There’s something undeniably magical about summer at The Estate at River Run. With the flowers in full bloom, golden sunlight filtering through the trees, and views overlooking the James River, it’s no wonder couples like Jeroline and Anton choose this venue as the backdrop for their most memorable moments.

Jeroline and Anton began their engagement session in the Woodhaven Billiard Lounge. The deep wood paneling and rich textures of the space created an intimate and dramatic atmosphere. Dressed in bold red, the couple’s first set of portraits was striking, with shadowed lighting giving the photos a cinematic edge.

After their first round of portraits, they slipped into a second look that embraced the bright summer ambiance. With Jeroline’s stunning silver, flower-inspired engagement ring catching the light, the couple wandered along the Pool House pathway, their chemistry captured in every frame.

The final chapter of their session took place on the brick terrace after a third outfit change, where Jeroline and Anton posed together as the sun dipped low in the sky. The combination of natural light, historic architecture, and sweeping views made for breathtaking golden hour portraits.

With the luxurious interiors, dramatic staircases, lush gardens, and panoramic river views on display, Jeroline and Anton’s session is a beautiful example of how The Estate at River Run isn’t just a venue, but a dream backdrop for any occasion. It is where moments become memories and every photo feels like a work of art.
