Shifting Sands Rainy Wedding | Kaitlyn & Joe
No weather could stop the Livermans from saying I do at Shifting Sands. What makes a Shifting Sands Rainy Wedding? Well, crazy weather with torrential rain and an unexpected tornado warning. That didn’t tamper Kaitlyn and Joe’s wedding at all, though. What could have been a major timeline disaster ended up being a magical and surreal night of dancing and celebrating love. Unfortunately, due to the weather, their desire to have a beach wedding was not possible. All was not lost as we got a break in the weather and were able to do formals and some couple’s portraits by the beach side. They rocked the little time we…

Red Wing Park Elopement | Kaylen & Jerel
Kaylen and Jerel This Red Wing Park Elopement stole my heart. I am increasingly doing more and more Elopements and I can tell you, I am enjoying them so much! Kaylen and Jerel were such a great, sweet couple to spend some time with. Not only are they gorgeous people but they are caring, open and surrounded by the love of people from close and far. They had a quiet ceremony and reception in home. After the ceremony, we went out for some Red Wing Park Elopement beautiful images. Kaylen and Jerel were hoping for some tall trees and foliage coverage and the Red Wing Park has just that. I,…

Lesner Bridge Engagement | Yvette & Chris
I always find interesting to learn how my couples met. Sometimes I have High School sweethearts while other times, I have strangers to happened to meet. From apps to online dating, the gap between people has gotten smaller and smaller. There is no longer the need to wonder if your soul mate is indeed on the other side of the world. Because I am sure you enjoy crazy stories as much as I do, let me tell you how Yvette and Chris met. How they met: Facebook. Yep, and in the most random kind of way. There were in a Church Facebook Group as strangers. So one day, Chris wrote…

Lesner Inn Sunset Wedding | Courtney & Anthony
Courtney and Anthony are just a blast. They are funny, committed and full of good vibes. As a couple who have known each other for a long time, you can appreciate their love even from a distance. From Courtney’s statement makeup to Anthony’s stylish suit, I was hooked on their style. Their bridal party, equally incredible, filled the air with excitement for two people who found each other and love unconditionally. A type of love you could feel at all times. Weddings to me are not work, they are my little escape. I get to meet people from all over the world, hundreds of faces, at once. I get to…

Christ & St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Wedding | Erica & Edward
An elegant wedding at Christ & St. Luke’s Episcopal wedding followed by an equal vibe at Town Point Club. Erica & Edward The thing I love the most about Hampton Roads and it’s weddings is the amount of perfect places to have a wedding. Even after six years in business, I am always getting invited to new places. Having a Christ & St. Luke’s Episcopal Wedding and a Town Point Club Wedding on the same day, was a treat! This time, I got to document Erica and Edward’s elegant wedding at the Christ & St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. This church is absolutely gorgeous with so much details and history. The…

Hilton Oceanfront Wedding | Johana and Andrew
Hilton Oceanfront Wedding Johana and Andrew Prepare your soul for this Hilton Oceanfront Wedding. Some take awhile to find their soul mate, while others feel like they’ll will never find one. We shape our careers, our lives and our friendships without a person to experience it all. Some continue on looking while others, tired of the silliness of dating and love, give up. Johana and Andrew stopped looking but it took rain to bring them together. It is interested how it rained on their wedding day too. It didn’t rain a little, it rained like Hurricane Florence was coming, even when it was the weekend before its arrival. Due to…

Oceanaire Wedding | Ingrid and Juan
Oceanaire Wedding Ingrid and Juan Ingrid and Juan’s Oceanaire wedding was a blast. Their family and friends from near and afar came to celebrate what was meant to be. Engaged in 2017 during the Solar Eclipse, they made their theme ocean inspired. Both work closely with the ocean’s beauty and therefore wanted to incorporate it in their day. Although, it did rain on us (what’s up with this Hampton Roads’ weather?!), the amazing crew at the Oceanaire and Veronica, from Day of by Veronica, moved everything indoors as family and friends partied the night on. When I say they partied, I mean it! Team: Ceremony and Reception: Oceanaire Resort Hair by Sarah…

