Downtown Norfolk

I just had a fabulous session in down town Norfolk with Ryan and Dotti! They are wonderfully fun, laid back, full of spunk and great style. Dotti is a downtown Norfolk gal, so we started on Granby street and wandered through the alleys and streets looking for fun places to photograph.  I think we were well rewarded for our efforts! What do you think?

Dotti and Ryan...you were amazing to photograph, so much fun and you looked awesome! Thank you!

Cheers,
Jessica

Kim and Matt

This is just a quick preview...I'm exhausted and flying to Newport, RI at 6am tomorrow morning for a newborn shoot!

Kim and Matt were absolutely wonderful. I can not express how honored I am to have photographed their very intimate wedding...I made the eighth person.  The rain haunted us all day long, but we had a bit of a reprieve for the beach photos.  Someone almost got dunked in the water. I won't say who ;)

Well, I'd love to write more, but I'm off to pack.

Thank you Kim and Matt for a lovely day.

Cheers,
Jessica

Gone To The Chapel!

Ellen and Tad are hitched!! It was a beautiful day with just a wee bit of rain and it didn't even mess up the Ellen's hair. Whew.... 

Ellen and Tad were wonderful to photograph and made my job such a pleasure. If all brides and grooms were like them, I just might take up wedding photography.

Here are just a few photos from Saturday  to enjoy.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hewit!  I hope you are having a wonderful time on honeymoon and hopefully you aren't checking email!!

Going To The Chapel

I don't normally do weddings, however, I made an exception for Tad and Ellen.  My dad's family, my mom's family and Ellen's mom's family all grew up together. And we are family... sort of...we have the same cousins, though we aren't technically cousins.

I digress. The first photo below was taken where Tad and Ellen fell in love in the backyard of a lovely little cottage on the outskirts of Charlottesville, VA. We had a fabulous photo session which started there and moved to Ash Lawn. Ash Lawn is the home of James Monroe, the 5th President of the US, and where their reception will be taking place. 

I am very excited and can't wait to photograph them on Saturday. Stay tuned for photos from the wedding early next week!

Cheers,
Jessica
