When beautiful bride Jessica teamed up with her talented  Alex C. Tenser Photography, the ladies agreed The Virginia House was going to be the perfect location for a portrait shoot!  In search of a moody, rich and regal aesthetic, the historic English manor totally fit the bill.  Did you know that the structure that is now The Virginia House was originally constructed in England in the 1500’s?  The house was later demolished and parts were brought across the pond where it was replicated in Richmond at the turn of the 20th century.  So cool, right? With that rich and unique history it’s no wonder this estate provided such a beautiful backdrop!  These ladies also brought in the talented Maggie Richard Design to style some ethereal and elegant vignettes throughout the venue.  We know you’ll enjoy browsing all the beautiful bridal moments below!
