A Romantic Oyster and blush wedding at the Virginia Beach beach Hilton

Ethan

and

Anne

Meet Ethan and Anne. She is a school teacher who adores her chocolate lab named Beau. He is a Physical Therapist who adores Anne. While they both attended JMU, their paths did not cross until after graduation where the two connected on popular dating app.

Their first date was at a local beer and tasting room in VA Beach. They had to meet somewhere Anne was able to bring her four legged babe Beau because they are a packaged deal of course! If Beau didn’t approve, there would be no hope for Ethan!

They couple grew close over their favorite wine and beer and the conversation seemed to flow flawlessly. So much so, that Ethan and Anne had a second date the very next day.

Ethan’s proposal to Anne was simply perfect. He set up their living room with roses, a personal letter, and several pictures in the center of the room to surprise Anne upon her arrival home from work. In the letter, Ethan made it seem as though he was running a few errands and would be home shortly but that he had left an early Christmas present in the kitchen for her. (Little did Anne know, he was actually behind their kitchen door, already down on one knee holding the ring!) In Ethan’s words: “I said a few words, a few tears were shed, and she said yes!”

The two were wed in an intimate room overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the Virginia Beach Hilton. Anne is big into oyster restoration, so it only makes sense that the theme of the wedding was blush, white, gold and oysters! And we cannot forget the unique oyster garland accents and greenery which were absolute standouts.

I think I spotted every guest on that dance floor at least once dancing to band. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate Mr and Mrs Emmons!

Savannah

& Clay

Clay and Savannah first laid eyes on each other, or should I say ears on each other, in a school classroom. Clay was in the front of the class reading while Savannah heard him from another room. It was at that point she knew this was a man she MUST meet!

Their path to happily ever after began with a day trip to the mountains with Savannah’s parents. As the elevation increased, so did the couple’s fondness of each other. From there on out, the two would meet up after school in an attempt to get to know each other more.

A few years later, on Nevada Beach in South Lake Tahoe California, Clay dropped down to one knee, during sunset. It was perfect. Although, not much of a surprise! Clay was nervous the entire evening and kept grabbing his pocket! So Savannah new something was in the works. 

On the big day, Clay wore a navy blue suit and blush tie, Savannah wore a transcendent off the shoulder white dress. The two said ‘I Do’ during an intimate ceremony at the Flyway Lodge. Along with family, Ernie, the couples rescue boxer was also in attendance. Check out his ADORABLE dog tux! 

The love these two share is truly infectious! I am beyond honored to have been apart of this magical day!
