Zoe & Jacob | Virginia Cliffe Inn Richmond Wedding

Leigh Skaggs — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 14:13:58 +0000

I have known Zoe since she was about 4 months old. When I tell you how much it meant to be chosen to document Zoe and Jacob’s Virginia Cliffe Inn Wedding in Richmond, I was in tears ALL DAY LONG!

Not only do Zoe and Jacob absolutely adore one another, but their families are the kind of people you love to be surrounded by. Zoe and Jacob hired Haley Dean Events & Design to take care of all the details of the day, and she was a rockstar! They also hired Corinna Elise and Elena Rivera to tattoo their willing guests with symbols of their love. Zoe got a ladybug and Jacob got a horseshoe (his very first tattoo,) as symbols of luck.

One of my favorite parts of the day was after the traditional Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dance, Zoe called her Mother to join her on the dance floor for a special dance. She then included her 3 sisters and finally all the Mother/Daughters to join them, on the dance floor. It was honestly one of the sweetest things I have ever seen at a wedding and the tears were flowing freely by everyone in attendance.

Venue: Personally, I would like to thank Morgan and Truman for being not only amazing photographers, but also bag holders, water runners, and best two people I ever have the pleasure of hanging out with! You two are everything!

Also, thank you to all of the amazing vendors, who made this day perfect!

Michaela & Jack | Historic Post Office Hampton Virginia

Leigh Skaggs — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 09:55:33 +0000

Michaela and Jack were married at the Historic Post Office in Hampton Virginia, on the most perfect day! The cherry blossoms were in peak condition, the weather was mild and warm and everyone was ready to have a blast! I loved that they decided to have a first look with private vows. It was such a nice way to kick off the festivities. I loved that one of Michaela’s twin brothers was their officiant. He did a great job and the Ceremony was personal and full of love. And I loved that they danced their first dance to Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.” Congratulations you two! Thanks for choosing me to document such a special day!

XOXO

Thank you to Rhiannon for being a great second shooter. I appreciate your hard work and beautiful images and to all the vendors who made this day perfect for the couple.

A wedding under an EPIC Willow tree next to a corn field in North Carolina….say less!

Carrie and Nick’s wedding at Camden Fields Event Venue in South Mills, North Carolina was the definition of perfection! The weather was cool, the skies were blue and while it threatened to rain we were able to work between the drops to accomplish everything that we needed to. Carrie and Nick’s families are some of the kindest people I have ever met and working for them was such an honor….AND Cooper was the ring bearer so I got more snuggles! Kara with KM Weddings made sure the day ran super smoothly and looked great.

Congratulations Carrie and Nick! Thank you so much for choosing me! It was an absolute pleasure to be able to document this day for you two!

Ashley & Mel | Neon House Wedding Norfolk Virginia

Leigh Skaggs — Tue, 27 May 2025 10:41:31 +0000

What a way to kick off the 2025 Wedding season, with Ashley & Mel’s wedding at the Neon House in Norfolk Virginia. I have known Ashley for many years now and was so thrilled she chose me to document this day full of love and fun, for them! And she wore her signature Chuck Taylors, which made my heart so happy! Mel was quite dapper himself, but also made sure we hit the skull mural, which was his personal favorite!

The way Mel looks at Ashley and the way she looks back made me smile all day long! Ashley and Mel love music (I always love her playlists at work) and the Neon District was a great fit for them. The band was awesome and everyone danced and sang their hearts out! Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of so much love. My heart is FULL for you two!! XOXO!

Special thanks to Morgan for always being the best!

And thank you to all of the vendors who made this day so perfect for these two!

Harleigh is having a BABY! | Brock Environmental center Maternity session

Leigh Skaggs — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 13:43:32 +0000

When I tell you how honored I am to have been able to document and capture peoples lives, I do not exaggerate! I have had the distinct pleasure of watching this young Woman grow up and now she is going to be Mama!! I am pretty sure I even did a Maternity session for her Mother at one point! So to be able to document Harleigh’s baby bump at the Brock Environmental center in Virginia Beach is truly a surreal and beautiful experience. Harleigh is going to be such a great Mom! I cannot wait to see this baby her and Charles are about to bring into this world. Congratulations you two! XOXO!!

Deanna & Kevin | Virginia Beach Maternity Session

Leigh Skaggs — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:33:49 +0000

Deanna & Kevin have literally crammed every stressful thing into the same time period and honestly they are thriving! They are having a baby, Kevin just graduated from nursing school, and they are moving. So clearly these two will easily take to the rigors of parenting. I had the best time pretending it was warm with them on the beach in February! They were troopers and embraced the warm light we were gifted! Congratulations you two! Can’t wait to meet your little man! XOXO!
