I am not sure why I am so drawn to the Botanical Gardens, but I really enjoy walking the grounds. It brings a sense of peace to me, and I could take many images of a couple throughout the venue. I have to time my shots with the setting of the sun, so my creativity is limited by Mother Nature. It was great to spend some time with these guys, and Nick just purchased a new Nikon camera with a few lenses. It was fun talking to him about my wonderful job. Amanda's dress was a perfect choice for our time together. Here are some I enjoyed editing:

I think when the weather is perfect, the Hermitage is one of the most beautiful spots in Hampton Roads. The day was perfect, and these guys were just a fun couple to work with from start to finish. I photographed the wedding of their good friend, Ashley, and she and Michelle helped with the logistics of the day. I enjoyed our engagement session a few weeks ago, and Amy has some of the most amazing eyes I have seen. Ok, you do too Jimmy, ha ha. This marks the last wedding before I go on vacation with my family, brother's family and parents. It was a fantastic way to close the next couple weeks. Here are some:

The sun was shining, steel drums playing, beautiful people.. How could I have anything less than a wonderful wedding. I enjoyed getting to know Mitch and Caitlin. I remember his mother speaking to me about a year ago and conveying Mitch's enthusiasm for reggae and Matisyahu. I knew I would love the guy... The beautiful voice of the Rabbi made everyone feel at home during the ceremony. The decoration and flowers were really something to behold. The tables were pinspot lit, and I was told the lighting guys worked from 12:30 am on Friday until 5:00 am Saturday at the Yacht Club to get things ready for the couple's vision. Pearl and Jessica also helped truly transform my favorite place to photograph. I really had a great time guys, and I hope you enjoy Mexico. Here are some faves:
