Lauren and Andrew had an absolutely enchanting' Mankin Mansion wedding on a beautiful summer day!

Our team arrived at Mankin Mansion in Richmond and was reminded how lucky we are to have so many beautiful Richmond wedding venues. Mankin Mansion was the perfect setting for the couple's fairy tale wedding.

Lauren's vision for her wedding was a garden tea party, and her team of wedding vendors made it happen! Every detail was meticulously designed to create a fairytale atmosphere, from the whimsical florals to the adorable teapot accents and Disney elements. It was like following Alice’s white rabbit straight into a storybook!

Lauren wore a couple of unique accessories that meant a lot to her. Her earrings carry a piece of her mother's story that her father gifted her while deployed. Lauren's necklace is a cherished heirloom from her grandmother, a meaningful touch that connected generations on this special day.

Once Lauren stepped into her beautiful wedding dress, the emotions were visible. She shared a memorable first look with her father, which was such a touching start to the day.

Before the ceremony, Andrew and Lauren shared their first look. Seeing his beaming smile and a few happy tears as he turned around to see his gorgeous bride was the sweetest. Our team just loved photographing this sweet couple—how they show their love for one another is so special.

Lauren and Andrew's love story culminated in the beauty of the Italian gardens. Against the backdrop of an ornate iron arbor with an array of vibrant florals, they exchanged their vows. Their family and friends' love surrounded them with warmth and support as they embarked on their journey as husband and wife.

The glow from sunset lit Lauren's veil and made it sparkle. We were all obsessed with their golden hour portraits!

The evening ended with an incredible fireworks show illuminating the night sky and adding an extra magic touch to the celebration. It was the perfect way to end their special day!

Andrew and Lauren, your connection is so precious, and capturing these moments you'll cherish forever was an absolute honor for us. Congratulations, you two—you’re just the best!
