Reflection Garden Romance: Kathryn & RJ’s Norfolk Botanical Garden Wedding

A Garden Ceremony to Remember

Kathryn and RJ’s wedding took place in the serene Reflection Garden at Norfolk Botanical Garden. With water views, lush greenery, and flowering trees all around, the scene was like something out of a fairytale. Their ceremony was heartfelt and serene, filled with joyful tears, tender vows, and support from their closest friends and family.

Portraits Among the Flowers

Following the ceremony, we wandered through the garden’s winding paths for couple portraits. The lighting was soft and romantic, perfect for capturing their natural chemistry. RJ kept Kathryn smiling the entire time—something we love to see in our couples. The landscape gave us a wide variety of textures and colors to play with, from reflective water features to ivy-covered walls.

A Quiet, Elegant Celebration

The overall vibe of the day was peaceful, romantic, and full of sincerity. Kathryn and RJ focused on the moments that mattered—connection, family, and celebrating the beginning of a new chapter. Every part of this Norfolk Botanical Garden wedding felt personal and purposeful, making it a joy to document.
