There are seriously not enough words for how grateful I am for this couple.  I took pictures for Tatiana and Kevin in 2012 when I was just starting out.   I was working for donations only, and yikes, I had so much to learn!   We took some holiday pictures; I can still remember the shoot like it was yesterday.  I fell in love with their adorable daughter Ruby, and I still remember that I struggled with the low light, and getting my images sharp.  I loved working with this family so much, but little did I know that they would ask me to capture their wedding the following year.   They trusted ME, my first official year in business, to capture their wedding.   I will be forever grateful to them for this opportunity because let me tell you what…. their wedding was amazing!!!   

So Tat and Kevin got married at the beautiful Back Bay Farms, an up and coming wedding venue in Virginia Beach.
DJ Endless MIC Entertainment,
Catered by  Primo Ristorante.
Tatiana’s dress is consignment from Brides Against Breast Cancer!

Everything else at this wedding was totally DIY!  Talk about AWESOME!!!   The details, activities, ceremony, everything was incredible.   There was cornhole, putt putt, sunglasses for the wedding party, and whole lot of fun factor!!  I had such a blast trying to capture every bit.   Tatiana is seriously amazing at styling and her DIY talent is off the charts!  Keep an eye out for her because I think her secret is out and she might be soon breaking into the business!   I know I will be collaborating with her in the future!!!

Thank you to my awesome second shooter Sami Proctor!  Make sure you go check her out and like her page.   Especially because I was shooting at 33 weeks preggo, Sami really saved my life!  She ran back and forth for rings, let me put heavy equipment in her bag, and she got some great shots!
