Wedding Town Point Club Norfolk – Tonya & Corey | Hayne Photographers

Tonya & Corey rolled out the red carpet for their wedding day complete with Bentleys, a live band, a bridal suite overlooking the Atlantic and a dress to die for!  We were thrilled to be invited to photograph their wedding day.  We have never seen the Town Point Club dressed to the “T’s” like it was for their reception – simply breath taking thanks to the team at Graceful Designs.  A brief downpour didn’t put a damper on their day as the wedding guests overlooked Waterside as the wind and rain swept by to reveal a starlit evening.  We wish Tonya & Corey the best as they kick-off the crazy world of marriage!

Hotel Roanoke Wedding Sarah & Aaron | Hayne Photographers Wedding Photography

A road trip to Roanoke was in order for Sarah & Aaron’s wedding at the Hotel Roanoke. The Hotel Roanoke was just oozing with history and nostalgia. We had such an awesome time as we met Sarah & Aaron’s family and even met up with our past bride & groom, Kate & Allen. The clouds were ominous as the ceremony approached so we had to move inside but even that did not dampen the excitement that was electric throughout the day! Hotel Roanoke has never looked better from top to bottom thanks to Corsair events. See for yourselves –

Wedding Signature at West Neck – Jeff & Jordan | Wedding Photography

Jeff & Jordan put their swagger on a few weeks ago and hit a hole in one with their wedding at The Signature at West Neck.  It was one of those weddings where the breeze blew just enough to make Jordan’s veil gently wave but not enough to blow out their unity candles.  There was just enough clouds to make the sky gorgeous but not enough to make it look gloomy.  The birds tweeted just enough to sound pretty but not loud enough to be obnoxious.  The temperature was just warm enough to make us cozy but not enough to make us sweat.  Get the picture?  It was one of “those” days.  In fact we made this nifty slideshow so you could also bask in the “just-rightness” of Jeff & Jordan’s wedding day.  Enjoy!

Westin Virginia Beach Wedding – Jamie & Jennifer | Wedding Photography

Jamie & Jennifer were married just a few short weeks ago and the world is perfect now. You just thought your the world was complete…now it is for sure. We had a blast as we photographed them all day around Town Center in Virginia Beach and inside the Westin. The Westin Looked amazing thanks to Blue Steel Lighting and Weddings by Michelle made sure that the whole day went off like clock work. It was a joy to work with this team and I hope it shows through the photography! Congratulations J&J!

Wedding Virginia Beach – Bruce & Laura | Destination Wedding Photographer

We joined Bruce and Laura on their wedding day and the day could not have been more magnificent!  We arrived at Haygood United Methodist where Laura was busy with her hair and make-up and Bruce was doing the groom thing – cutting up with the guys. We saw the dress on the hanger and it looked great without Laura in it we couldn’t wait to see her in it!  We were not disappointed – All the Rage hit a home run again with this one!  Turpins dropped off the flowers as guests began to arrive.  With a few moments before the ceremony we were able to spend a few minutes with Laura for a few shots before she was hustled away to her awaiting Dad.  The ceremony went off without a hitch and after a few shots with the family and the NEW hot couple we were off to the quaint little chapel then to  One Fish Two Fish for the reception.  Johnny with Astro DJ’s had the tunes playing as they walked in and the staff at One Fish Two Fish threw down some serious chow and the party started!  Dancing, singing, and much laughter ensued (especially when Bruce took to the floor!)   We stepped out for a moment at sunset as the sun dropped below the horizon lighting up the sky with an orange glow while the Lynnhaven river lapped gently against the pier.  That’s prime picture taking time I’d say!  Overall,  the day was awesome with dash of magnificent thrown in – yup, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it…..  Here’s proof –

Hotel Roanoke Wedding – Sarah & Aaron

Something very special happened in June at the historic Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke Virginia.  It was a day of celebration, a wedding celebration, for Sarah & Aaron.   To start the magnificent plan in motion Posh Event Firm began to bring the amazing wedding day fairy tale vision to life.  With the flowers from Corsair Floral, linens from BBJ Linen, make up by the one and only Kate (one of our brides!) from Onyx Premiere Hair Studio and an amazing wedding cake from Wildflour Bakery it helped make the wedding day a dream come true.  The wedding ceremony went off without a hitch and the sounds of Grooveline set the tone for the evening while the cool voice of Alan Dever (one of our grooms married to the one and only Kate!) entered everyone in.  Here are just a few pics from Sarah & Aaron’s magical wedding day.    

The Signature at West Neck Wedding – Jordan & Jeff!

Jordan and Jeff chose a spectacular day in Virginia Beach for their wedding. The birds started chirping right on cue and the clouds parted just as guests arrived for their outdoor wedding overlooking the pristine Signature Golf Course. Daevid’s Bridal Floral added their touches to the reception as well as the ceremony site. The wedding gown from Pure English Bridal had a hint of vintage to it complete with a birdcage veil…my fave! Another cake from Patti Cakes made the room smelling delicious and looked just as tasty! Arch Entertainment and Blue Steel Lighting combined to provide an atmosphere under the stars that was simply amazing. I must say it was just about perfect! Here’s a few pics for your viewing pleasure….

Westin Virginia Beach Wedding – Jennifer & Jamie!

We spent the day with Jennifer & Jamie on a very special day. The team at Weddings by Michelle kept the party going all day like clockwork while Blue Steel Lighting had the Westin Hotel looking rather amazing. Jennifer looked stunning as Faces by Rebecca Wood worked her magic on all the girls. We can always tell when Emily Patti of Patti Cakes is around – I can smell the cake I am taking a picture of! Nice treat…. Of course Daevid brought his “A” game with some stunning flower arrangements and bouquets. Typical of Jamie and Jennifer they were consummate hosts treating their guests to a night full of dancing, music, food, and even a photobooth! We had the joy of photographing this awesome couple…it was tough picking my favs but here’s a few:

Greek Orthodox Wedding Day of Chuck & Krista

What a great wedding day we spent with Chuck & Krista. Check out the overview of their amazing wedding starting at the Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral ending at the Downtown Marriott. Wow, what a fantastic day!

Greek Orthodox Wedding – Krista & Chuck

What a beautiful and memorable day we spent with Chuck & Krista as they were married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. We strolled around downtown Norfolk on what the city would call, “a Chamber of Commerce Day” for a few shots as well.  The evening was spent at the Downtown Marriott as the dancing and celebration continued.  Such a perfect day for the perfect couple.  Congrats Chuck & Krista!

No Rules Workshop – Norfolk Photography Workshop

So we spilled the beans at our latest workshop as we met some real neat folks and dished out some serious knowledge.  We just happened to have a most amazing model for the day as we explored the streets around our studio and messed around with some lights in the studio too.  Thanks to Erin, our model for turning on her glam for us!  Stay tuned for our next workshop as we may be headed your way soon, check it out here – www.norulesworkshop.com.

Maternity Photography – Heather & Gerry

Umm.  Sorry ladies.  Don’t expect to look this good at 8 months.  I was kinda hesitant to post this Maternity shoot on the blog since it’s just not fair to anyone thinking about getting pregnant.  Inserting disclaimer here:  RESULTS MAY VARY. NOT ANY ALL PREGNANCIES LOOK THIS GOOD.  I mean really, it’s just not fair.  Gerry didn’t do so bad either.  I have a feeling they are going to have one sharp looking baby in the next few weeks.  More jealousy ensues.
