Brien & Aimee's Proposal // Suffolk Engagement Photographer

Oh my goodness! I'm pretty sure the title of this post speaks for itself. This week I got the absolute honor of photographing Brien's proposal to Aimee. I have known Aimee for a few years and Brien for a little less than that, and their story together is incredible! Brien wanted to surprise Aimee with a sweet proposal, and did it as any production tech at a church would - on video (sort of).

Brien had made a video in advance, and tricked Aimee into showing up at the Harbour View Campus of Liberty Baptist Church. Once she got there, some friends brought her into the Worship Center, where Brien had everything set up. He and I hid behind the screen so Aimee wouldn't see us, and he started the video.

The video was so sweet and talked about how much Brien loves Aimee and how he wants to be a part of her life, forever. At the end, Brien walked (I sprinted!) out from behind the screen, dropped down on one knee, and proposed. I'm pretty sure Aimee was saying yes by the time the last few words were out of his mouth ;)

Congratulations, Brien and Aimee! I'm so blessed to know both of you, and can't wait for your WEDDING in a few months and for your future together! I love you both!

Girls' Night In // Hampton Roads Photographer

Last Friday was the first - as far as I can remember anyways! - Girls' Night In for Liberty's college-age women. The theme of the night was Identity, and a lot of it centered around having a photobooth style area with crazy props for girls to dress up in and have their picture taken by a photographer rather than an actual photobooth camera. It was a lot of fun, even just in getting the pictures to look like they were actually taken in a booth! The girls were all great sports and there was a ton of laughter and silliness going on the whole night. 

There were so many other things, too, from manicures to Olive Garden to a chocolate fountain. It was a great night! The organizers did an AWESOME job decorating on a budget, and had the cutest centerpieces and little details that really pulled the night together. I hope you can see how much fun everyone was having, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

PS I'll also throw in a picture from the guys' night...I didn't hang around for very long, but they had a whole PIG to eat. :)

So disgusting, right?!

Liberty Fest 2013 // Hampton Roads Photographer

It finally came! My church has been working towards this year's Liberty Fest for so long, and it was all worth it last Sunday!  Thousands of people came to eat barbecue and fried chicken, stop by the funnel cake stand, ride some fun amusements, and race go karts on a track right in the middle of our parking lot! It's amazing to see such a big event come together every year, and it takes hundreds of volunteers to pull it off. The day couldn't have been more beautiful - I forgot to wear sunscreen unfortunately - and it seemed like everyone had a great time.

We wrapped up with giveaways, and I knew a few people that won. It's so fun to see their excitement, and the prizes (gift cards, iPads, Chick-fil-A for a year, and a CAR) are always fantastic. The winner of the new car this year was a 12 year old, and you'll see that his parents were a lot more excited about it than he was! If you live in Hampton Roads and were able to come, I hope you had a blast and if you missed out, be sure to come next year. Enjoy these fun pictures from a very fun day!
