Williamsburg Photographer~Becoming Indian

I was driving down the road after a long week of shooting and a wedding in Montross, Virginia.

All day Sunday I had a creative thought come to mind. Not much comes to mind usually after such a taxing week. I do love what I do and love being able to create! The biggest challenge I feel for a Professional Photographer in these digital days, are the unending hours of post production when a shoot is complete. Definitely a difference from the film days... I have had the opportunity to shoot many great things the last 4 weeks straight. I will be posting them soon! I did want to share with you the idea I had and see what you think... This is Shannon, she just married on 6th of September 2010. Shan has a heart for the kids in India. She and her husband want to help the kids that are trapped in sex trafficking with no hope of any good thing. They want to help them get out and come to know what true and right love is all about. They are ministers and want to reach these kids, giving them an opportunity to have a future and it be a good one! My idea for this shot was to capture Shannon's amazingly beautiful green eyes! The "eyes are the lamp into the soul". I love her piercing, illuminated green eyes and was trying to capture the emotion behind these eyes. Shannon is getting ready to take the huge step in her life, living out her passion becoming an Indian Woman in an Indian culture. With the loving help of her amazing husband Sam, I believe they will be very successful! This is a face for National Geo!

Williamsburg Wedding Photographer~Williamsburg Winery

One could only hope to have the perfect wedding for their son or daughter! You wait a lifetime to see them marry! Royal weddings or those in Hollywood, would not have topped Jen and Michaels big day~ I have seen it all now! Jen and Michael have known each other since they were very little and never dreamed one day they would not only be best friends, but husband and wife. This was a story that only fairy tails are made of... I have to say the MOST BEAUTIFUL Bride on the planet looking prettier than a Princess... Michael was a pretty good Prince Charming himself! This couple shared so many things, from their love of friends and family, their passion for God, adventure and enjoying the simple things in life... one another's company and the joys of a great relationship. Jen and Michaels attention to detail, wanting all their guests to have the time of their lives made this special event not only spectacular but the event of the year! Jen began with all the preparations in Serenity Nail and Spa, followed by the wedding day getting hair done at Janet's Hair Salon. Pre-Wedding shots began for the ladies with planes and a red Corvette, thanks to Buz. The guys were working on their shots with a good friend and photographer Brad Howe, thanks Brad you rock!
I so appreciate so many of the Vendors! We were able to engage the NEW Williamsburg Photo Booth with Steven Daley. This was a HUGE hit with all the guests and made not only fun times for them but an album of hilarious memories for the Bride and Groom! Thanks Steven and Liz! All weddings and events should engage this New Venture as it will change the face of your event! Up lights were rented from Stage Right Lighting in Va. Beach and made a very nice reception turn into an elegant display of mood and emotion.
This beautiful little girl grew up right before my eyes and I am so proud of who she has become! This is my first born Niece and was honored to not only be apart of their day, but be able to capture their STORY and personality, the joys, and tears of the blessed union.

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!

Williamsburg Wedding Photographer~KingsMill ~Ford's Colony

From the beautiful KingsMill resort to a Ford's Colony wedding and reception, Lauren and Tyler experienced their dream come true! Lauren and Tyler met in High School and have been sweet hearts ever since. When I first met these two they were full of laughter, creativity, and there was never a dull moment. Great fun to work with. I have to say when Lauren first told me she was going to have purple hair on her wedding day with feathers and many more creative dramatic ideas... I was without words. Much to my delight Lauren more than pulled it off and with elegance and style! These two were a pleasure to photograph and what a great group of friends and family they had as their audience for their grand performance! Great color during the reception with shooting stars across the ceiling of their amazing reception, Danny Gray from Astro DJs helped everyone enjoy dancing the night away.
