UVA alum celebrate in charlottesville with colorful black tie wedding

“We will forever be your super fans from attending our friends’ wedding that you photographed, but we’re even more impressed with you and your work after this past weekend. Thank you, Xiaoqi, for doing a spectacular job photographing our big day!” -Emily & Will

This wedding was one of four that I photographed within the friend group of 'The Dollhouse' - the nickname of the home four UVA girls shared during undergrad. It's been an honor being a part of each of their celebrations, with this being the second one.

Emily and Will have a deep love for the University of Virginia where they met, fell in love, and later got engaged. Their ceremony was not photographed to respect rules set by the church and officiant, but we made sure to get pictures of the bridal party waiting for guests to arrive, and hanging out. After Emily and Will were married, we were off to their Wool Factory wedding reception to celebrate the rest of the night.
