On a serene Sunday spring afternoon, it was indeed the perfect day for a garden engagement session at Historic Tuckahoe in Richmond, VA. Emily and Will, a couple deeply in love, eagerly embarked on a remarkable journey, traveling over 5 hours from New Jersey in order to capture their beautiful love story in a breathtaking engagement session. With the historic estate as their enchanting backdrop, this truly picturesque location provided the ideal setting for them to create and cherish their heartfelt moments.
Upon their arrival at Historic Tuckahoe, Emily and Will were immediately embraced by the captivating allure of the blooming gardens. The meticulously maintained gardens, with their vibrant colors and fragrant scents, provided a delightful feast for the senses. At every turn, a kaleidoscope of blossoming flowers, including delicate roses and cheerful tulips, welcomed them, painting a scene that evoked a whimsical fairytale ambiance.
Exploring Open Fields:
Venturing beyond the formal gardens, Emily and Will discovered the expansive open fields that awaited them. The vastness of the fields allowed them to embrace the freedom and joy of their love. Running hand-in-hand, they reveled in the sunlight streaming through the gently swaying grass, creating an ethereal atmosphere that beautifully encapsulated their connection.
Among the most captivating features of Historic Tuckahoe was the majestic weeping willow tree. With its graceful branches cascading towards the ground, it offered a natural frame for Emily and Will’s tender moments. Beneath its canopy, they found solace and serenity, as they exchanged heartfelt promises of a future filled with love and shared dreams.
One particularly enchanting spot captured the couple’s hearts—a large patch of buttercups. Amidst golden blooms, Emily and Will laughed, basking in warm sunlight and echoing joyfully through the air. The gentle touch of nature surrounded them, creating a whimsical scene that perfectly mirrored the magic of their love.
Emily and Will’s 5-hour journey from New Jersey led them to a captivating haven. The garden engagement session at Historic Tuckahoe was a celebration of love and nature’s timeless beauty.

Emily & Will’s Garden Engagement Session
We spent a beautiful hour wandering through all the gardens, snap photos and laughing together. Emily and Will plan to marry this coming May at Oakdale Barn, one of my favorite venues in outer Richmond. Which I think will look perfect in photos next to their garden engagement photos of their wall.
