There’s something about spring at The Estate at River Run that makes everything feel a little more magical—and Abigail and Josh’s April celebration was no exception. From the moment they arrived, the day unfolded with quiet joy and timeless beauty, filled with intentional moments and effortless style.

Abigail began her day in the Estate’s iconic pink marble bathroom, surrounded by soft light and her closest people. Every detail—her gown, her accessories, her calm smile—reflected her elegant, understated style. Just across the property, Josh got ready in the poolside suite, where the atmosphere was relaxed and full of anticipation.

The two shared sweet, candid moments throughout the day as they explored the estate grounds together. They walked hand-in-hand through the gardens, paused in the grand interior spaces, and embraced the peaceful views overlooking the James River. Each location brought a new layer of romance and intimacy, with the Estate’s stunning architecture and warm light creating the perfect atmosphere.

There was a beautiful simplicity to the way they moved through the day—laughing easily, holding each other close, and taking in the quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed. From the marble staircases to the open-air terraces, Abigail and Josh’s wedding day at The Estate at River Run captured what makes love stories feel deeply personal and unforgettable.
