Jordan & Lacey’s Boho-Anglophile Dover Hall Wedding | Richmond Wedding Photographer

I would have never believed you in 2019 if you said I would get to photograph Jordan and Lacey’s Dover Hall wedding! This gorgeous countryside mansion one of the most sought-after luxury wedding venues in northern Virginia. And it’s no wonder why! The estate was built to resemble an English Tudor castle. According to their website, this massive venue boasts 27 restrooms, 19 fireplaces, ten lodging suites, and an eight-car garage! Hosting a wedding here will make you feel like royalty. Any bride would feel like a princess galavanting down it’s long corridors and winding staircases.

Jordan and Lacey’s wedding was a fairytale for other reasons, too. For example, I had the pleasure of second shooting alongside one of my favorite people, Stacie of Marshall Arts Photography. Jordan wore a beautiful, tailored tux with leather Louboutin loafers. And Lacey looked like a goddess in her beaded fitted wedding gown.

The couple met at church, and their Christian faith was the centerpiece of their ceremony in multiple ways. First, they washed each others feet in a symbol of servitude to one another. Then they took Communion together. Lastly, they worshipped Jesus as their friends performed a worship song.

If you know me, you know I am a huge supporter of faith-centered wedding ceremonies. Similarly, when Kevin and I got married, we made a point to make sure our ceremony said more about Jesus than it did about us. So, it just warms my heart to serve couples who do the same with their wedding day.

Overall, the photos from this wedding have quickly become favorites in my portfolio! I’m so thankful that Stacie trusted me to join her for this insanely beautiful day and serve her sweet couple. Here are just a few of the highlights from my camera on Jordan and Lacey’s special day.

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.

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.
