Holly Ridge Manor Fall Wedding: Virginia Beach VA

It all began when Todd asked Rebekah out... the both were on plenty of fish. He was new to the area and figured it was a way to meet new people and Rebekah's friends persuaded her to join to get on the dating scene.

She was not feeling the dating scene at all and was ready to call it quits. Then a message popped out to her. It was Todd saying... Ice cream season is almost over and asked her if she would like to get some. This immediately stuck out to her through all the other messages because her mom calls summer, ice cream season. Rebekah decided to give it a go. They met at yardhouse for their first date. They quickly realized they both loved college sports, he was a football player and her a cheerleader, they were the perfect match. 

Now on to one of the cutest proposal stories I have ever heard. April 22nd, They had planned on going hiking with their pups Skyla and Scout. Todd told her he had to run some errands and go to the pool for training. Little did Rebekah know, he was meetin with a photographer to scope out the perfect spot to pop the question. Rebekah was giving him a hard time because she wanted to go to the park closer to the house. Luckily she agreed to First landing. 

Todd had stopped to grab his water bottle but when Rebekah looked, he was down on one knee with a ring in hand. She said yes and the rest is History!

One of the sweetest details of their day was the ice cream bar to honor Todd's first message to Rebekah for  "Ice cream season". Cheers to many more Ice cream seasons you two!

Austin Maternity session: Sunset Maternity session a Little Island Park Virginia Beach VA

UHMMMM Helllo gorgeous momma and family! I cant even stand all the pretty in these photos (clearly you can tell because I could barely narrow down my favorites!) I mean look at that epic sunset?! It was a gorgeous GORGEOUS day, no sweat lines and pretty skies. Now we wait for Mr Finn to make his debut! 

The Glisson's baby bump: The Narrows Virginia Beach VA

I have known this gorgeous soul since birth. When we were younger we always went on family vacations together and would see each other randomly at our parents work cookouts. Then life takes over and we did not see eachother until we randomly were down in OBX vacationing.

Then Andrew popped the question and brought Monica and I back together. (thanks Andrew!!!) 

From engagements to now their first baby, I have been able to watch their family grow. The moment Monica told me she was pregnant my heart almost exploded. This little boy is going to be smothered with so much love. I cannot wait to get my snuggles in!!! 

Valerie: Floral Hot air balloon newborn session

CHeck out this little ball of sweetness. Miss Valerie, a complete rockstar shall we say. She snoozed all through her Floral Hot air balloon newborn session (set up and all). Special thank you to Norfolk wholesale Florist and Jollity and co which helped our vision come to life!

Valerie joins two big brothers, who I have had the honor of photographing as newborns too. Its amazing how fast these little lovies grow!! 

A blushing pink sunset Sandbridge wedding

Demond and Melissa met on  8.23.03 at the Post office in Pittsburgh they both worked at.

They dated on and off for several years. After parting ways for a couple years they realized that there was no one else they would rather be with. These two ended up getting back together and tied the knot 14 years later on the same day!

These two traveled down to Virginia Beach along with close family and friends to witness their marriage. Wouldn't you know the WHOLE week was absolutely gorgeous weather, until Wednesday afternoon hit... their wedding day. Luckily these two have extremely great luck now because their Knot is super tight!

 Even though the dark thunderheads rolled in and lighting danced around the beach house, these two were able to exchange vows under their arch with the ocean as their backdrop here in Sandbridge VA. Fellow neighbors cheered them on from their balcony's and even set up a bubble machine as they walked down the aisle.

Melissa & Demond have three of the most gorgeous girls you have ever seen, Mariah, Gianna and Leah and their fur son, Max (who you can see sporting his tie during the ceremony!)

Demond still works at the post office and Melissa is now a home care Nurse.
