Bettina's Bridals

I took Bettina to a park I'd been meaning to check out for a while, the oriental pagota in Norfolk. I love it!  Very nice and it was such a beautiful evening for this bridal shoot.  Her wedding was last week and I'll be getting to post process those next, for now at least I'll share some of my favorites of her bridals.

Raelyn due August 30th

What a perfect couple to work with - let me rephrase that, what a perfect couple to have fun with. They're picture perfect. They literally didn't take a bad picture. Here are a few of my favorites and a fun video.


makes me happy










be sure to watch their video

here is my very favorite of the day 

Kristen and James

Kristen wed James on July 26th at the Botanical Gardens. Becca was my assistant and did a great job! There are so many great images but I had to pick some favorites - not easy.



Stunning!!!

receiving applause as they meet their limo
precious!

I love the colors in this one



Here is a video of all the formals - very fun! This slideshow can't help but make you feel happy for the couple.

by far the best cake I've ever eaten at a wedding, seriously!  It was Mrs B's cheesecake. 


I also want to mention Whitney Ketchum with Style Events she did a fabulous job with this wedding. Everything went so perfectly --- that's Whitney's back as they handle the tedious business of the bustle

here I am with the happy couple - thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer for this special day!

meet Raven

My cousin is staying with us this week, our first scheduled shoot was rained out, I'm so glad we had a beautiful evening for this to happen.
to quote Lizzietish "don't get crazy" she's 14!

This evening was perfect - one of those evenings that I would have been upset if I didn't have a shoot scheduled. Look at this light

Raven doesn't like the pictures of her smiling - she's crazy! - this one makes me happy
so does this one: Brandon was out with me and he got a lot of real smiles from her.

This one just screams New Yorker!

Lissa's bridals

About a month ago I took Lissa out for her bridals. We called ahead to the Botanical Gardens, she had her hair appointment and what not....then the heavens decided to open up and washed our NBG shoot away. I thought about where we could find a pretty place indoors to shoot and I thought of the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club. I'd worked a wedding there in May and remembered how beautiful it was. I spoke with the person in charge and she was wonderful and granted us permission to have this shoot there. So here we are posing all over the place and sure enough not only did the rain stop but it became this super sunny evening. So here you have it, a few of my favorites.

Sun coming in - hey wait a minute...lets go outside!



Lissa is getting married today!!! I'm so happy for her.
