Kelly became Mrs. Myrmoe back in April of this year… and as a gift to her Mom, decided to take some after-the-day bridal portraits. We headed down to the beach by her Mom’s house and got some really beautiful shots. All in all, we had a perfect sunset… the location was really nice (and a beach I hadn’t been to yet!)… and along with Kelly’s dress details, it all made for a really awesome session… Here are a few of my favorites from the day!!!

Alexis and Jason finally had their big day on August 13th, in Virginia Beach… and with all this green (which I happen to have a soft spot for if you haven’t figured that out yet by my logo) and the nicest day of all of this sweltering August, you couldn’t help but get beautiful photos… Here are a few of my favorites from the day. Thanks to Jeremy and Katie for coming out again!

Lindsay and Dustin tied the knot on August 7th at a beautiful church in Chesapeake… followed by their amazing reception at the Harrison Opera House in Norfolk. I have so many photos I liked I could barely pick which ones to feature on here… but here are a few of my favorites.

Thank you to Jeremy and Katie for coming out and helping me out again…

Lindsay&Eric! Norfolk Engagement Session.

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 03:45:39 +0000

Preface to this blog:
So, for those of you who are unaware… I have an intern these days… her name is Katie.
She is awesome.

Katie and I joined Eric and Lindsay out at the Botanical Gardens for their engagement session… and all I can say is man oh man, am I glad that we got as good of pictures as we did.
1- The lens I had been renting (and used on my camera both before and after this) kept coming up with error codes on my camera… nice. So, for the whole session I wound up using Katie’s camera…which by the way was sort of refreshing. It was interesting getting thrown into another camera body and not really quite knowing where all the gadgets and thing-a-ma-jigs were at.
2- It has been hot. Apparently, too hot. All of the flowers were dead. All of them.

With that being said… I did manage to get some shots I am really pleased with… learned it really is always important to have multiple camera bodies (don’t worry I always do! )… and even got Katie to take a few all on her own…

Here are a few of my favorites from the day…

And here are a few of my favorites Katie shot… (I’m so proud!)

trashed it! Virginia Beach “after-the-day” trash the dress Session.

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:18:04 +0000

So, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson (whose wedding I photographed last July) decided to spend their 1 year anniversary with me… how nice. I assume it was mainly because they have been talking about doing a trash the dress session since their wedding last year… but I also like to think it is because I’m just pretty cool. ha ha. I am so glad they drove back to Virginia Beach for the day though, because we got some amazing photos… it was so nice seeing you guys again! What are we going to do for your second anniversary? (just kidding!!!) I hope you love the photos as much as I do…

Here are a few of my favorites from the day…

Also, thanks to Miss Katie (who is my intern… and whom you will be hearing more about soon on here!) for helping me out that day and being willing to hold my reflector in knee deep water…

Mrs. Smith! Norfolk Bridal Portrait Photography.

Lindsay officially became Mrs. Smith Saturday, so I can post her bridals on here now… (i get so excited to post them… it’s hard waiting!!!). Originally we had planned on somewhere outdoors for her bridals… but when the heat wave came along, she was able to pull some strings (since her reception was being held at the Harrison Opera House) to get us into Chrysler Hall in downtown Norfolk for her photos… which turned out to have PERFECT light at the exact time we were there… and her dress is pretty amazing as well.

Be on the lookout for the wedding ones soon. They are pretty awesome.

Sara&Larry. Virginia Beach Portrait Photography. Engagement Session.

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:56:28 +0000

So, I went a tad but image crazy on this post… I just couldn’t decide on which ones to use… so, I decided on a ton. (In reality, I literally could have used all of them… they photograph so well it’s ridiculous… can’t wait for the wedding pictures!) We met up near the bay in Virginia Beach… one of their favorite places (and it just so happens to one of mine as well… guess that happens when Sara and I went to the same high school… same stomping grounds) and took a bunch of photos. They were all for the candids… (my kind of people)… so I got a ton of shots I loved.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day… (be sure to check back in October for their wedding photos… it’s going to be gor-ge-ous!)
Congrats you guys… can’t wait for the wedding!

Lorin&Billy. Virginia Beach Portrait Photography. Engagement Session.

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:49:09 +0000

Lorin and Billy are getting married down in North Carolina in late September… but our schedules finally just matched up to fit in their engagement session. They drove up here from just over the border in North Carolina so we could get some indoor shots (Hello, heat wave 2010… you are causing issues with my scheduling. Thank you for the break in 110 degree temperatures. I appreciate it.) but it wound up being pretty nice outside so we shot some around outdoors as well… I have to say for not getting your photos taken since Elementary School… you guys did pretty well!
Here are a few of my favorites from the day… Can’t wait for your big day!

So, being a Navy brat AND a Navy wife… I decided being a photographer for oplove was def a thing I needed to do once I started my photography business back here in Virginia Beach. Unfortunately, I don’t get to do too many OpLove shoots these days because I am so busy, so I am always so excited when I get the chance to do one. I had to take my name off of the actual list, but I am still an associated photographer- so if you or someone you know are interested… let me know! I just couldn’t field all of the requests I was getting through the website anymore…

I was so excited to be able to capture these memories, because in a weird turn of events, I actually wound up knowing this family who had contacted me through a referral from someone else… I walked down the aisle with her husband in my best friend’s wedding… small world, I tell ya, small world. Either way… I am always so honored and happy to be there for these moments… there is always so much happiness and love and you can’t help but get these awesome emotion filled shots.

Welcome home, guys…
here are a few of my favorite shots from the day!
