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!

Vinny & Christine- Chrysler Museum Wedding

Take a peek into Vinny & Christine’s fabulous wedding day. All made possible with a great looking couple, Kim Wadsworth, the Chrysler Museum, Antonia Christianson Events, Blue Steel Lighting, Daevid’s Bridal Flowers, oh yeah…and some pretty nifty photography. Ready….set…go!

Wedding Chrysler Museum – Vinny & Christine

Vinny & Christine brought the house down at the Chrysler Museum last Saturday.  An evening full of dancing and festivities with just a “few” of their family and friends was on tap and we were just along for the crazy ride!  Vinny was airborne a few times with the help of all his brothers and Christine was simply stunning in her gown.  Daevid’s Bridal Flowers did his magic to the bouquets & decorations along with the talents of Antonia Christianson Events the night went off without a hitch – can you say fab? I knew you could….  Here’s some of my favs from the evening:

Fort Story Wedding – Domenica & Russ

A chilly snowy day turned warm & fuzzy. An intimate classy wedding was just what the doctor ordered. We present to you – the most amazing Domenica & Russ for your viewing pleasure…..

An Evening With David Tutera at the Hilton Oceanfront

We had the unique honor of covering an event with David Tutera of “My Fair Wedding” fame at the Hilton Oceanfront. Pearl Taylor of Uniquely Yours Events took charge and showcased the Hilton as I have never seen it! It truly looked magnificent complete with 12 foot ice sculptures, a live band, the most amazing food and lighting by Blue Steel Lighting. It seemed that everywhere I turned there were shots begging to be taken so I had a busy night of not only shooting David Tutera but also capturing this once in a lifetime event with the Hilton dressed to the “T’s”! We snuck a picture of Adina with David but as usual I was working the camera. And, in case you are wondering – he is actually just as nice in person as he is on the show! A true gentleman, the real deal.

Fort Story Wedding – Domenica & Russ

Yes, that is snow on the beach.  Yes, Domenica did run on the beach – barefoot.  Yes, Russ looks like Brad Pitt.  Okay, all your questions are answered – on to the pics! Congrats guys!
