Sandbridge Beach Wedding

It was a real pleasure to photograph this Sandbridge beach wedding a couple of weeks ago. The sneak preview was tough to put together - there are so many fun, beautiful photos of this beautiful couple and their family and friends. We started by capturing as many family photos as possible - as this was an opportunity for the bride and groom's families to get together, have some fun and witness their beautiful beach-front ceremony.

So, without further ado, here are your sneak peek photos - to the beautiful bride and groom, hope you enjoy these photos and I look forward to sharing the entire gallery with you soon!

The bride's beautiful hair - I wanted to give this photo some texture to set off the beautiful tones.

A moment during the ceremony - again, this version of the photo has texture. The bride and groom will also receive the non-textured version. A beach wedding offers an opportunity to capture some interesting perspectives since you can walk around the ceremony.

Their joy-filled kiss in black and white.

Also loved this photo in vintage tones - the tones work beautifully with the white clothing.

The new family - love those happy smiles!

These two were also a joy to photograph!

Post-ceremony smiles - at the water's edge.

Had to share one of the group shots - a memorable reunion to remember for many years to come!

Love this shot of the two of them with the full moon behind them. Many of their relationship milestones were also marked by a full moon.     

Wedding Sneak Preview

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing a private wedding ceremony at the Virginia Beach Hilton and family photos afterwards for the bride and groom and the newly combined family of their three children - who are all as nice as they are beautiful on the outside. We had gorgeous weather and were able to take some of the photos on a balcony just outside the room where they were married.

"M" and J" - here is your sneak preview - happy one-week anniversary!

Here is the beautiful bride

Flowers & the ring

I love photographing wedding cakes - isn't that silly? I don't know what it is - maybe it's because they never run when you take their photo, they never blink and they are always beautiful.

Two of the three beautiful children - we grabbed these shots on the hotel room balcony just a few minutes before the ceremony.


Look at that smile! Mr. Ring Bearer standing proudly next to his dad.

   

A Fun, Creative and Unique Wedding

Last weekend I had the pleasure of "second shooting" with Catie Cleveland of Catie's Photography. We met a few months ago at a wedding she was shooting. I love her work and her style - very fresh and fun. She invited me to be a second shooter for her at a very unique wedding last weekend. The second shooter assists the main photographer by getting details shots and other shots that the photographer may not get - as well as other general assisting duties. It was a fantastic opportunity.

I learned a ton from Catie and about wedding photography in general. And the wedding itself could not have been more fun. The wedding took place outside and there was a great mix of traditional and non-traditional. There was an underlying '80s theme you'll see bits of - the chunky pearls they all wore, the bride's hair, etc. The bride wore a traditional dress and walked down the aisle with her dad to an '80s pop song ("Send me an Angel!"). She and her husband walked down the aisle afterwards to a Def Leppard song! They then were driven in to be presented at the reception on a tractor driven by the groom!

Here are some highlights:
