Sumerford/West Wedding

Ashley and Brad were married at Baylake United Methodist Church and celebrated at the Lesner Inn, in Virginia Beach. The Bridal party got ready at a local beach rental home so everything was within minutes of each other. An early afternoon thunderstorm threatened to spoil all the outdoor fun, but it passed quickly leaving the rest of the day perfect! My favorite shot was Ashley and Brad next to the ice cream truck! 

Everyone was on the dance floor!

Kara and Joe’s Engagement Session

Because of Kara and Joe’s busy schedules we chose the best day possible for their engagement session. Unfortunately it was a freezing afternoon, but Kara’s mom offered her beautiful home in Bay Creek for a backdrop so we managed to not only have a great location, but were able to keep warm between shoots.

Schell Family Portrait at Home

Karen Schell wanted to have some lifestyle portraits made of her four children at home. I believe it is an advantage photographing children where they live and play because they instantly feel more comfortable. A lot of clients think that their backyard may not be up to par, but a patch of grass, group of trees or a flower garden can go a long way! Or another option is going to a local park that is familiar. I had such a great time photographing the Schell family! It was neat capturing each one express their personality.
