Wedding Slideshow Marriott Norfolk – Mike & Melanie
I love M&M’s they make my tummy happy. Mike & Melanie, while not being covered in a sweet candy shell, are certainly a treat to take pictures of! I am just sure that they have a warm chocolate center – I just know it! After all, how else can you explain all the joy and mirth (there’s a new word for your Scrabble game!) that followed them around on their wedding day? From the church to the Waterside Marriott it was a sweet ride! I have always thought M&M’s can cure world hunger and bring peace to the nations. It all starts with Mike & Melanie…. my favorite M&M’s of all!

Here’s a sneak peek into their day as we hung out with them and their army of adoring friends & family. Viva la love!
Chrysler Museum Wedding – Mario & Meredith
The Chrysler Museum always offers up amazing opportunities to photograph with statues and artwork as backgrounds for our bride & grooms. Mario & Meredith certainly took it up a notch with their wedding by adding floral arrangements by Botanique and lighting by Blue Steel Lighting. I must say, I have never seen the Chrysler Museum look quite so awesome! Mario & Meredith were a joy to work with and we must thank them for taking some time with us which we always realize can be difficult to do on your wedding day. It pays off with killer images from a top notch venue of a top notch couple!
Corporate Portrait – Rebecca!
So Rebecca is putting together a website for her amazing makeup & hair talents and we had the challenge of making her look pretty. Um, not really a challenge actually. A corporate headshot was the order of the day and it was a joy to work with her! Such a bubbly personality and of course, flawless makeup & hair. If you are looking into a freshened up portrait for your website, portfolio, advertising or just for Facebook contact us for details! We will update you with her completed website soon but for now check out the talented & beautiful Rebecca –
Wedding Slideshow Norfolk Yacht Club – Nathan & Ashley
Classic beauty and suave sophistication were married the other day and their names were Nathan & Ashley. I’ll let you figure out who is who… Whenever we shoot a wedding at the Norfolk Yacht Club it just adds to the classiness to the whole event. Throw in the amazing architecture of the First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk and you end up with the coolest pics! Here’s a few of our favs via a slideshow:
Visionary Productions Wedding Video – Mike & Melanie
I think Dave Alegre over at Visionary Productions has the whole video thing down…. Well, I guess it helps when you have an awesome couple like Mike and Melanie as your subjects! He added a few images from their engagement shoot along with his video and came up with this really cool wedding fusion video. Killer job Dave as always! Thanks Mike & Melanie for dealing with all the cameras on your wedding day…it will be so worth it! Enjoy the show….

Norfolk Marriott Wedding – Mike and Melanie!
Mike and Melanie. Here’s all you need to know: They can dance. They look rather awesome. They dig the whole photography thing. We <3 them lots. Well if you must know the boring stuff….they were married last week and the reception was at the Norfolk Marriott. Arch Entertainment rocked the dance floor. Simply Perfect Events made sure the whole day went smooth. Crazy off-the-hook flowers were provided by the always hip Bella Flora. Visionary Productions was buzzing around busy as a bee documenting the day too. And of course, we took some cool pictures along the way!
Chesapeake/Norfolk Marriott Wedding – Josh and Marjorie!
Josh and Marjorie put on quite a show on their wedding day for a “few” of their family and friends. The dancing – epic. The gown – to die for. The guys – rockstars. The photography wasn’t too bad either. Here’s a few for ya’! Congrats guys!
Chrysler Museum Wedding – Leo and Anastasia
The food just kept coming and the dancing was non-stop! If this is what having a Russian wedding is like than I am defecting… They do know how to throw a party! Leo and Anastasia took over the Chrysler Museum and made it their own for a few hours last week. They danced across Huber Court while their guests feasted on some authentic Russian cuisine put together by Cuisine & Company. We wish them the best and look forward to hearing amazing things about their new life together! Here’s a few shots as we strolled around Botanical Gardens and spent the evening at the always fabulous Chrysler Museum:
Wedding at Norfolk Yacht Club – Nathan & Ashley
Some people find meaning in their job. Some in their kids. Nathan & Ashley found it in each other. They don’t need a wedding for it to show….they just ooze love & happiness. Their wedding was at First Presbyterian Church in Norfolk which just looked stunning with the cathedral ceilings and stained glass. The Norfolk Yacht Club is where the fun began with amazing food, music & dancing. It was a joy to spend the day with everyone! Congrats Nathan & Ashley!
Concert Shoot at The Norva – Audiostrobelight & Kaboom Box
Something new and different for a Friday post! We don’t do many concert shoots but I must say it is a bucket load of fun to do! We got some shots of Audiostrobelight and Kaboom Box doing their thing along with Stage Right Lighting lighting up The Norva. Concert shoots are a whole different animal with a ton of energy and constantly changing lighting conditions. It can be a challenge capturing the energy and music through the camera but I think we were able to . Here’s a taste of the evening at The Norva!
Wedding Slideshow – Long Island, New York – Ryan & Xavia
Ryan & Xavia have got the whole love thing down – and it shows. A wedding at the amazing Chateau Briand on Long Island provided the perfect showcase for their most perfect day. We also worked in a 3am trip to Times Square where we basically had the whole place to ourselves! After spending all day and into the next with them they didn’t miss a beat. They’re not just talking the talk. They’re walking the walk. They’ve got love and it’s bigger than the Big Apple.
Wedding at the Signature at West Neck – Sara & Eric
A group of sharp looking guys meet up with a flock of beautiful women. I took some shots. The craziest thing happened! Sara & Eric got married and we got some really cool pictures! This all took place at the fabulous Signature Golf Course at West Neck. The guests sat in the gentle breeze underneath the enormous gazebo along the river to watch Sara & Eric enter into wedded bliss….. It’s so cool to see people that we have photographed before too – just an added bonus on top of the most perfect day. All of our weddings are cool but this one just oozed with slick sophistication with a touch of excitement. Here’s just a taste of the day:
Emily and Andrew – Newport News Wedding
Emily and Andrew got their game on last week and scored! It felt like home since we knew so many guests and the atmosphere was so laid back. Andrew serenaded his bride with his guitar and smooth voice while Emily just glowed with excitement all night! We were thrilled to be there and we can’t wait to see what life has in store for these guys! We’ll be watching! Here’s a few shots from the evening..
New York City, Times Square – Ryan & Xavia’s Aftershoot
The Big Apple is our backdrop for this shoot with Ryan & Xavia in Times Square, specifically. I would have been tickled to just photograph all the lights and glitz of 42nd street but give me an awesome bride & groom and that just kicks it up a notch! We hit the empty streets of Long Island at 2:30AM for a cruise down to Times Square to capture Broadway’s lights with a few less people in the way. The streets were empty except for a few taxis and New York’s finest so we had the whole place to ourselves. Say it with me now – Awesommmmme….. A big high five to our couple for allowing us to capture them on a shoot of a lifetime! A few pics from our 3am excursion:
