Sarah's Bridal Portraits // Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer

Gah this was such an amazing day! The light was perfect, Sarah was gorgeous, and the chilly weather just let us add a pop of color to a white dress. I'm so glad I can share these, and provide inspiration to you if you're thinking of getting bridal portraits done!

If you don't know what they are and why people get them, bridal portraits are pre-wedding portraits of just the bride. This way, you can make a big print of your favorite and put it at the reception on your big day! I truly wish I had thought of this when I got married - after all, my wedding dress was my favorite dress ever, and I only got to wear it once!

Sarah was absolutely gorgeous, and a pro at posing. It doesn't hurt that she's actually a photographer as well, so she knows a thing or two about how to work it in front of the camera. Enjoy bridal portraits from a chilly but gorgeous day!

Jen & Ivan's Anniversary Shoot // Virginia Beach Photographer

Several months ago, I got to do something I've never done before. Jen and Ivan have been married for several years, have kids, etc. But they were never able to get portraits taken on their wedding day. It was rushed, they were tight on money, and so they don't have any pictures to remember such a special day.

That's where I came in! Jen got in a beautiful wedding dress, and Ivan got all suited up, and we headed to Red Wing Park to relive their wedding day so many years ago. It was such a sweet moment. We re-enacted a 'first look,' and then walked all around the park during sunset for some beautiful portraits.

Jen and Ivan are still so in love with each other, and they were beyond giddy and excited to get the opportunity to take pictures, even if it was a few years later. I think this was such a great idea, and I'm so blessed that I was able to be there and witness the strength of their marriage and the joy they now share in their lives together.

Jen and Ivan, it was so great to meet you, and I'm so thankful that I could be your photographer! May you have many more years of happiness and life together.
