Laurie and Brian were married in a garden ceremony at Brian’s parents home in Belle Haven, Virginia. The grounds were beautiful, overlooking an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. And although their was a chill to the air, everyone stayed warm under the tented reception were the party went all night long! Highlights included Laurie and her son, Chase dancing together, chocolate leaves on the wedding cake and a fantastic reenactment of Michael Jackson’s Thriller!

Because of the timing of their wedding, Stacey and Nick decided to have their photographs together captured before their ceremony and reception at Shifting Sands so that we would still have daylight to take them out on the beach. Understandably most couples don’t want to break tradition, but in Stacey and Nick’s case it wasn’t a concern and they got to have some great outdoor shots together including a beautiful sunset.  

I photographed All Hallows Eve at the Hermitage Museum last weekend. It is such a neat event! The grounds there are so perfect for celebrating the fall holiday. I especially loved seeing all of the children dressed up.

AnneMarie looked like snow white in her wedding dress. And the location for her portraits made me feel like we were photographing a fairy tale. I can’t wait to capture their Happily Ever After this December. 

Brandi and Mike met at the beach walking their dogs. So the perfect place to have their engagement session was of course right there where it all it began with their dogs, Ginger and Ozzie.
