An intimate and classic Historic Church wedding in Virginia Beach VA

Elliott

and

Julie

These two souls were meant for each other and you can tell the moment you see Elliott look at his new wife, Julie. I was honored to work with them on their wedding day. (Along with their sweet pup Wayne who was a great supervisor during my bridal prep shots) Julie began her bridal day at her mothers house with her family nearby. Once final touches were set, the girls head over to the historic church for the sharing of vows.

A small group of loved ones gathered in the cozy historic Lynnhaven Presbyterian church (which is probably one of the most gorgeous churches I have ever photographed!) Its dark wood ceiling, arches and stained glass windows are never to be forgotten. The couple shared smiles and laughs and then were whisked out of the church in a sea of bubbles. The thoughtful couple surprised their ring bearer and flower girls with a limo ride to the reception dinner.

They ended the windy chilly November night dining with guests in the romantic candlelit room downstairs at Steinhilbers restaurant. It was a gorgeous evening for a great couple.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Briggs!

Desert Rose Fall Wedding at the Delta Virginia Beach VA

Nate

and

Kaitlin

Nate and Kaitlin’s Fall wedding was absolute perfection! The couple’s magical day began first thing in the morning with a pop of champagne, hair and make-up for the bride and her girls. Early afternoon, guests began to arrive and await the arrival of the wedding party.

The traditional ceremony was held at St. Johns the Apostle Catholic Church. The moment Nate saw Kaitlin for the first time, walking down the aisle, was a game changer. You could feel their love emanate throughout the church!

Post ceremony, the party continued as guests and family transitioned to the Delta Marriott for cocktail hour and the reception. Guests were surrounded by pink uplighting and a breathtaking view of the sunset sky that evening. The newlywed’s danced the night away and even snuck in a little Lolly’s Creamery on the dance floor, with the best flavor EVER, night surfer.

The evening wrapped up with a sparkler exit onto the Bay. The night ran smoothly thanks to the coordination efforts from our ladies with Sunkissed events.
