Michael + Brittany Truth be told, I’ll probably never ever forget Michael & Brittany’s engagement session.  Ever! It was a whopping 97 degrees on that October day.  Isn’t October supposed to be cool and breezy.  Well this day in October certainly did not get the memo.  Actually it was the hottest day in October history ever. And […]

Michael + Kathleen We pulled up to the Founder’s Inn in Virginia Beach and there were cars everywhere.  The parking lot was so full and people were hustling in and out of the hotel.  As we walked inside there were people everywhere. They had several events going that day from conferences to weddings.  We navigated through […]

Zach + Jordan I’ll never forget the day I met Jordan in a quaint yet booming coffee shop in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg.  It was just her dad and her there to meet me.  She strolled in and was absolutely adorable. It worked out meeting her there because I had an engagement session there just […]

Thomas + Amelia One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is when Jake and I get the honor of being invited back into another celebration for one of our bride’s family or friends.  It is one of the greatest joys.  I remember the day I realized Amelia was Nina’s sister.  I didn’t […]

Tyler + Caitlyn We completely agree that there must be a first time for everything.  Photographing weddings at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront as Tropical Storm Dorian skirted the coast was definitely a first.  Tyler and Caitlin’s small intimate wedding took place at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront.  It seems to be a popular […]

Carlan + Priscilla During the summer the Virginia Beach oceanfront can be a little crowded with so many vacationers.  Labor Day weekend is no exception.  It was the last day of August and the last Saturday before kids go back to school. The sun was nice and hot and the beach was filled with colored umbrellas, […]

Joe + Ashley One of my favorite moments to experience during any wedding is the joy, excitement and solemn realization of a new life starting a new journey together.  Most the time this happens with tears and other times with pure joy shared on the bride and grooms face. I love getting the front row […]

Rocco + Hannah Rocco and Hannah met working together at the Texas Roadhouse in Virginia Beach.  Jake & I met Hannah at a wedding show last November in Virginia Beach.  She said she just loved our personalities, but I know it was all Jake.  A few weeks after the wedding show Hannah and her best […]

Suave + Sapphira Thankful!  Today my heart is overflowing with thankfulness.  When I think about couples like Suave and Sapphira my heart gets so full of joy.  I got to spend about two hours with them a couple of Sundays ago at the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia.  If you have never been to the […]

Todd + Sarah This wedding included three firsts for us!  It was our first time photographing a wedding at the gorgeous Culpepper Barn in Virginia Beach.  This barn is such a perfect location for rustic style weddings.  It sits just on the corner of Indian River Road and Princess Anne Road tucked to the side.  […]