Traditions Catering Wedding | Dee & Jamal
Traditions Catering Wedding Dee & Jamal This Traditions Catering Wedding was not only a celebration of love but of family, friends and those who Dee and Jamal hold dear. When Dee and I met she told me I would not be bored, not even one bit because they were energetic and knew how to have a blast. She wasn’t lying. Their wedding was all the dreams a photographer like me could dream of. With Dee’s incredible artisan talent, she prepared every single one of her wedding decorations, while holding a full time job AND having an equally energetic daughter to raise with Jamal. She is fearless and matches Jamal outgoing,…

Shifting Sands Beach Wedding | Claire and Neil
Shifting Sands Beach Wedding Claire and Neil Oh, this Shifting Sands Beach wedding comes with a story. Let’s start by saying that there is love and then there is love at first baby bump and I don’t mean my couple! Claire and Neil met during a mutual friend’s baby shower. You know, your usual “Find your soul mate” kind of event. After the shower, they spent 8 hours talking and walking on the beach. It was mean to be. I happen to know Claire because she was the Best maid of my 2014 Bride, Kayla, who today in 2018 is part of Claire’s tribe. I am surrounded by incredible people…

Intimate First Landing Wedding | Tereza and Ivan
Intimate First Landing Wedding Tereza and Ivan There is relaxed weddings and there is Tereza and Ivan’s wedding. As soon as I arrived to their room, I felt the atmosphere. They were getting ready in the same room, their two beautiful children were playing around, and Popsicles were offered. I mean, what else can I ask for? Their wedding was full of color, all the Purple, Pinks and Fuchsia you can dream of. It looked perfectly with the beach scene and the waterfront from the Lesner Inn. Tereza met Ivan seven years ago while working. She cut his hair and from there struck romance. From El Salvador and Honduras…

Munden Point Park Engagement | Kaitlyn and Joe
Munden Point Park Engagement Kaitlyn and Joe This Munden Point Park Engagement is all about Microbiology and what a romantic subject is. Love is everywhere, just like microbiology! Ok, I am kidding. It is about Kaitlyn and Joe who met in Microbiology class. They study buddy together and after that first test, they had their first date. You can say that love is “bios”. Yes, I may indeed pun my way into this blog post and I have no shame. By the way, “bios” means life. *Insert smart smile here* Since then, they’ve watched the sunset on a Washington DC rooftop, have been each other’s career and life supporters and…

Summer Virginia Aquarium Wedding | Andrew and Krister
Summer Virginia Aquarium Wedding Andrew and Krister This Summer Virginia Aquarium Wedding will make you smile from ear to ear. I cannot believe I did not blog this wedding on July of last year. I know it was a crazy year but this is one of my favorite weddings from 2017, so I don’t know what in the world happened there. Thankfully, to celebrate the upcoming anniversary of Andrew and Krister, I present you their blog! Late but that doesn’t mean it won’t be good. Andrew and Krister are seriously amazing people. They are borderline geniuses, if not certified. I didn’t ask for a government seal of genius but I…

Fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Heather and Ryan
Super Fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding Heather and Ryan There is no dull wedding at the Oceanaire. In fact, every single wedding has being a fun Oceanaire Resort Wedding. Take it, it could be that I get to photograph their most fun couples. When I think about my ideal couple, I think about couples like Heather and Ryan. They are fun, magnets for each other, loving people who love their tribe, prepared and ready to have the time of their lives on their wedding day. When I ask a couple how they’d describe themselves and they reply “a hot mess”, I know I found my couple. It is said…

Norfolk Freemason Engagement | Cassandra and Seth
Norfolk Freemason Engagement Cassandra and Seth Cassandra and Seth decided to have their Norfolk Freemason Engagement close their Ghent home, and I couldn’t have been more happier! The cobblestone streets in Downtown Norfolk are one of my favorites to photograph. You always find little spots of greatness in between the beautiful architecture. As a couple who loves to ride bikes and walk their cutest puppy, Rudy, around Ghent, it just made sense. Cassandra and Seth met in 2015 thanks to Tinder and after a nice first date at No Frill Bar & Grill in Ghent they hit it off. By the end of last year, Seth made if official by taking…
