My husband and I knew we lucked out when we found out Jules was available to shoot our wedding! From the very beginning (engagement shoot), Jules did an amazing job pulling our personalities out for every. single. picture!

We hosted a black-tie winter wedding (late February) with the Estate at River Run (ERR) and were blown away by the event. One of the biggest draws for us with ERR was the venue’s ability to accommodate both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and receptions with gorgeous locations for each. This allowed us to plan for an indoor ceremony but flex to an outdoor ceremony the week of the wedding to take advantage of good weather! Several months after our wedding we still have friends and family telling us how gorgeous the venue was! ERR did a wonderful job communicating during the planning process and ensuring we knew what they needed from us to host a successful event. The staff and security during the event were wonderful, the venue itself was an absolute fairytale for our wedding day. If you are looking for a venue that can host a black-tie event in central VA or the greater Richmond area, please consider ERR!

Gorgeous on the inside and out. The venue itself is huge! It has everything you could possibly ever need. Kerith has done a wonderful job of putting together such a beautiful space not only for weddings but for other events as well. The pricing/packaging is quite reasonable and probably the best in RVA with the option to include a wedding planner/coordinator. DO NOT SKIP OUT ON THIS!!! I cannot say this enough our wedding day went seamlessly thanks our amazing wedding planner/coordinator Emma Wolff with Wolff Weddings & Events LLC. She was with us every single step of the way. From the time we booked the venue in October until the very end of our wedding night and then some. I was in no way stressed out about our wedding because of Emma. She is the best at her job and truly loves what she does. 10/10 stars for this venue and Emma.

My name is Leander, but most people call me LJ. I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, and I believe that photographs aren't decoration. Your photographs are documentation of a life that's been fully lived. Loving people like Christ, paying attention to what matters to them, and showing up with intention is how I attempt to move through the world.

When we first booked Living Out Loud Productions for our wedding, we knew we were making the right choice, and four years later, that decision keeps paying off. LJ's communication was straightforward and supportive from day one, making the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, he brought such a positive energy to everything he did, capturing moments that felt genuine and full of joy. His photos turned out exactly how we hoped—sharp, beautiful, and full of life. We've loved working with him so much that we've hired him for every photoshoot since, and he's become a good friend along the way. If you want a photographer who is reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about your day, LJ is your person.

Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! They capture the charm of the venue, the joy from all our family and friends, and the love between my husband and I. We also received our photos SO quickly and got to browse through them on our honeymoon which was amazing. The Inmans were knowledgeable, professional, and created a very enjoyable experience. They’re young and hip and really understand what couples want from their wedding photos & videos these days. Wedding day was perfect! Not to mention Ashley was pregnant and still didn’t miss a beat all day!!

We are so lucky to have found Autumn's Custom Catering for our wedding! We found it was still cheaper to pay their travel fee to go from Richmond to Charlottesville than to find a local caterer and we so appreciate them making the long haul for us! Claudine and staff were friendly, informative, and responsive. The food was AMAZING and all of the catering staff went above and beyond to make our day special. They even helped put away decor and chairs at the end of the night while boxing up our leftovers (which we're still enjoying a week later!) We got so many compliments on both the food and the helpfulness of the catering crew and we cannot thank them enough!!

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.
