Heather + Rob | A Church Point Manor Wedding

Every so often, you meet certain people who just seemed to be cut from the same cloth. The cloth that was woven with Jane Austen quotes, quirky humor, and love for animals. I loved their engagement session, but I have to say I loved their wedding more. But not because it was the vision of English garden-Jane Austen perfection (because let's be real, I kinda died all sorts of swoon)... but for its transformation into something only a novel could tell with these two cast as the hero and heroine.

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Those were the famous Pride & Prejudice words quoted by Rob in his wedding vows. It made everyone in attendance catch their breath with emotion because any true Austenite knows the magnitude and passion behind those words. Looking back on the beauty of Church Point Manor, the joy from loved ones, and the sweet adoration of her beloved, Heather has finally found her soulmate, her very own modern day Mr. Darcy.

Crissy + Charlie : The Couple Who Has Moves and Heart | Virginia Beach Lifestyle Fishing Engagement

The first words she ever wrote to me were, "Like you, I'm an old soul." Pretty much music to my heart. ;)

Crissy is such a sweet and kind person whose profession of being a newborn nurse exemplifies who she is. (Seriously, 2012 is the year of medical brides!) We could have been cut from the same cloth when God was doing His design work upstairs. From day one, she has always asked about Rusty and his nursing school progress and said if he needed anything to ask her. She's beautiful, inside and out, with the quirky sense of humor that ties most of us Bit of Ivory photo-fam together. (I truly think that's our common denominator!! Humor!)

And as if that medical-ness weren't enough, Charlie is an ER nurse with some killer dance moves. For real, ask him to pop and lock, and your jaw will drop at his awesomeness. He puts my cabbage patch to SHAME. ;)

When Crissy mentioned Charlie's love of fishing, I knew we just had to incorporate that into their engagement session, especially since Church Point Manor has a little dock area. It's the perfect lifestyle touch to make this particular session unique and special.

So without further ado, boy oh boy, does this ER nurse makes that newborn nurse smile to the moon. Both of them are simply glowing, and I cannot wait for their June wedding!
