Destination Wedding – Ashley and Chris Got Married Are you looking for a destination wedding photographer? We would love to talk to you. Contact us today!  Indiana Wedding Photography As a wedding photographer, we love photographing in different locations. For most photographers this may be a challenge but for us, we thrive on it. We love the idea of being in a location that is unique to us. Indiana was one of those places. What seems so common for Indiana natives, is unique to others. Barns, prairies and cornfields really got us excited about Chris and Ashley’s wedding photography. Bride Getting Ready Photos We cherish the time that we get to spend photographing a bride getting ready. When we have mom involved in the process we love it even more. The time spent with a mom and daughter on a wedding day is valuable. Being chosen to be the wedding photographer is priceless. First Look Wedding Pictures Who doesn’t love a first look? Well, I can tell you as a wedding photographer we love it. We find that if a bride and groom decide to do a first look we get real emotion. The wedding day is a buzz and a first look seems to calm the soul. We find that during a first look a bride and groom get to really enjoy their time together, cherish each other and take a deep breath. While we are photographing the first look we stay rather stealthy so that we don’t interfere with the emotion. We position the groom facing away from where the bride will enter. We always choose an area where the groom will hear the bride approaching. The bride then will give the groom a little tap and when he turns around, the magic happens. We then are able to capture some private portraits of the bride a groom. Here are just a few of our favorites from the wedding.

Virginia Wedding Photography | Melissa & Seth

Bride and Groom Sharing Wedding Gifts

Virginia Wedding Photography Are you looking for Virginia wedding photography? We would love to talk with you! Contact us today! Wedding Day Photo Slideshow Melissa and Seth’s Chrysler Museum Wedding When you are looking around for a stunning venue for your Virginia wedding photography, you want to visit the Chrysler Museum of Art. It is simply stunning. It recently has gone through a total renovation and is simply breathtaking. As you can see from the night photo above, it doesn’t matter if it is day or night, it is still beautiful. Located in downtown Norfolk and nestled by the Hague River you will observe a stunning art museum that doubles as a breathtaking venue in the evening.   Traditional Jewish Wedding Ceremony When I think about Melissa and Seth, they make me smile. They seem like the perfect match. I love the way that they seem to balance each other. We had the absolute joy of being their wedding photographer. While we photographed their wedding I loved observing their love for each other. Melissa is fun and spontaneous, while Seth is well planned and somewhat calculated. Having these two types of personalities in a marriage is perfect because they complete each other. Here is an example in photos of their personality. Prior to their main wedding ceremony we photographed their private traditional Jewish ceremony. At this point in the ceremony the Rabi said something like this. “It’s tradition for the groom to remove the veil from the bride to ensure that he is indeed marrying the correct woman.”. This was a funny moment at their Ketubah ceremony as Melissa said, “Surprise! It’s me!”. Who couldn’t love these two and simply enjoy being their wedding photographer? Wedding Day Pictures Here are a few more of our favorite wedding day photos.   To see more from Melissa and Seth’s wedding, check out their previous blog post.
