This stunning east coast wedding editorial was crafted with inspiration drawn from joy-filled moments, high fashion, and the enchanting world of film. The masterminds behind this shoot, Heather Benge & Alexia Woolum, channeled the refinement and sophistication of The Estate at River Run into creating a truly beautiful and stylish event.

The venue is a breathtaking private estate on acres of picturesque land, boasting an elegant mansion overlooking the James River in Maidens, Virginia.

Every estate corner exudes beauty and luxury, from the grandeur of the foyer with its crystal chandelier and dual staircases to the outdoor terrace offering a captivating river view. The model for this editorial, Allie, was styled with a simple yet elegant bridal look. Her natural curls were styled into a low bun by Boho Braids by Ivy, while Deja Gentry created a natural and effortless makeup look. Allie donned a gorgeous ruffled gown from Styled Gowns, paired with chic earrings from White Sandals Bridal and white heels with tulle bows. Her overall appearance perfectly complemented the refined and luxurious feel of The Estate at River Run.
