I couldn't be more excited for this sweet couple! Their 2019 wedding is going to be gorgeous right in the OBX at the new Vista Creek venue.

Taryn and Taylor met through their love for Baseball so Taylor had the perfect proposal planned! In 2016 they went to a Braves/Cardinals game, and that was where they first said “ I love you. “ So a year later they got tickets to go to the Friday night contest with postgame fireworks. Taylor had the ring in his back pocket for most of the afternoon, and hid it well Taryn said. When they arrived at the gates before they opened he asked to get a picture taken in front of the stadium sign. So Taryn’s dad took the picture as Taylor got down on one knee! Of course Taryn said “YES!!!”

Seriously Erika you are stunningggg! I had such a wonderful time taking these bridals for you at The Obici House. I truly don't think this blog needs many words. It is all about this beautiful bride, and her portraits before her big day! 

Taylor and Tyler have been together for three years, and met through friends. They quickly knew that this was it. Tyler proposed in Charleston, SC after the two took a romantic horse and carriage ride. Tyler had someone take a photo of them in front of the Pineapple Fountain where he got down on one knee. Taylor said it was the perfect evening!

Each Engagement Session is different, and our couples always have their own ideas that they want to incorporate. When I started going over the details with Amanda she began sharing some really neat ideas that they were hoping to include in their photos. So we began to plan the best location, and prop ideas for their photos.

Loved being part of Paula and Kyles gorgeous oceanfront wedding day! Paula said " She had always dreamed of a wedding on a beach." Her dream certainly came through on May 25th 2018.

It has been such an incredible wedding season with so many amazing couples! I always say our brides and grooms are absolutely the best. They are so kind, joyful, and completely head over heels in LOVE with their grooms.

Today Liam asked if we could go to Toy’s R Us when I put him in the car to go run some errands. I said " no buddy.. not today. He said " Is it closed? It's ok it will open again. " In his little heart it was just closed for the day, but like Target, Best Buy, etc... it would surely open back up tomorrow. Oh never grow up my sweet Liam. Always be a Toy’s R Us kid.

Such an amazing day Chris and Meghan had! Hunter and I just did video for their wedding day. We had a great time working alongside Andrew and Tianna who did the photography. Meghan was so creative in their theme for the day. She had a travel theme, and all through out their details she included that. With Chris being in the Military and needing to travel it truly made their day uniquely theirs.

When I first met with Megan and Austin we had such a great time talking about all their plans for the wedding day. We met at the cutest little shop in Downtown Norfolk called Hummingbird Macarons. A wedding consultation over one of my favorite desserts is a new favorite for me! 

What a beautiful wedding day Claudia and Derek had. It was our first time at Ford's Colony, and we definitely already can't wait to be back!

Nicole and Chris's DC Engagement Session will always be one of my favorites! The elegance that Nicole created in the theme of their photos was just classic. Her deep purple dress with a pair of red bottom heels next to Chris in his black suit was completely stunning! Nicole looked like a total supermodel!

It is officially busy season for us! Weddings and engagements are surely filling up our weekends and weeknights. When Austin and Megan's Engagement Session came around I was so happy to have a beautiful Spring evening for them.

The Barns at Timberneck is a hidden gem in our area for sure! We loved shooting there, and it completely brought the rustic vision to life that Morgan and TJ wanted!

This was such a fun Engagement Session! I absolutely loved capturing our couple enjoying something they share together!

We can’t wait for their July wedding at Half Moone in Norfolk!

Such a fun afternoon in Richmond with these two! I have never been to Belle Isle, and I definitely will be going back! Gorgeous place with some incredible views on the water. 

Stacie and Josh's wedding day was just perfect to kick off our 2018 wedding season! They had a small intimate wedding with just close friends and family at the Founder's Inn.  The whole day was filled with emotions and joy. Stacie and Josh have been through so much together. Each part of the day brought waves of emotions. From the daddy and daughter First Look all the way to the First Dance I was trying to make sure I could see through my lens when watching them all tear up. 

As we began planning the vision for this Styled Shoot the main thing we knew we wanted was snow! We were very excited when the Wintergreen Resort was happy to have us come and shoot at there snow covered mountain top.

To end our 2017 Wedding Season we had the most unique wedding we have ever had the opportunity to be apart of! Our sweet couple, Britni and Phil, had their first date at the Military Aviation Museum. It was the perfect place to come back to, and say their " I Do's. " Phil worked as an Plane Mechanic there for many years, and the place shared so much history and memories for them. 

Abi and Brandon had the perfect little wedding ceremony in their home with their close family and friends. Then they met up with me to capture some Wedding Portraits at Lynn Acres.  

I had one very special Engagement Session to end our 2017 year. Hunter has known James for several years now. They both served on the Army National Guard's Honor Guard, and became good friends. Brittney and James wanted to schedule their engagement photos to announce the recent proposal, and also before James deploys in January. 

We had the best time for our Christmas Mini Sessions this year! We are so grateful to everyone that came out to Amazing Grace Stable to make these so special.

Brenna and Blake are Middle School Sweethearts! How amazing is that?!? With Hunter and I being High School Sweethearts I was just in LOVE with their story when I found out how long they have been together. Every wedding day is unique and special, but the whole day was just filled with so much joy and emotions from everyone. The day had finally come to see these two become husband and wife as they were always destined to be.
