The pandemic was tough. Weddings during the pandemic were WILD… people definitely pivoted and made things happen as best they could. Annie and Neil had planned a big shindig at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond and swapped to a smaller classic Virginia wedding almost a year later at Annie’s parents’ home where I got the tappity tap to be a modern fredericksburg wedding photographer. (I love Fredericksburg.) They tossed most of their plans and focused on planning something timeless and classic, while focusing on having a really great time. With Covid limiting the dance floor situation, Annie and Neil decided to incorporate where they met and had the guests participate in Trivia during the reception. (Who doesn’t love trivia? Ok, well, I guess this is just my way of telling you I really love trivia. And I make a great addition to any trivia team. Just sayin’.)
