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.
Military Portraits | Maternity Portraits | Emily & Shayne | Virginia Portrait Photographer
Military families: people that are near and dear to our heart. The military is actually who brought us together. Relocating Scott from the west all the way due east he landed in Virginia. That is not the only reason that it is dear to us. We have the highest respect and honor for these families. What they give, no one will ever understand. Meet Emily and Shayne. Married, pregnant and now deployed for 7 months, deployed without being able to meet his brand new baby girl until she is 6 months old…that’s unselfish giving. Meet the honored, the selfish, most respected, Emily and Shayne. Thank you for giving….

On a Friday afternoon, we got to stroll around the beautiful downtown Norfolk are captured some awesome urban and historic areas with this beautiful engaged couple! We love the chance to do on location photography, especial outdoor photography when the weather is as beautiful as the couple that we are shooting. Here they are…Britt and Da Niel…the engagement session

We love it when we get the opportunity to do an outdoor photography session, especially when it is a destination couples session. We had the opportunity to photograph Dan and Jennifer on the beaches of Tampa St. Pete. What a beautiful area of the country. It was also an honor since they are fellow photographers. We love the opportunity to photograph other photographers! Well, give us a beautiful couple, on a beautiful beach, match that with a beautiful sunset and…. here ya go.

Military Portraits | Virginia Portrait Photographer
Where do I start?… How can we ever repay military families for what they do? Their sacrifice goes beyond anything that could ever be paid monetarily. What they do for our country is amazing. We have the opportunity to photograph many military families that are on the cusp of deployment that includes a family separation. These days families are separated for 8+ months and longer. Generally we photograph these families 1 month prior to their deployment. While photographing these families, my mind is always reeling about the family that will be left behind. Meet the O’Connor family. Amazing people, amazing family, amazing sacrifice.
Children’s Portraits | Virginia Portrait Photographer
So you’re 2 years old and it’s your birthday, so what do you do…you schedule your 2 year old portrait session of course! We have been blessed to document little Kaiya since she was just conceived. Following her mommy and daddy since they were 2 months pregnant, through their pregnancy, then the birth, 1st birthday and now the 2nd birthday of their precious gift. We got to spend a beautiful morning at the beautiful location of the Hermitage Museum. Documenting lives is what we do. What a great job we have!
Couples Beach Portraits | Virginia Engagement Session Photographer
One of the great things about having a portrait studio in a coastal area is being able to do outdoor portrait session at the ocean front. It gets even better when you are in an area that has the beach and a beautiful downtown setting. We had the privilege of capturing Caroline and Brandon’s engagement session. What a great place for photographs and what a great couple!
Couples Portraits | Virginia Portrait Photographer
Ahhhh…couples portraits. What can I say? Capturing the love between a man and woman….priceless. On Saturday we had the chance to stroll around our amazing downtown area to capture some portraits for Kelly and Rob. What a great time and and what a great way to spend an afternoon. Hanging out with our clients is something that we love to do. Getting to know each one of them and building a relationship is the core of what we do. Capturing amazing portraits, that’s what we do too. Here’s Kelly and Rob
Family Portraits | Virginia Family Portrait Photographer
We love the chance to capture a family’s life in the form of family portraits. Taking outside family portraits is always fun especially when you have a place so close to the studio like the Pagoda Gardens in downtown Norfolk. We had a chance to do just that with the Curry family. There was a chill in the air, but the sun was shining, which made for a wonderful shoot. Check out the Curry family’s outdoor family portraits! Don’t forget to schedule your family portraits here.
Wedding at The Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia – Mary & Patrick | Wedding Slideshow
Just a quick note about Mary & Patrick. They rock their own worlds and ours too. That about sums them up! Here, you can see for yourself –
Aftershoot Norfolk Downtown & Beach – Mario & Meredith | Couples Lifestyle Photography
We had the joy of photographing Mario & Meredith’s wedding a few weeks ago and had them join us again for an aftershoot. Meredith put her wedding dress back on and Mario found a sharp looking suit and we hit the town. Aftershoots allow us to create some more “edgy” shots without having to keep Mario & Meredith pristine for their wedding day. We walked around some alleyways and streets of downtown Norfolk then headed to the beach for a quick romp through the water. Too cool! While these guys had shot with us a few times before, many of our aftershoot couples are first-timers with us wanting our style of photography but having already completed their wedding this is a great option! Here’s a few shots of our afternoon with this fabulous couple:
Doug & Crystal – Botanical Gardens Wedding – Water Table Reception
A day at the Botanical Gardens topped off by an evening at the Water Table was on tap for Doug & Crystal’s wedding day. We had the honor of photographing their wedding and working with some of the finest wedding vendors in the business. Weddings by Michelle had the entire day going like clockwork and the Water Table was looking amazing thanks to the flowers by Isha Foss and the lighting by the always stunning Blue Steel Pro Lighting. The makeup by Rebecca Wood looked fresh all day and night. DJ Rodney Charles from Arch Entertainment kept the party grooving and of course Carolina Cupcakery whipped up a batch of delicious cupcakes for everyone. While the Botanical Gardens offered serenity during the picture perfect day the evening down by the water at Rudee Inlet offered a one of a kind experience by the water for Doug & Crystals family & guests. The night ended with a beautiful evening cruise as the wedding couple left the dock via boat and cruised the peaceful waters of the Atlantic Ocean. We had such a wonderful time interacting with the guests in our photobooth and we look forward to hearing amazing things from Doug & Crystal! Here’s a few shots from the eventful day:
Mary & Turner Aftershoot Norfolk | Couples Photography
Mary and Turner returned for a late afternoon shoot at the Japanese Gardens in downtown Norfolk with us and it was great to get to know them a bit more after we shot their wedding a few weeks ago. Aftershoots are a ton of fun and they have even been called “therapeutic” since it is a separate shoot from their wedding day where the bride & groom can let their hair down so-to-speak. Away from the hustle & bustle of the wedding day our Aftershoots offer our couples a refreshing time where we can do some more creative shooting without the risk of getting the gown a bit dirty on the wedding day! In Mary & Turners case her dress from Maya Couture made it through just fine but some of our bride & grooms end up in the water or rolling around in the beach…..you name it! Mary’s make-up was terrific thanks to the talents of Kim Wadsworth and we even did some studio shooting to show that off. So, if you want a do-over for your wedding day, or in Mary & Turner’s case just an evening out together for a few stress-free shots in your wedding attire – contact us and we’ll set up your own Aftershoot just for you!
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.
