Dana and Matt October 12, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

Dana and her friend Kristen came to me because they wanted to have an amazing wedding but Dana was also opening her own business at the same time and knew she was going to be limited on time. 
Dana and Matt had first selected a venue but then fell in love with the Chrysler Museum!  Dana was so easy to work with, she has such a warm heart.  It was nice to watch the two of them have their “first look” together.  The way Matt looks at her is amazing and you can see her heart warm more when he is around.      

Dana now owns North End CrossFit on Pacific Avenue!  This gym is amazing, even if it is your first time working out or you already workout you will LOVE this gym!  I have been a member know for a month and I am hooked!  Start now and I know by summer you will be loving the way you look in a bikini or your wedding dress! 

Thank you to Roger at Astro DJ, Astro Entertainment for the photobooth and uplighting, Stage Right Lighting for the pin lighting and gobo, Chrysler Museum, and Sam Hughes Photography!

Channa and Mike…their first date, was a wedding…Mike had asked Channa if she would like to be his plus one.

They had a long distance relationship that was strong for many years, with many more to come. Channa lived in Maryland and Mike here in Virginia Beach, it was only a few months prior to the wedding Channa had gotten a job in Virginia Beach and moved back home.

Channa and Mike had a romantic ceremony with a beautiful reception to follow at MOCA. While taking pictures on the bridge at MOCA an “odd” man stopped riding his bike right behind Channa while she was taking her bridal picture. We all looked at him and asked him kindly if he would not mind moving. He said no, that he could not breath, very strange. Then two cops on bikes came by and the “odd” man quickly jumped on his bike and was gone. I think his breath came back pretty fast. Something I think Bill from On On Digitography, the couple and myself will always remember. 

Lauren & Bill Enchanted Wedding

As a child, Lauren dreamt of having an Enchanted Butterfly wedding day. It was so much fun to see her dream come true! Lauren incorporated butterflies throughout the entire celebration. Her bouquet was a butterfly surrounded by flowers, the centerpieces were adorned with sparkling butterflies, and even her Godchildren were dressed as fairy butterflies.

I first met Lauren, Bill, and Peggy (aka Mom) at Something New when I helped them select their save the dates and invitations. Lauren had seen how much her Mother put into her sister's wedding and how busy she was throughtout the day. Lauren wanted her Mom to be by her side all day, and to relax and enjoy the wedding. At one point during the recpetion, someone had asked Lauren how she was doing, she had a big smile and said "this is just amazing, I am having such a great time". I knew then that I had made Lauren's dream come true.

Lauren and Bill own Meyer Fitness, so it was fun to see this fit, field hockey, tough-girl become a princess on her wedding day. Bill was the comedian of the group, you never new what he was going to come up with at each meeting. Let's just say...our appointments were never boring.

Thank you Cari Photograpy.
