Danielle and Nate October 15, 2011

Danielle and Nate had been so much fun to work with from the beginning. Danielle is a laid-back kind of bride. She knew she just wanted it to be pretty; that was the most important thing to her. I do think her request came true for her.

On the wedding day, the both of them were so laid back. On a preschool table, Danielle was just smiling and waiting, while Nate’s groomsmen sleep in a small room with an 8” TV watching a football game. We enjoyed listening to Nate while he told us how he proposed to Danielle. The love he has for her is amazing, the love the entire family has is so strong!

They were married in Danielle’s family church in Portsmouth, and then celebrated with a fun filled reception at the Chesapeake Marriott.

I already miss our daily emails back and forth.

Tiffany and Kyle November 20, 2010

Tiffany and her dad first met with me just a few months prior to her wedding. She was so quiet and easy to decide what she wanted. Both her ceremony and reception was held at The Founders Inn and Spa.

What a beautiful day both Tiffany and Kyle had, the weather was warm and just perfect to have the ceremony outdoors! The centerpieces were simple, yet so beautiful, all the guests wanted to take one home. I had to hide one just so the couple could take one home for themselves.

Tiffany’s mother spent a lot of time with the details of the wedding cake. For someone who has not made a wedding cake before, you could not tell. It was not your typical white wedding cake but it was what the couple wanted. It was amazing and the guests talked a lot about it throughout the evening.

Kelly and Chris October 16, 2010

I first met Kelly over five years ago when she was a bridesmaid in a wedding I was coordinating. Her mother had asked for my card because they both knew her sister was getting engaged really soon. Within two months, I received the phone call that Kim, her sister, was engaged. Well this is how it all started with a great new family I have joined!

Kelly first met Chris just a few months before her sister’s wedding. After a long series of bad dates, Chris broke the streak. Kelly always imagined her wedding day as a little girl; I do believe her dreams came true.

Kelly and Chris had their ceremony and reception at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. The ceremony had a romantic glow in the room from Blue Steel Lighting, with everything decorated in black, white and touches of green. The reception was stunning with alternating linens, floral arrangements with black feathers, flavored popcorn favor station, chocolate fountain, midnight snacks and Hotcakes Band having everyone on their feet all night long!

Looking forward to sharing pictures from Dana Duncan Photography!

Kara and Jose October 9, 2010

This fall wedding season, I have been very blessed with wonderful couples and families! Kara and her mother met me and hired me immediately, that same evening I received an email from Kara. She was already expressing the stress relief both she and her mother felt. She could not believe how fast I replied and accomplished tasks; I was happy to know that I was already making her wedding planning enjoyable. Kara and Jose exchanged vows in her home church in Hampton; it was beautiful inside and outside. During the ceremony, Kara and Jose gave his son, now their son, a very special gift to remind him that he is very important in both of their lives. The reception followed with a trolley ride to The Chamberlin. It is always wonderful to see almost all the guests dancing all night and I mean all night!
