Ashley | Virginia Beach Bridal Photography

I'm soo excited that I finally get to share these now that her handsome groom has seen his beautiful bride!

A few months ago, we saw the sneak peek of Ashley at Hunt Club Farm in Virginia Beach. Now you can see her whole stunning gown and accessories from Pure English. Her bridals were filled with wonderful props and signs, and any time I can get words in a photo, I'm all over that! Yay for words!

This is one creatively unique bride (just wait until you see the wedding photos once I get done with them!)! There can't be any doubt in anyone's mind that she's the perfect fit for a fashion and marketing teacher. :)

Meghan | Contemporary Art Center Bridals Sneak Peek

Any mention of an art museum, and I kind of get a little TOO excitable. Even though I'm an artist who loves her classics, I do have an appreciation for the clean lines and simple construction of contemporary art. When Meghan found out she could have part of her bridal portraits taken here, I think I scattered my fingers over the keyboard in a bit of a gleeful frenzy.

So at the bridal session, the joyful energy was great! Meghan made me laugh. Every time the word "married" was mentioned, her entire face lit up, and she did her own excited personall happy dance. Gotta love it!

Sadly, folks, we won't be able to see the rest of these stunning photos until after September when her groom gets to witness his bride coming down the aisle in the Rodriguez Pavilion at the Contemporary Art Center. I can't think of a better way to support the arts and have a sparkling wedding... WITH a Chihuly masterpiece.

Ashley: Sneak Peek from Hunt Club Farm | Virginia Beach Bridal Portraits

As I mentioned on Facebook, this stunning bride has encouraged a new love of Hunt Club Farm for me. And it's KILLING me not to share the rest... just simply wrenching my heart to pieces! Is that dramatic enough for effect that I have to wait until late June to share? :)

Michelle - The Beautiful Country Chic Bride

Now that Michelle is all good and married, I can share with you some of my all-time favorites from her bridal session last month!

To introduce Michelle to you, you must know what I associate her with... all things Americana, good ole Southern hospitality, loves her country and pearls, and downright spunky and beautiful. She went out of her way to make sure there was some sort of gluten-free option for me at her wedding! That right there shows us the size of her heart. She's become a great friend, and I'm truly honored that our friendship won't stop now that the big day has already passed.

(And for the crazy couple-- Hope you guys are having fun on your honeymoon!! I wanna see pictures when you get back!)

















We'll have her hubby's photos on the blog shortly since he had his own groomals, too! ;)

Sneak Peek | Michelle and Wes {Bridals and Groom-als}

I would like to proudly present some gorgeous bridals AND the first ever GROOM-ALS! That's right, take that, spin-on tradition!

Michelle came to me and asked for a groom's session along with her bridals because her suave-y groom was getting his military dress blues for his promotion. I fell all over the idea! How cool is that?! As Michelle said, a wedding takes two! It's not just all the bride! I thought it was really sweet, and it just confirms how glad I am that she's become a friend. :)

Since Michelle asked for a sneak peek (sans gown, of course), here they are!

And P.S. I do believe SGT. Wes may be starting a trend. ;) Who can resist a man in uniform?!
