Crystal + Lannin : The Couple Who Predicted the Fun | Virginia Beach Wedding Photography

You can't help but smile when you see Crystal and Lannin together, side by side. As we learned at their engagement session, these two complement each other in most every way. She has one of the most beautiful (and hilarious) hearts, and he has a devotion that's something wonderfully fierce.

Lannin has a long-time connection (and a major love of golf) with Signature at West Neck so it was practically a necessity that it was to be their wedding site. If you've seen the grounds and landscape, you'll totally understand why Crystal was in love with it as well! (And let's be real. The golf carts and shenanigan potential make it kind of awesome.)

Despite the whoa crazy humidity, their special day was nonstop fun and filled with exuberant celebration. There were special touches with the hilarious photo booth props that many guests ended up wearing during the reception, the memorial magnolia flower for Nana and her necklace nestled in Crystal's bouquet, a favor donation to Edmarc Hospice for Children, and even a hilarious "garter" surprise just for Lannin. ;) I'll let her tell you that story. Let's just say the lacy accessory soon became its own prop to a lot of the bridal party (especially the groomsmen) throughout the evening! :D

Crystal, remember what you first said in your very first inquiry to me? "We will be getting married at Signature at West Neck with about 150 of our closest friends and family there to party with us!" Mission accomplished. :)












Because Crystal and Lannin wanted a day-after session, I thought it was only appropriate to stick some sneaks in this bride and groom post. It was wonderful just to have more time to devote to just celebrating them and... heck, those awesome ruffles. ;)









Many, many thanks for Valerie for second shooting with me! :)
