    Katie and Josh’s Wedding Day Photography

    What a joy it was to be able to spend the day with Katie and Josh for their wedding. As a wedding photographer we love beautiful people and beautiful venues. We had both of those with Katie and Josh.

    They chose one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Norfolk. The newly remodeled Chrysler Museum of Art is simply stunning.

    To add to the interest of Katie and Josh’s wedding day, there was a very special traveling piece of art of display in the Hague River. It was the traveling duck designed by Florentijn Hofman.

    Katie really wasn’t upset with the duck, we just thought we would create some fun wedding pictures with it. Since the duck it about 40′ tall, embracing it really wasn’t an option.

    Melissa and Seth’s Jewish Wedding

    It was a beautiful weekend when we photographed Melissa and Seth’s wedding. It was a Sunday wedding and was the perfect way to finish out the weekend. As a wedding photographer we are always excited about what traditions will be celebrated. To be a well rounded wedding photographer, you must be familiar with all traditions. Whether it’s a Protestant wedding, a Jewish wedding, an Indian wedding, a Greek Orthodox wedding, it makes no difference to us. We are very familiar with all of them and the traditions that we will be photographing.

    For Melissa and Seth, it was a beautiful Jewish wedding. Their wedding was complete with a custom, beautiful Ketubah, a gorgeous Chuppah and breaking the glass. They had it all, and then some. Not only was the weather perfect for a wedding, the location was equally as great.

    They were married at the newly remodeled Chrysler Museum of Art. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Chrysler in a while you will love what they have done!

    We love to work with amazing couples and their families. We also love working with amazing vendors. The wedding day was under the direction of Antonia Christianson Events. As a wedding photographer we love working with great coordinators. They make our day flawless.

    Many other great vendors were in attendance helping the wedding go off with out a hitch. Fluttering Flowers, Cake Delights, Cuisine and Company, Stage Right Lighting, The Boardwalk Photobooth Company, Kristal Lane Beauty and the band, In Full. Melissa’s gown was from Wedding Atelier. We just loved her wedding gown with the beautiful bolero.

    Wedding Preparation Photography

    For a wedding photographer, we feel it is important to have creative wedding photos. That is true for every phases of a wedding day. When we are taking photos during preparation, we are always looking for different angles and composition. When you add these elements it creates interest in your wedding photos.

    If you are a photographer and are stumped on creative composition, our wedding day guide may help.

    Should I Have a First Look?

    Why a first look, you may ask.  As a wedding photographer, we have photographed hundreds of weddings. When one of our bride and groom’s have a “first look”, we find these results.

    1. The bride and groom feel complete once they see each other. The wedding day, no matter how prepared you are, you are going to have butterflies. We find that when our bride and groom chose a first look, those butterflies are diminished immediately!

    2. It’s the best that a bride is going to look on her wedding day! Dress perfect…check, make up perfect…check, and hair perfect….check, check.

    3. It gives a bride and groom some down time to really enjoy each other on a hectic wedding day.

     

    How Do We Photograph a First Look?

    1. We find a beautiful location that is undisturbed by people, so it is truly a private meeting.

    2. We have the groom facing away so that the bride can approach from behind. This allows a great opportunity for great photos. The expression on a groom’s face as he hears his loved one approaching is amazing. Here is a video that has a real first look at the Chrysler Museum.

    3. We always respect the bride and groom’s privacy.

    4. Real Emotion. Often it is hard for a groom to let down his guard in a ceremony where he is surrounded by all the guests. Men don’t often like to let down their guard in a group, but in private, it’s different.

    5. During a first look we will have two of us photographing. One will be focusing on the bride’s reactions and one focused on the groom. This helps tells the whole story.

    6. We capture a few other great photos during that time. After the first look has happened, we get to spend a little extra time capturing additional great pictures.

    Allison and Ryan’s Wedding Day

    I love a good wedding and a Founders Inn Wedding with Allison and Ryan was just what the doctor ordered. The style of the inn is very southern and so was the style of the wedding day. What a perfect setting for the perfect wedding.

    The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. The skies were blue and the temperatures were perfect. Brides and grooms long for a Chamber of Commerce Day. Allison and Ryan were happy recipients of it.

    Bridal and Wedding Flowers

    There are so many details of a wedding day, it is important for us to capture them all. So much time goes into the wedding planning process. Flowers are a very important part of that. Having flowers that compliment your wedding theme, wedding colors and style is critical. I think that you will agree that Davids has created the perfect floral design.

    Katie and Josh

    Meet Katie and Josh. We were so honored that they chose us to be their wedding photographer. My running joke is that we only photographed beautiful people. You can see why that statement is true. Katie was breathtaking in her gorgeous wedding gown from Ava Laurenne Bride. Josh, well, he wasn’t so bad either. He was very handsome in his wedding attire.

    The wedding day was amazing partly because it was under the direction of Carolyn at Signature Weddings. The floral design was by the one and only Daevids.Their cake artist was Incredible Edibles Bakery. There were many other amazing vendors that made their wedding day dreams come true. Some of them were Stage Right Lighting, Make Up by Kim Porter, The Boardwalk Photobooth Company and Cuisine and Company.

    The Invasion of the Duck

    Well, in case you haven’t heard, there was an invasion of a duck…a large rubber duck. The Chrysler Museum hosted the Rubber Duck sculpture during the busy Memorial Day weekend. This duck was designed by Florentjin Hofman. It is traveling art that is literally seeing the world. It has been in Holland, France, Brazil, Australia, China and Azerbaijan. It has been a very busy duck! Though Katie was not excited about the duck, she embraced him in the end.

    I can tell you right now, that this is my favorite photo time of the entire wedding day. Yes, we love to cover the ceremony. Yes, we love to photograph the reception, however, there is not a more precious time then our time spent with the bride and groom. We love to create beautiful portraits of their once in a lifetime event.

