Michele and Daniel November 9, 2012

 

 

 

 

Linda (aka Mom) and Michele had been directed my way from Irene at MOCA.  Linda was starting to stress about all the details and, most importantly, that her daughter was going to have the day to remember.  Linda was so much fun to get to know and work with, what a huge heart!  She would bring me gifts, as well as gifts for my kids, which they just loved! 

Michele and Daniel were married at The United Methodist Church on 19^th Street, with the reception at the beautiful MOCA.  The centerpieces made the room glow!  Palette of Petals did an amazing job designing the centerpieces and then adding different heights of floating candles.  As you stood back, you could feel the warmth in the room.

Thank you again Linda for all that you had done for me and my family!

Thank you to Palette of Petals, Myra Cakes, Shelley for catering, Macon Photography and Snack Bar Jones Band – you Rock!

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!

Chrissy and Scott October 13, 2012

 

 



Chrissy contacted me about three weeks prior to her wedding. She lived on the West coast, so our only communication was through email and phone; we had to get to know each other pretty fast.  Chrissy was incredibly organized, so I understood her vision right away.  She would email me both pictures and descriptions of every detail she wanted; trust me, there wasn’t ONE detail left out of their wedding day.  Even the shoes had a personal touch! 

Chrissy and Scott were married at Scott’s family church, Galilee, in Virginia Beach.  The reception was at the beautiful MOCA and her theme was ‘Halloween’.  Chrissy was very blessed to have a great friend, who lived locally, to help make a few of her centerpieces, décor, and candy station.  Everything was so elegant but so unique all at the same time.

Chrissy and Scott had a blast at their reception; in the short time that I got to know them, I had a lot of fun.  It was great to help pull in so many details and give the bride everything she wanted.   One of the many special touches Chrissy had was Jesse Chong. He sang and played the guitar for the first few hours of their reception.  What an amazing talent Jesse has!

Thank you to DCPD Photographers, Jesse Chong, Jeremy Videography, Montero Catering (YUM!), Broadwalk Photobooth and all the fabulous vendors!


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.
