Keriann + Tony

Keriann and Tony had their wedding day at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg!  It's always fun to shoot at that classy location.  The couple decided to do a "First Look" meeting before the ceremony and I really enjoyed capturing the emotion between them as they shared this time together.  The colors and attire of the groom and groomsmen were off the hook.  It was such a colorful day, the sky decided to get in on it with a rainbow display.  Yes, that really did happen!  A rainbow during portrait time at a wedding is definitely something special!  Keriann and Tony, thank you so much for including me in your day!

Snow Day 2010

Hey everyone, 

I just wanted to share some of the pictures we took the weekend we had the snow storm.  Pretty much everyone who has kids on our block came out to hang out and enjoy the snow.  It certainly was exciting and there were some little ones for whom it was their first time in the snow (okay, really only Gypsy, our puppy, but she counts, too!).

I think Maddox is about to bomb me with a snowball here...thank goodness the snow wouldn't really compact too much!

This is our neighbors' great dane, Bella.  

Gypsy was pretty cold and unsure about the snow at this point.

Then we put her sweater on her:

Oh, I can dig in this stuff:

We made a sled run on the steps of the church across the street...

Tina + Trey

Getting to know Tina and Trey was a real hoot!  These two were all about the party when it came to their wedding.  They were extremely fun loving, even at their engagement session.  Unfortunately, no matter what we had planned for photos after their ceremony, mother nature stepped in and literally blew those ideas out the window.  It didn't matter, though.  There was no way anything was going to dampen the spirits of these two!  Below are a few from their day.

Ashley + Ryan

Ashley and Ryan had a fantastic wedding and reception beginning at the Williamsburg Presbyterian Church in Williamsburg and wrapping things up with their reception at William & Mary University's alumni house.  Me and the wedding party left the church and were able to walk to the reception and along the way stopped here and there for some formals and impromptu shooting.  Their family and friends came to party and no one left disappointed.  Congrats you two!

Liz + Ryan

Liz and Ryan were certainly a special couple.  When Liz and her mom first came to visit me, Liz expressed how important the pictures were going to be to her and Ryan.  After talking in length about their wedding day vision, I knew it was going to be something special.  Their ceremony and reception was held at the Chrysler Museum, in Norfolk, later in the afternoon, but we got there a bit early so we could use the grounds before beginning.  Before starting with the couple's pictures together, we created a "first look," where they could meet each other in private before the ceremony.  On top of having a blast with the wedding party, when I walked into the Chrysler, there were so many details I couldn't see straight.;)  Liz and her mom had spent about a year creating and making everything.  Liz even used one of her favorite books, The Pride and the Prejudice, as their guest book.  I saw some really cool stuff.  Special thanks to Jeremy Kilgore, with Blue Steel Pro Lighting, for lighting up the joint, DJ Rodney Charles for rocking the night and Cuisine & Co. for a terrific meal.  Liz and Ryan, thanks for letting me be a part of your super duper day!  Below are just a few of my favorites.
