Elegant Downtown Richmond Engagement Session at VMFA

If you know anything about me you already know I am a huge lover of historical architecture and will take any opportunity to explore any type of space encouraging a deeper love of art. Which is what made Downtown Richmond a top pick for this Downtown Richmond Engagement Session at VMFA! While the photos speak for themselves, there’s something truly special about an engagement session set against the backdrop of Richmond’s vibrant downtown building style, and to top it off the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) offers the perfect blend of elegance and artistic charm. 

Why the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for Your Session? 

While photos inside the interior of the museum are no longer allowed for couples hosting their wedding at venues other than the VMFA it is still one of the most stunning and versatile options to make magical photos during your engagement session. With its stunning architecture, serene sculpture garden, and sophisticated atmosphere, VMFA provided the ideal setting for a high scale, intentional, and romantic style of session. Even better, the classy style of building is perfect for the winter or slower floral seasons where greenery may be a touch lackluster. 

What is the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts? 

As I mentioned I am a touch of a history and art enthusiast, so the best part of sessions in this location is the ability to show up early and check out the exhibits! Open every day of the week and with free admission to boot, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) is one of the premier art museums in the United States, known for its world-class collections and stunning architecture. According to the interweb and my time inside the museum the doors first opened in 1936, making it one of the first state-supported art museums in the country. Over the years, VMFA has expanded significantly, with major renovations and additions, including the stunning McGlothlin Wing, which opened in 2010 and also offering a rotating presentation of extravagant florals through the varying seasons!
