Michele and Ron’s Engagement Portrait Session at Sandbridge Beach

It all begins when family and friends open the envelope and first see those three little words…‘Save the Date’.

From that point forward, they all become part of an emotional and exciting journey that concludes with the marriage of two very special people.

We chose Little Island Park and Fishing Pier at Sandbridge Beach in Virginia Beach for Michele and Ron’s engagement portrait session. The beach, the light and the water were all perfect…

Heather’s Bridal Portrait Session at Sunrise at Sandbridge Beach

It has been my experience as a professional wedding photographer that most brides already know exactly what they want by the time they begin to plan their wedding…and Heather was no exception. Because she planned to be married at Sandbridge Beach, it was important for Heather to have her bridal portrait photographed there as well.

At sunrise.

Not a problem…except that Heather lives in Richmond. So, take a minute and think through…

Courtney’s Bridal Portrait Session at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia

Courtney was excited with the decision to photograph her bridal portrait at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia Beach…and so was I! Take a stunning bride like Courtney, add an absolutely beautiful wedding dress, then combine them with the rich palette of light, shapes and textures at the Contemporary Art Center and the opportunities for great images are almost limitless. I really enjoyed working with Courtney on both a personal and…

Danielle and Aaron’s Wedding in Virginia Beach

As a wedding photographer, it is both refreshing and rewarding to work with a bride who knows exactly what she wants. From the day we first met, Danielle had a clear vision for her wedding portrait with Aaron…she dreamed of a dramatic nighttime portrait photographed outdoors immediately following their wedding ceremony at NAS Oceana. We visited many unique locations before the wedding day to find the perfect one to fulfill Danielle’s dream. Some…

Ashley and Jared’s Destination Wedding in Virginia Beach

It is easy to understand why any couple would want to get married in beautiful Virginia Beach and I have had the pleasure of photographing numerous destination weddings here. Because of the travel often required for family and friends to attend, some have been more intimate ceremonies with smaller groups in attendance. However, that was certainly not the case with Ashley and Jared’s destination wedding! With both families traveling from New York…

Ashley and Jared’s Engagement Portrait Session on the beach in Virginia Beach

This is a classic story of two people finding true love in the last place either of them might have expected.

Ashley and Jared started dating while they were in Virginia Beach and soon fell in love. Because of that personal connection with Virginia Beach, it was an easy decision for them to return…

Ashley and Michael’s Outdoor Wedding in Virginia Beach

Like many brides and grooms, Ashley and Michael started early and spent a lot of time planning the details of their wedding. Because there are so many things that can easily distract the bride or the groom on their wedding day, it was certainly time well spent. So when that special day did finally arrive, Ashley and Michael’s outdoor wedding celebration was absolutely perfect! I mention this because I cannot recall working with a bride and groom so…

Ashley Evans - Thank you so much for the life time memories :)

Karen and Steve’s Engagement Portrait Session at First Landing State Park

Someone knows someone, who knows someone else, who knows someone else who knows someone…well, you get the idea. The term is ‘six degrees of separation‘ and it was just such a client referral that brought Karen and Steve together with Oak Moon Photography to capture their incredible engagement portrait images. Knowing that Karen and Steve enjoy the beach, I recommended First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach. We met late on…
