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…

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…

Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Angie and Dave | Purple and Blue
Oceanaire Resort Wedding Angie and Dave I love Angie and Dave and can tell you these two have the recipe for a successful and forever marriage. They know how to laugh with each other, romantic and fun. Their wedding at the beautiful Oceanaire Resort seemed like it was going to be a “wash out”. It poured, not rained, poured most of the day. It even rained on us while taking formals (evidence below) and right before the ceremony. However, the rain stopped right before the party was about to start and we rocked the night away. Now, you may think you are seeing double but no, Dave has a twin…

Oceanaire Resort Wedding | Akira and Alton | Tropical Glam Paradise
Oceanaire Resort Wedding Akira and Alton | A Tropical Glam Paradise Akira and Alton’s Oceanaire Resort Wedding was a tropical lover’s dream and if you love bling, you are in heaven. From the palm leaves to the pineapples, the feeling of summer was in the air. You must take a closer look to the little pineapples Akira got for her bouquet. They were the perfect accent to her wedding. Akira and Alton met with a bump. Alton bumped into her not once but twice. They exchanged numbers and had a long distance relationship for a while. I love how Akira acknowledges how tough a long distance relationship can be but…

Hampton Engagement Session | Angie + Dave
Hampton Engagement Session This Hampton Engagement Session brings all the joys. Sometimes love is right around the corner and you never realize it. It could be right in front of your eyes but sometimes we miss it. While working in the same building, an seeing each other around, Angie and Dave never spoke. Perhaps a little “Good morning nod” was exchanged but I don’t think they can’t even recall that. Then, Match.com comes to the rescue, and Angie saw Dave’s profile. A simple, “I know you” is what it took for this opportunity to become reality. She knew OF him, and his accent, but not him personally. After a week…

Oceanaire Wedding | Christine & Earnest | 25 Years of Love
2016 Love can find you today, 25 years from now or 25 years ago. Every love story is beautiful. Every wedding is special. It doesn’t matter how big or small the wedding is, it is a celebration of love and it brings hope and happiness to those involved, including me. Christine and Earnest’s story started 25 years ago. Both single parents then met at their children’s daycare. 25 years have passed and they have gone through ups and downs as all couples should. If you don’t go through ups and downs, how can you be victorious 25 or 50 years later? Christine & Earnest have loved each other and their…

2015 In Review + Some of my favorite moments
2015 is gone! Time goes by so fast. When you think you have it all figure it out and review all accomplished and what was not at the end of the year, it feels like time was standing still all this time. Then, in a blink of an eye is 2016. As I reviewed my work this year I confess to smile, get teary eyed and laugh out loud some times. I had a great time in 2015 and I am hopeful that 2016 will bring me the same type of amazing fun couples and families. I have chosen to show you my favorites moments of 2015. All in random order, so every…

My Favorite 2015 Portraits + My so called 2016 Goals
Did you see my 2015 Best Moments? If not, make sure to check them out HERE. As 2016 comes near I must confess to be slightly afraid. 2015 was really, really good. It feels like a string of good luck that may run out at any time. When I started this journey I wasn’t sure where my goals would be long term. I knew what I wanted to do but not quite how to achieve it. I should confess I still don’t know. In 2015 couples sort of found me. I met the right couples, clicked with them and had a blast at their wedding. Plus I ate a lot of cake and…
