Enchanting Styled Shoot at Dover Hall Castle Exudes Timeless Elegance

Featuring charming, regal details and the enchanting Dover Hall Castle, this elegant and timeless-styled shoot in Virginia is sure to inspire a dreamy and intimate celebration.

Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Virginia, beside a serene patch of woods, the enchanting Dover Hall Castle is the perfect wedding venue for a romantic and regal soiree. For this styled shoot Frank Pitchford of Soho Photos was inspired by the venue’s beautiful architecture and the stunning surroundings of Manakin-Sabot, Virginia.

Pitchford meticulously curated every detail to ensure the attire, decor, and venue complimented one another perfectly. The elegant decor and locally sourced florals were designed to reflect the surrounding natural beauty, while the bride and groom’s attire was selected to compliment the castle’s grandeur. To add emotional depth, the models were chosen not only for their elegance but for their genuine connection and the effortless chemistry they brought to the shoot.
