I think the best way to describe Barclay’s senior portraits is by looking at her senior pictures.  She is so much fun.  She is a tennis player and unicycle rider and more!  We had the opportunity to photograph her at our studio, with vintage trains, vintage planes and on board a battleship, just to name a few spots and with our Dog, Hugo.

Ally | Senior Model Team 2013 | Virginia Senior Portrait Photographer

Meet Ally, one of our 2013 Senior Model Team.  Being a part of The Senior Experience’s gives you quite the experience for amazing senior portraits. We love being able to capture who our high school seniors are through their senior portraits.  With Ally, she is a hip hop dancer.  Instead of doing the traditional dance poses, we took a trip to the downtown area where we did some urban hip hop portraits.  Shooting them in an environmental portrait fashion helped bring who she is to life.   We had the opportunity to photograph her downtown, at our studio, with vintage trains, vintage planes and on board a battleship, just to name a few locations. Here’s Ally

Jimmy & Devon | Colonial Williamsburg | Williamsburg Lodge Wedding

The Williamsburg Lodge provided a beautiful backdrop for Jimmy & Devon’s wedding and the weather gods shined down upon us with a beautiful day, perfect for an outdoor wedding.  Quite a difference from their engagement shoot so they were owed a nice day and we weren’t disappointed!  It was a joy to photograph their wedding day especially since their wedding was complete with rose petals flying and I must say, some rather good dancing – of course it makes my job real easy with Devon’s hand made dress.  Congratulations guys & enjoy the pics!

Mark & Meghan | Half Moone Wedding

Mark & Meghan did it with style at Half Moone in downtown Norfolk.  Their wedding went off like clockwork thanks to the folks at Antonia Christianson Events who also had the room looking amazing with a little help from Blue Steel Lighting.  Six Stylez had some grooving sounds echoing around the reception.  The cake smelled as good as it looked therefore it must be from Emily Patti at Patti Cakes of course!  Oh yeah, can’t forget the dress from Pure English Bridal – stunning as always.  Don’t forget to check out the beautiful decor and flowers by Isha Foss.  We wish Mark & Meghan the best and it is certainly of to a great start!  

Winnie and Mike| Bruton Parish Wedding| Williamsburg Inn Photographer

I’d say they look rather smashing. Don’t you think?  Just a little bit of history courtesy of Bruton Parish and the Williamsburg Inn with a dash of flair from the fabulous “Janitors” Band and the totally sweet (literally) cakes from Cakes By Charlie.  What I would do if I were you is just kick off your shoes and watch this slideshow.  It will make you day just that much better. Really.

Wedding Aftershoot | Brooke and Peter | Charleston WV Capital | Destination Wedding Photographers

What do you get when you have 2 beautiful people, they get all dressed up in the wedding attire and they choose an amazing location for their aftershoot?….you get this… Brooke and Peter wanted to go over and beyond just beautiful wedding portraits.  They wanted the chance to put back on their wedding dress and suit and Brooke wanted the chance to have her hair and make up done.  After all of that, we spent a couple of amazing hours touring and photography them on location at the Charleston, WV Capital. With all the marble, columns and the amazing dome ceiling it truly sets the background for amazing photography. Have a look at a beautiful on location aftershoot with Brooke and Peter.          

Senior Portraits | Tatiana | Virginia Senior Portrait Artist

Bridal Portraits at the Homestead | Mary | Destination Wedding Photographer

Ah…what can I say…The Homestead. Does luxury and relaxation get any better then there?  A beautiful setting with a beautiful view, with natural springs and, well, you name it and they have it. We had the amazing pleasure of shooting Mary’s bridal session and her wedding at the Homstead. Shooting Mary at the Homestead is like stepping back in time. Here’s a glimpse into Mary’s Bridal and the Homestead Experience.      

Tidewater Landmarks | Virginia Commercial Photographer | Virginia Landscape Photographer

I got a chance to go back to my roots.  Before shooting people for a living, my love for photography came from shooting landscapes.  We recently were hired by a company to shoot various locations that make Hampton Roads, Hampton Roads.  What are the landmarks that we attribute to this area?  Some of them are the Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, the fishing boats, the clipper ships, the Hampton Coliseum, the Hampton Convention center, the Norfolk skyline, the Wisconsin Battleship, the Lion’s Gate Bridge in Newport News and more.  Well here are just a few…

Senior Portraits | Lucas | Virginia Senior Portrait Artist

Ahhh….Lucas….a senior boy for senior portraits.  We just love that.  Since we have 2 boys of our own, we just love it when the guys come in for their senior session.  Lucas is a skater and a current senior and will be graduating in June.  With Lucas and his vibe, we thought it would be cool to capture him in an urban setting. Lucas has a sister named Haley, which you will see here.  We did her senior pictures in 2010.  We just love it when families return to us! Check out Lucas and all his coolness….
