Brooke & Paul | A Romantic & Playful Microwedding at Maymont Park

"Tucked away in the Italian Gardens of Maymont Park in Richmond, VA, Brooke and Paul celebrated their love with an intimate microwedding that was equal parts romantic and playful. With handwritten vows, beautiful florals, and champagne popping against the garden backdrop, their day felt effortless, joyful, and completely theirs."

Brooke’s warmth and thoughtfulness shone through in every detail, while Paul’s playful spirit kept the day lighthearted and fun. Together, they balance one another perfectly—Brooke grounding the moment in tenderness while Paul infuses it with energy. Their chemistry came alive during the ceremony and carried through every laugh and embrace during portraits.

The ceremony took place outdoors in Maymont’s breathtaking Italian Gardens, surrounded by lush greenery and timeless stonework. Against this serene backdrop, Brooke and Paul shared handwritten vows that had them laughing, tearing up, and holding each other close. The intimacy of the setting made the moment feel even more profound—like the world had paused just for them.

After the ceremony, we wandered through the gardens for portraits, capturing a blend of romance and playful energy. Brooke’s bouquet added a vibrant pop of color to every frame, while Paul’s smile never left his face. The session ended with a celebratory champagne pop—joy spilling out as naturally as the bubbles. These portraits weren’t just about poses; they were about capturing their dynamic as a couple: genuine, easygoing, and full of laughter.

"What stood out most about Brooke and Paul’s Maymont Park microwedding was how authentic it felt. There were no distractions, just two people fully present with each other. Their vows, their laughter, and their champagne celebration reminded me that love doesn’t need grandeur to be unforgettable—it just needs to be real."
