Destinee and David’s Wedding at Grand Affairs in Virginia Beach

There are two unstoppable forces in the universe that march exclusively to the beat of their own drummer…one is true love between a man and a woman and the other is the military. Destinee and David were obviously in love with each other and it was destined to be only a matter of time before they would be married. However, when it became clear that Destinee would be reporting for duty in southern California in January, these two unstoppable forces quickly combined to produce an absolutely beautiful wedding celebration.

After working with Destinee initially to reserve the date for the wedding, she asked me to…

Jenna and Ralph’s Holiday Wedding in Virginia Beach

The Christmas trees in the Dominion Christian Center in Virginia Beach provided a seasonal backdrop for Jenna and Ralph’s December wedding. It was exciting to photograph a beautiful winter wedding combined with a taste of holiday tradition.

It has been my experience as a wedding photographer that almost anything can happen on the day of the wedding. Whether something truly silly or something a little more serious, the wedding day will be just that much more special if the bride and groom are able to keep these kinds of distractions in perspective. Yes, Jenna and Ralph’s wedding ceremony started…

Leah and Brandon’s Wedding in Portsmouth

One of the extraordinary benefits of being a wedding photographer is that I have the privilege of working intimately with so many genuinely great couples, and all this begins with the engagement portrait. It is during the engagement session that the bride and groom first learn they can truly trust me to capture the most important day in their new lives. It is also during this time that I begin to learn more about the essence of both the bride and the groom and how best to photograph that special day for each of them.

I am reminded of this because that is the relationship I enjoy with Leah and Brandon. What…

Carrie and Brian’s Wedding and Portrait Booth at the historic Wilton House Museum in Richmond

As soon as Carrie described the venue she and Brian had chosen for their wedding, I just knew it would be a wedding photographers dream. Well, it was all that and so much more! The historic Wilton House Museum in Richmond was built in 1753 true to the Colonial American style of the period. Situated with a commanding view of the James River, it provided a truly majestic backdrop for Carrie and Brian’s wedding ceremony.

The wedding was literally packed with family and friends (and the entire soccer team) because to know Carrie and Brian is to love them. To capture those special memories, we setup…

Chasity and Jason’s Beach Wedding at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel on the Chesapeake Bay

Destination weddings are always very special events and Chasity and Jason’s was certainly no exception. Living and working in the Washington DC area, they were both excited about exchanging wedding vows on the beach at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel. The weather was perfect on their wedding day with bright sunshine and not a rain cloud in the sky as the bride and groom were married on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in front of their family and friends.

I absolutely love the picture with all the bubbles from the bubble machine swirling around…

Amanda and Jared’s Wedding at St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Virginia Beach

I could hardly wait to photograph Amanda and Jared’s wedding. From the time the bride and groom arrived at St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Virginia Beach, it was obvious they had an energy and excitement that would set the tone for the entire wedding ceremony. Amanda was beautiful, poised and she had a smile she could not get off her face. Jared was confident, relaxed and…well, just being Jared. They were both clearly excited about getting married.

It is so much fun to see how happy Amanda and Jared were at their wedding as I look…
