{Virginia} Ballet Wedding Inspiration at Mount Ida Farm

This two day photo session, originally inspired by Swan Lake, took place against the idyllic backdrop of Virginia’s Mount Ida Farm.  Models from the Richmond Ballet are absolutely beautiful and chic, and the story unravels like something out of a wedding fairytale.  The property’s reception venue was embellished with classical colors, whimsical desserts, elegant florals, and delicate trinkets that enhanced the Parisian mood of the event.  An antique hardwood table with a Chantilly lace runner served as the focal point of the reception, and oversized light bulbs glowed overhead, casting perfect lighting on the Impressionist artwork hanging not far away.  The lights adorning the grand staircase mimicked the twinkle of starlight.  As the couple danced the night away, it only made perfect sense that actual ballerinas had been called upon for such an opportunity.
