Kerry and Rick January 7, 2012

Kerry first contacted me to help with setting up her wedding day at the Fred Heutte Center. At our first meeting, Kerry and Rick decided to do a custom package; they decided to do almost a full service package with a day of service as well.

When I first meet Kerry and Rick, they had the location. They only had a little done and less than two months to get everything perfect. My goal was for them to have almost everything complete before Christmas so they could enjoy the holiday’s with their children.

I helped design the upstairs of the Fred Heutte Center; they had a sit-down dinner for 70 guests. We had did long banquet tables with seating on both sides, it looked amazing! It was a nice wow for the guests as they walked upstairs.

The downstairs was setup for cocktail hour, dancing, photo booth and full of good times!

Everyone was having such a great time we extending the reception to keep everyone dancing on their feet!

Thank you to Danny at Astro DJ, Astro Photobooth, East Beach Catering and Dianna Casey Photography.

Andrea and Andrew November 5, 2011

I have to say this fall wedding season was filled with so many loving, romantic couples. When I first met Andrea and Andrew, I would smile inside to watch the two of them. Andrea is business professional, so our first meeting was professional, but Andrew would say something to Andrea, and I would watch her look at him with a smile or laugh as if her heart was melting for him.

At our first meeting, they both knew what they wanted, but did not know the direction to go. I helped them find the ceremony location at Freemason Street Baptist Church, then the reception at Town Point Club. Every detail was very thought out and things turned out beautiful!

Andrew’s son had a special dance prepared at the reception, everyone was laughing and enjoyed his performance. I have heard many toasts throughout the years, but his 13 year old son had given the best toast I have ever heard. He is going to grow up to be an amazing person!

I was a blast to work with Leslie Hartig Florist, Eleise Theuer Photography, The Rhythm Kings Band, and Abby at Town Point Club.

Rachel and Ricky September 18, 2010

Rachel and her mother were so wonderful to work with! The first time I met Ricky, he was in his sheriff’s uniform and told me he had a warrant for my arrest. Great way to meet the groom - after that I knew this was going to be fun!

Rachel married in her church, New Life Providence; it was a beautiful ceremony. Rachel and her mother did a wonderful job designing the layout.

The reception followed the ceremony at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel; guests were greeted with mimosas, as it was a morning wedding. During the reception a lady named “Pretty” sang a solo to “At Last,” her name described her voice perfectly; she is a truly talented woman. It was a beautiful solo; you would have thought she was lip singing the song. Everyone enjoyed the brunch style foods, with pasta, an omelet station, French toast, carver and so much more.

I will miss the talks her mother and I had, but I am looking forward to sharing pictures from MC Photography.

Nina and Antoine August 14th

Nina and her mother interviewed me sometime in 2009; over seven months later, I received the exciting phone call that they wanted me to help plan Nina’s wedding. I was very thrilled to be a part of this special day. With the wedding only eight months away, we got things moving quickly.

The warmth of the sun shining through the 30-feet glass windows greeted guests as they walked in to the Rotunda at the Half Moone in Norfolk for the ceremony. Nina was not only given away by her parents, but by her one and a half year old daughter as well. Their daughter was by their side as they exchanged marriage vows.

Soon, the wall to the reception opened and guests walked into a stunning room filled with tall centerpieces, candles, a chocolate fountain, a grand wedding cake, a violinist, and so much more. It did not take guests long to get on the dance floor.

Thank you MC Photography.
