This Pleasure House Point & Chesapeake Bay Engagement Session was so much fun! I love it that Allie and Garrett incorporated their adorable golden doodle, Hercules, into their session! Isn’t he just the cutest? I always welcome pets at engagement sessions! During the prep emails I recommend that you bring a friend or family member […]

A Summer wedding at the Cavalier Hotel is perfect in every way! The beauty of the historic building, paired with ocean views and top notch service can’t be beat! The Historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club has become our home away from home and I’m perfectly fine with that! I love seeing this gem of […]

A Cavalier Hotel Summer Engagement Session never disappoints! Everything is green, flowers are blooming and the sun is usually shining. While it was a tad bit overcast this day, it sure did make the colors pop and gave us an epic sunset up in the bell tower (don’t miss that at the bottom of the […]

Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite!  I have such a blast getting to know my couples during this time.  It’s a chance to get comfortable with each other and gives us the opportunity to talk about the wedding day. 

The Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront was the perfect location for Amy and Joe’s wedding!  They were surrounded by so many loving friends and family members. 

They met at James Madison University at a fraternity/sorority mixer. Kaitlin and John were introduced through mutual friends. They were inseparable the whole night! The following day they went up to the mountains together and the rest was history! They dated a few more years throughout college.  John graduated from JMU a year earlier than Kaitlin. He began his career in another city while she finished school.   Long distance means they would alternate visiting each other every weekend.  Their four hour roundtrip drives and accompanying visits made their relationship that much stronger!

Isn’t this family beautiful!?  They are a blended family of 8!  They were so much fun to work with and I loved their Carolina blue, navy and white color palette!
