of the dreamiest golden hour portraits!

Their beaming attitudes were contagious, and made their wedding feel so personal. I had the absolute pleasure working with them as their second shooter (shooting alongside my sweet friend Stacie of Marshall Arts Photography). I am proud to share some of my favorite captures from the day! If you want to read more about the couple, check out Stacie’s blog post.

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.
