Richmond Wedding Photographers | Ashton Creek Vineyard Wedding

David and Deauna had an enchanting Ashton Creek Vineyard Wedding in Spring.

After they'd been attending college for a year, they met through a group of mutual high school friends. Fast forward to now, and these two are officially married!

Several of Deauna's jewelry pieces held special meaning to her. As part of her bouquet, she added pearls that were originally attached to her mother's wedding dress. She also wore her mother's heart necklace and earrings and a red ring that was her grandmother's. Deauna’s father styled her hair, and not only was it so sweet to watch their interactions, but he obviously did a fabulous job—Deauna looked amazing!

David wore a stylish black tux with a custom lining of "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Deauna had two beautiful wedding gowns. One for the ceremony, and the other for the reception. Her first gown was off the shoulder with lace detailing and a long train. The second dress she wore was a short white dress that allowed her to dance!

Their ceremony included reserved front seats with flowers on each chair for their deceased grandparents. Their involvement in theater has been a part of their relationship, so the ceremony music came from various musicals, including The Greatest Showman. As Deauna and her father walked down the aisle, David had tears rolling down his face. During the ceremony, they had a handfasting/unity ritual. This part of the ceremony was very special to them as they had several of their closest family choose a color of rope that they used to bind their hands together. Each of the colors represented different aspects of David and Deauna themselves.

The formal parent dances were very emotional. Deauna danced with her father to "Butterfly Kisses," and as they danced, he sang along. David stood off to the side, watching them, as the tears welled up in his eyes. Photographer Janine, admitted that for the first time during a wedding reception, she also cried! Following Deauna and her dad dancing, David and his mother got on the dance floor, singing and dancing to "My Wish."

At the end of the evening, guests lined up for a sparkler exit as David and Deauna danced one last time together. When they exited the venue, they ran through the sparklers and did a dip kiss. David then swept Deauna off her feet and headed to the car!
