Nicole and Brian first met working at Hollister at Woodfield Mall back in the day... they didn't talk much at that time and reconnected a couple of years later through mutual friends. Nicole mentioned how she was going to Lollapalooza that year and Brian had never been but wanted to go. When Lolla came around a few weeks later, Brian met up with Nicole there and they ended up spending the entire weekend there together – and they have been with each other now for over a decade. Nicole and Brian truly are best friends and have spent the last 10 years going on adventures together and trying new restaurants. Brian proposed while they were hiking at Rock Island State Park in Tennessee in front of a beautiful waterfall.

Conrad, Lindsay and Marcella were all really excited to head to The District in Richmond for Nicole and Brian’s wedding. It was a gorgeous Fall day and everything just felt perfect. Nicole and Brian had opted for a smaller, more intimate wedding and did not have a wedding party, which meant that they had lots of time for pictures of just the two of them together. Honestly, while we love a big wedding party it was SO nice to just have that time with the bride and groom! And as a result Nicole and Brian ended up with SO many gorgeous photos of just the two of them, and isn’t that what matters most?! Nicole and Brian are so classy and looked like models; she looked extra glamorous thanks to our wildly talented friend Tricia Clarke who not only did Tricia do Nicole’s hair and makeup but she came along for photos and helped with the dress and keeping Nicole looking perfect all day. Nicole and Brian had their model faces on but also spent plenty of time making each other laugh, it was just such a joy to be alongside these two on their wedding day!

Nicole and Brian were interested in capturing some of their wedding day memories on classic film cameras. so Conrad brought along his 35mm film camera and also shot Polaroids on his Mamiya 67. We just LOVE being able to shoot film on a wedding day! Scroll to the bottom of this post to see all of the gorgeous film scans that Conrad created, it was just magical to be able to photograph Nicole and Brian and be a part of their unforgettable wedding day!
