Bat Mitzvah Norfolk – Gabi!
An evening in Candy Land! Gabi’s Bat Mitzvah was like none other as her guests were transported to a world created by the amazing Isha Foss and organized by the equally talented Pearl Taylor. Huge candy canes, life-sized gingerbread men, and ice cream cones fit for a giant filled the Ohef Sholom Temple. The whole sweet & 1950’s theme fit Gabi well since she is just that – sweet & hip! She re-wrote the Bat Mitzvah book on this one. Score: Gabi 1 vs. Everyone Else 0! We are including images from her pre-shoot as well as the ceremony & of course her off-the-hook party! Enjoy!
Wedding Virginia Beach Convention Center – Bryan & Charlene
The Virginia Beach Convention Center played host to a wedding and reception put on by the world-famous Bryan & Charlene. The Fuzz Band was in full effect with their cool tunes and Daevid’s Bridal Floral and Isha Foss Events made the Convention Center simply spectacular! It’s always great when a groom gets into the photography and Bryan certainly was along with Charlene who sported two dresses for the evening. You guys are a class act – congrats to you both! Here’s a few of my Favorites:
Norfolk Marriott Wedding – Mike and Melanie!
Mike and Melanie. Here’s all you need to know: They can dance. They look rather awesome. They dig the whole photography thing. We <3 them lots. Well if you must know the boring stuff….they were married last week and the reception was at the Norfolk Marriott. Arch Entertainment rocked the dance floor. Simply Perfect Events made sure the whole day went smooth. Crazy off-the-hook flowers were provided by the always hip Bella Flora. Visionary Productions was buzzing around busy as a bee documenting the day too. And of course, we took some cool pictures along the way!
The Signature Golf Course, Virginia Beach Wedding Slideshow – Sara & Eric
Just when you think it can’t get any better we get to photograph one of “those” weddings where the bar is raised just a notch higher. Sara and Eric’s nuptial bliss took place at the Signature Golf Course in Virginia Beach where the skies were picture perfect and the tunes carried across the greens & fairways announcing this most fab couple’s entrance into the married life! Eric did a break dance number for his new wife while Sara serenaded him in song – ahhh young love…. Here’s just a peek into their evening complete with a few photobooth shots! You go guys!
Newport News Wedding Slideshow – Andrew & Emily

Chesapeake/Norfolk Marriott Wedding – Josh and Marjorie!

Chrysler Museum Wedding – Leo and Anastasia
The food just kept coming and the dancing was non-stop! If this is what having a Russian wedding is like than I am defecting… They do know how to throw a party! Leo and Anastasia took over the Chrysler Museum and made it their own for a few hours last week. They danced across Huber Court while their guests feasted on some authentic Russian cuisine put together by Cuisine & Company. We wish them the best and look forward to hearing amazing things about their new life together! Here’s a few shots as we strolled around Botanical Gardens and spent the evening at the always fabulous Chrysler Museum:
Wedding at Norfolk Yacht Club – Nathan & Ashley
Some people find meaning in their job. Some in their kids. Nathan & Ashley found it in each other. They don’t need a wedding for it to show….they just ooze love & happiness. Their wedding was at First Presbyterian Church in Norfolk which just looked stunning with the cathedral ceilings and stained glass. The Norfolk Yacht Club is where the fun began with amazing food, music & dancing. It was a joy to spend the day with everyone! Congrats Nathan & Ashley!

Concert Shoot at The Norva – Audiostrobelight & Kaboom Box
Something new and different for a Friday post! We don’t do many concert shoots but I must say it is a bucket load of fun to do! We got some shots of Audiostrobelight and Kaboom Box doing their thing along with Stage Right Lighting lighting up The Norva. Concert shoots are a whole different animal with a ton of energy and constantly changing lighting conditions. It can be a challenge capturing the energy and music through the camera but I think we were able to . Here’s a taste of the evening at The Norva!
Wedding Slideshow – Long Island, New York – Ryan & Xavia
Ryan & Xavia have got the whole love thing down – and it shows. A wedding at the amazing Chateau Briand on Long Island provided the perfect showcase for their most perfect day. We also worked in a 3am trip to Times Square where we basically had the whole place to ourselves! After spending all day and into the next with them they didn’t miss a beat. They’re not just talking the talk. They’re walking the walk. They’ve got love and it’s bigger than the Big Apple.
Welcome to the New Hayne Photographers Blog!
There comes a time in everyone’s life when a new blog must be created. That’s somewhere in the writings of Thomas Jefferson I am sure. Well, that time has come for us as we seek to explore strange new worlds…but I digress. We have finally accepted the fact that our images deserve a much nicer venue to shine and we have decided to take the road less traveled….but I digress again. Our blog comes to us courtesy of Flosites who turned the whole blog idea on it’s head by introducing a horizontal scrolling layout much like an iPhone. So, four score and seven months ago our fore-fathers…er, our old blog set out to showcase our work in a new fashion but alas, has quickly become dated. We hope you enjoy the new layout and enjoy it with your friends because after all, it takes a village. Go ahead jump in and drop us a note if you stumble on an error as we are still populating it with images that will blow your socks clean off….and that can actually be a good thing. So what is this blog all about? It just depends on what the meaning of the word “is”, is. Explore it for yourself and embrace all that is Hayne Photographers Blog.
The Booth! Sara & Eric’s Wedding
A little known fact – Our booth makes the coolest things happen and we get to take pictures of the whole thing! Sara & Eric gave their guests the time of their lives at their wedding with amazing food, dancing and of course the photo booth. It’s always a blast to bring the booth to any event but Sara & Eric’s wedding provided us with the most amazing personalities and we got it all on camera! Here’s a few of our favorite shots from this most “Wonderful Night”.
Wedding at the Signature at West Neck – Sara & Eric
A group of sharp looking guys meet up with a flock of beautiful women. I took some shots. The craziest thing happened! Sara & Eric got married and we got some really cool pictures! This all took place at the fabulous Signature Golf Course at West Neck. The guests sat in the gentle breeze underneath the enormous gazebo along the river to watch Sara & Eric enter into wedded bliss….. It’s so cool to see people that we have photographed before too – just an added bonus on top of the most perfect day. All of our weddings are cool but this one just oozed with slick sophistication with a touch of excitement. Here’s just a taste of the day:
