Richmond, Virginia Wedding Photographer | Tessa & Stephen's Vintage Inspired Backyard Wedding

 

Going through Tessa & Stephen’s wedding photos just makes me tear up all over again. It was one of the hottest days I can remember experiencing in Oregon - the sun was literally burning through the top of my black oxfords to my toes. But the heat definitely didn’t take away from the sentiment and calmness that their wedding day held. Tessa & Stephen made sure their guests were comfortable (and cute for photos!) by providing their guests with colorful paper fans and umbrellas. You can tell just by looking through the photos, how kind and caring Tessa & Stephen are. The wedding took place at their Aunt & Uncle’s house with the ceremony in a beautiful grassy opening in the front yard. We took advantage of the big open field behind their house for sunset photos and I am still obsessed with how they turned out. They had some of the best (in my opinion!) food vendors that Portland has to offer, including Salt & Straw ice cream, Poplandia popcorn and Mint & Mirth bartending. It was definitely one of the most successful and beautiful at-home weddings I’ve ever been a part of. Take a look for yourself!

Congrats Tessa & Stephen!

Myles Katherine Photography at Steven Francis Fine Art Gallery in Lynchburg, Va

 

I’m super excited to be a part of the opening group show at Steven Francis Fine Art Gallery in Lynchburg, Virginia. My work is being shown alongside a ton of talented artists such as Jurgen Ziesmann, Kristen Feighery and of course, Steve Coates and Lucia Coates (the gallery owner and his wife). Steve Coates was my photography professor at Lynchburg College from 2008-2011 and I continued to work for him after graduation as his second shooter and film photography archivist. Steve Coates has always encouraged me along my photographic journey and it’s an honor to be one of his featured artists for his new gallery. He also owns the incredibly successful Montana Plains Bakery in Wyndhurst (they even made my wedding cake)! Steven Francis Fine Art Gallery can be found inside and upstairs at Montana Plains Bakery. Grab a coffee and a (delicious) pastry and head upstairs Tuesday-Saturday 10:30 am - 5:30 pm to see all of the amazing art!

You can purchase my prints here or you can contact me directly if there is a specific print or size you are looking for.

Happy Holidays!
