Williamsburg Wedding Photographer~KingsMill Wedding

Here it is... the day that Caryn and Jeff had been planning for all year.  Their special and most important day was unfolding!  Outdoor weddings can always be nerve racking to plan, as one never knows if the weather will cooperate.  The weather was amazing,  everything just fell into place as hoped!  I met with Caryn and Jeff the beginning of the year to book their wedding then to start the process of creating their story.  We first discussed their e-session... they both love Williamsburg since they graduated from The College of William and Mary.  I wanted to photograph them in Washington D.C. as I thought it would be fun to do both.  They were wonderful and agreed to my proposal.  It is always great to do an e-session with your photographer as it allows you time to become comfortable with the camera and allows your photographer to get to know you better and capture your personality.
The Wedding day began at The Kingsmill Resort Spa where the Bride and Bridesmaids were having their hair and make-up done... then to the room for preparation for the wedding.  An elegant wedding, sweet ceremony surrounded by the most amazing view, flowers, family and friends.  When all the planning, time, and effort goes into a wedding like this, all that is left to do is sit back and enjoy celebrating the day!  Caryn and Jeff were great fun to spend the day documenting their new life together!  Thanks for entrusting this most important day to me!  Wish you all the best!

Colonial Downs~Faster Than A Horse Race! ~ Wedding Photographer

I have to say this wedding was truly FASTER THAN A HORSE RACE!  I am not kidding, we are talking the ceremony was about 2 minutes max!  A dream wedding for most guests, you think?  Actually, Cheryl put a great amount of time and effort into planning her Colonial Downs wedding!  She wanted to make sure those with health issues did not have to wait to eat... I don't know that any of them thought at the blink of an eye their beautiful grand daughter would be married and very happy too!  She and Andrew had an exciting wedding, great location, many friends and family, and it really was a beautiful wedding!  Congrats Cheryl and Andrew!

Here are some sneak peeks. I will have the links to the venders coming soon...

Williamsburg Wedding Photographer- Much to do! From the Mountains, Anniversary shoot, to Tea Party Rally shoot!

So excited and yet much to do yet... Let me see where to start.  An Amazing Mountain trip to the Shenandoah National Park on Skyline Drive.  The Resort called Skyland will be celebrating it's 75th Anniversary next year and am working with the Tourism to capture the breath-taking views.

Also, photographed two incredible people for their 20th Wedding Anniversary.  Carol is probably more beautiful then she was 20 years ago.  She slipped back into her wedding gown from that special day and time.  Mike also handsome, adoring his wife and game for the idea of creating that Day all over again.  These guys were great to work with making a warm day very picturesque.  From Historic Williamsburg to College Creek Beach.  Great emotion and fun to photograph!  Thanks for trusting me to make your new memories in print :D

Tax Day Shoot was a change of photography and pace... photograph the Richmond Tea Party Rally of over 5,000 people plus.  Very interesting actually!  Not an angry mob, not bigots or racists, not all that have heard them to be... just very concerned citizens for our future.  Seemingly all they want is little government and a future for their children and grandchildren.  Keynote speaker  Charles Payne was a man of integrity and character!  An Incredible American!  What testimony of his life and where he has come from and all the hope he spoke to the group.  Very inspiring!  Thanks Charles and nice to meet you and your beautiful wife!
