Holiday Inn North Beach Wedding 2014 A Ceremony to remember at this Holiday Inn North Beach Wedding. Graziela & Jonathan’s ceremony is one of those ceremonies you cry, laugh and get to know the couple in their new journey. They had traditions meaningful to them and prepared the day around the joy and love for each other. Their first dance was superb as they danced to More than a Woman by Bee Gees… really! They made their day about their families, who some traveled from as far as Brazil, to their closest friends. Their goal was to dance the night away and so they did. I loved documenting their day.…

Alecia + Codie: A The Attic Waterman’s Wedding in Virginia Beach
2014 Alecia & Codie finally got to celebrate! With a beautiful ceremony at their Church and a great party at Waterman’s Grille in Virginia Beach, they exchanged their vows and promised to care and raise their son together. Alecia’s dress surprised me. Its beautiful lace was stunning! Codie looked sharp. They had scheduled a great time to do their couple’s portraits and all I can say is “wow!”. The last image of this blog post is definitely my favorite. Night dust never looked so good.

Norfolk Botanical Garden Wedding | Kimberly + Brett
2014 Kimberly and Brett’s Norfolk Botanical Garden Wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was HOT but then again so is them. Brett is a gentleman and when he interacts with Kimberly. It is like watching two lovers from the 50s. Polite, sweet and old-fashioned love. When I asked Kimberly how they would describe themselves as a couple, she wrote, “Loving, caring, fun, & respectful”. I couldn’t agree more. You could see their love and care as they walked together. They are also quite creative as their centerpieces were DIY. Kim’s grandmother’s 80 years birthday was the same day so of course, they surprised her with her own cake and everybody sang…

Emily + Mike: A Lesner Inn Wedding
2014 Emily & Mike make it look like nobody else is around when they are together. Their love unites a great family. There is no gap when these two are around. They are truly in-sync with each other. Now hot does not begin to describe how the weather was on their wedding day! The weather was insane but who cares when you are getting married right? Their decorations were so beautiful and a perfect theme for the waterfront view. I was a little obsessed with the flower on Emily’s hair so don’t be surprised to see it over and over again. Enjoy! Venue: Lesner Inn Wedding Coordinator: Mary from Starfish Weddings and…

Veronica + Johnny | A Planter’s Club Wedding in Suffolk, VA
2014 When I met Veronica last year I could tell she knew what she wanted. She is a cowgirl for sure. Family from Texas and abroad would come to celebrate with her as she has found her true love. A Colombian gentleman, Johnny. A funny and cool guy who got all teary-eyed when he saw her for the first time as she entered the Church. I’ve done Catholic services before but Veronica & Johnny went very Mexican/Colombian traditional. They had the arras, a beautiful rosary lasso, and full family communion. It was beautiful to witness. After Church, we head out to the Planter’s Club in Suffolk. Seriously awesome place with…

Cynthia + Renato: Engaged: First Landing Park Engagement Photographer
2014 Boy am I behind this week! I have been blessed for sure. A lot of work between weddings, engagement sessions, maternity sessions, and baby sessions! It’s been interesting trying to find the balance between making it work and not going insane. However, how could I become insane with all these clients’ awesomeness? Here I present to you, Cynthia and Renato. They are having a Texas Wedding next year close to their families and friends. Cynthia brought a lot of props! All worthy of some of Pinterest’s crazy pinning. They are fun and cute together. He’s a pilot, she is a cutie (sorry Renato, you are a cutie too). Together…
