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!

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:

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.

Oh! Baby! – A Newborn Family Session

Having a baby is a life changing event that marks the end of one stage and opens up a whole new one at the same time. It was such an honor to be able to document that moment with Derick, Michelle and their new bundle of joy – Noelle. She was so tiny we could fit her into daddy’s flight helmet but she will grow fast I am sure! Noelle was just a few days old on this shoot and we have since photographed her 3-month pictures and we’ll see her a few times after that (6,9 & 12 months!) It’s an amazing time of growth for her and her family which we simply adore. Us photographers have it so nice really…we get to see the babies grow, in their finest clothes, smiling, and then they leave. We miss all the bad stuff in between! Here’s a few shots of Noelle and her fan club…

Palm Springs, California, Riviera Hotel – Dustin & Missy’s Couples Shoot!

We winged our way out west to the spectacular Riviera Resort in Palm Springs, California for a shoot and it turned out to be just what my jet lag needed!  A fun and somewhat “experimental” shoot using a variety of lighting techniques including, video lights, ambient, off-camera flash, ringlight, and reflectors…that about covers it all.  Thanks Dustin & Missy for joining us and getting your groove on for this long distance shoot – you rock!

SYNC 2011 – No Rules Workshop

St. Petersburg, Florida….love that town. We carried our cold and weary bodies to the sunshine state to hang out with 400 of the craziest photographers on the planet. I mean, these guys & gals are serious about their photography and their business! It just felt weird to be shooting on the beach in February – I know I heard my camera say, “What the…?” until Alexis popped in front of it! Alexis was our model for the afternoon as we strolled around the Tradewinds resort for our shooting workshop. She did fabulous especially considering all the cameras pointing her way! We’re back in Norfolk now with snow & slush today but I think I will post some sunny pics of Alexis to warm our cold toes. Ahhh….
