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…

Jenna’s Bridal Session at The Town Center of Virginia Beach

I am thrilled that Jenna is now married so I can share some of the photographs from her bridal session with you. We chose The Town Center of Virginia Beach as the location for the photo shoot and Jenna was so excited.

As a wedding photographer, it was so much fun to work with Jenna. She was also a real trooper when the temperature decided to make a run toward the lower end of the thermometer on the day of her bridal session. Needless to say, Jenna showed up right on schedule looking absolutely stunning. You would never know by looking at these pictures that she spent…

Vivian’s Bridal Session in the Oak Moon Photography studio in Virginia Beach

As a wedding photographer, sometimes the weather can be your best friend and sometimes…well, not so much. We had already rescheduled Vivian’s bridal portrait two times because of inclement weather when we heard the latest forecast…more rain. So, I suggested we photograph her bridal session in my studio and she instantly agreed. Vivian is a natural in front of the camera and her pictures show it.

All my brides are amazingly beautiful and Vivian definitely fits into that category. Her sister is a Mary Kay consultant and was also in my studio that day to do Vivian’s hair and make-up…

Leah and Brandon’s Engagement Session on the beach in Virginia Beach

Many people enjoy the beach, but there was never any question about where Leah and Brandon wanted to photograph their engagement portrait. We met late in the afternoon after a brief rain shower at a beautiful section of beach near Fort Story. The next hour and a half was an engagement photographers dream as I asked Leah and Brandon to just be themselves. I simply stayed out of the way and captured some incredible photos on the beach.

OK, I am going to say it. Of all the engagement portraits I have photographed, this one is my favorite. It is so easy to see why Leah and Brandon make such a great couple when I look…

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…