    Photographing a stylized photo shoot is always a great creative avenue for a photographer. To have someone prepare a thematic photo shoot with all the details is a photographers dream. It is a great time as a photographer to just slow down and create amazing photos.

    How to Plan a Stylized Photo Shoot

    A stylized or thematic photo shoot plan includes lots of background work and research. In order to have an effective photo shoot you need to ensure that you do a lot of research. This includes collecting all the elements needed to accomplish the photo shoot goal. If you have connections to great vendors, this is a wonderful opportunity to partner with them to achieve the same final goal…great marketable images for all!

    This Art Deco Photo Shoot was directed by Tanya Frazier of Graceful Designs She then partnered with Ava Clara Bridal Boutique, Royal Coach, The Wells Theater, Beecroft and Bull, hair and make up artist Jaqueline and Jessica Horton. Floral and linens by Graceful Designs.

    What Type of Stylized Photo Shoot Will I Plan

    When thinking about a thematic photo shoot, first you should think about the end goal. What type of images are you trying to portray? Modern, traditional or vintage photos? Why are you producing these stylized photos? What age would you like your model or models to be? Is the setting going to be industrial, contemporary or historic? What elements do you need to make your vision come to life?

    For this photo shoot Tanya wanted a vintage, Art Deco style. These images will be used in an upcoming publication of her latest magazine.

    Conceptualizing Your Thematic Photo Shoot

    Once you have decided on the basic elements of your thematic photo shoot, it is now time to start envisioning your photos.

    Who do you want to use as models? What will the models wear? Where will the photo shoot take place?

    Tanya wanted a two female bride models in their 20s and 30s. She only wanted one groom model. She decided that she wanted glamorous, vintage and unique images.

    Choose the Right Clothing for Your Stylized Shoot

    Now it is time for the fun stuff! Finding the right couture for your concept. For this shoot we were able to use gowns, accessories, shoes, etc, from Ava Clara. A wonderful thing with working with knowledgeable vendors like Ava Clara, is giving them your vision and allowing them to run with it. This dress boutique knew the perfect Art Deco wedding gowns and accessories to choose. They put together two complete looks for each of our bride models.

    Beecroft and Bull did the same. We gave them the vision and they choose the perfect Art Deco wedding couture to do with it.

    Where to Photograph a Stylized Shoot

    When planning a stylized photo shoot with an Art Deco theme, it is important that the back drop that you choose fits the stylized theme. For this shoot we choose the Wells Theater. With it’s history and design, it was the perfect setting for these vintage styled images.

    How to Add the “Wow” Factor to Your Stylized Photo Shoot

    What can you add to your photo shoot that will be the icing on the cake? the cherry on top? For this shoot we thought a vintage Rolls Royce would be the icing on the cake!

    San Francisco Wedding | Hayne Photographers

    When we were called by Serena and Jason to shoot their wedding in San Francisco, we were thrilled. We are destination wedding photographers. It wasn’t a destination wedding for Serena and Jason who live in San Francisco. They simply loved our wedding photography and wanted us to shoot their wedding.

    San Fran was an amazing backdrop for their gorgeous wedding photos. Since the groom attended Stanford University, we made the short trip to the campus to photograph the bride and groom in a place that is special to them both.

    Serena and Jason rented the vintage car for the photographs. Props can make a huge impact in photography and we think this prop was well chosen!

    Serena really had some special touches at her wedding. She had handkerchiefs embroidered with beautiful sayings for her mother and grandmother. More details included the bride and groom’s “signature drink” during cocktail hour and a casino themed reception room. All of these details are forever memorialized in her beautiful wedding photography.

    Since we are surrounded by beautiful beaches it still can be a challenge to make a photograph interesting. In this image you will see the focus is still the couple, however, by incorporating the background with a wide angle lens, they will be able to remember exactly where they were and what they were feeling at the time the image was captured. Also by using the latest technology in lighting we are able to capture this beautiful sky. If you would like to learn more about our lighting, here are some basic lighting tips.

    Beautiful wedding photos show depth of emotion by highlighting details that could easily be missed. This bridal portrait truly captures the beauty of bride Lauren, and her incredible choice of wedding locations.

    Lauren was a stunning bride. After photographing her bridal portraits at the Chamberlain Hotel three months prior to her wedding, we knew the wedding day would be amazing. And, it was! We have to applaud Tanya Frasier of Graceful Designs who coordinated the event. Lauren’s gown was from Pure English in Virginia Beach, Va and it looked spectacular in the photos.

    Lauren & Ian’s wedding ceremony took place at the historic Hampton University Chapel. The reception was at the Chamberlain Hotel. This hotel is also historic. It has now been converted from a pre 1900 officers quarters for Fort Monroe, to a hotel and upscale retirement community.

    One special request this bride and groom had was to do table shots with all of their guests. This is really a thoughtful thing for brides to do and help preserve the memories of each person who attended the wedding!

    In spite of torrential rain during preparation and the ceremony, the photography went off without a hitch. Rain on the wedding day is considered good luck. In Lauren and Ian’s case, we certainly agree.

    When a bride books wedding photography with us, we often find that their friends come to us for their weddings too. Lauren’s cousin loved her photos and has booked a June wedding with us. We’re so excited to do another wedding for this lovely family!

    What an honor to be chosen to be Keisha and Scott’s wedding photographers. We knew it was going to be a spectacular day.

    Brooch Bouquet

    Brooch bouquets are stunning. They have become more popular this wedding season. This brooch bouquet was hand made for Keisha. Brooch bouquets are sparkly, glamorous and they are a keepsake after the wedding day. Brides seem to love these bouquets because they are easily customizable.
