Sarah and Rob scheduled their wedding ceremony to be at 3:30 PM - since we decided that the best light for photography on November 14th., would be around 4:30 or 5 PM (near sunset). There had been mostly cloud cover the entire day - until just prior to sunset, when we were all surprised to see the sun pop out a bit - right on cue.

These group shots were taken immediately after the ceremony - which took place at Salisbury Presbyterian Church. We actually took the photos across the street at their reception site - Salisbury Country Club.

Have you ever wondered.. Where is is good spot for a wedding in Carytown? How about the Byrd Theatre on Cary Street, a Virginia historic landmark. This classic old movie theater makes a delightful backdrop for pictures. Not to mention, you get to have your name on the historic marquee.

The reception was held at The Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond. The award winning hotel (Mobil Five Diamond Award) features a historic staircase that some believe to be the inspiration for the staircase scenes in "Gone With The Wind".
