We were hoping for a bigger turnout, but it ended up being Carina, myself, Jennifer, and our gorgeous model, Kimberly.

We ended up having such good fun together!

Getting there in our little blue Prius was an adventure!

Our GPS decided that Jennifer’s house was not where she told us it was…

Being children of the 21st century, we decided to trust it…

… and almost ended up stuck in the mud in the middle of a cotton field.

Waverly is gorgeous, and there’s so much cotton! There are also plenty of roads through those cotton fields not designed with little hybrid cars in mind.

But we made it there safely to find Jennifer and Kimberly waiting for us in a  cottage which is dedicated to making beautiful images.

We walked around outside for a bit but the best part came inside-

The living room has huge windows. We also put Kimberly in a lacy dress and had her pose against a canvas backdrop.

Who says you can’t shoot indoors with natural light and a few rolls of film?

All of these were shot on film, either on Portra 400 or Portra 800, and for the indoor shots we shot mainly handheld at 1/30th – 1/60th of a second.

Thanks so much to Jennifer for inviting us out to the cottage! Hopefully we can have another film get-together and maybe get some more photographers involved!

Morgan is a Gloucester girl. Mark is a Gloucester guy.

They put so much time and thought into making their Gloucester Point Beach wedding spectacular…

But keeping it country, he wore sandals and she went barefoot.

Perfection.

When Morgan booked us, she said, “I knew when I saw your photos, you were my photographers.”

And we could not have been more blessed to meet such a wonderful couple.

When we photographed their engagement session, they danced with each other in front of the camera and kissed as if we weren’t there.

Morgan and Mark inspired us.

When we’ve needed inspiration, we’ve gone back and looked at their engagement photos.

Their love is what does it.

During their wedding, there were many moments which stood out. 

The dancing… the sparklers… the fireworks…

But none touched us more than when Morgan’s dad escorted his daughter down the aisle… and Mark took her hand..

And of course, the kiss.

Morgan and Mark, thank you so much for inviting us to take part in your special day. It was unforgettable.

Your love will continue to inspire us.

Megan and Matt have been together for a year, and it was love at first sight.

He’s a paramedic and a fireman – she’s a nurse.

When he proposed, he made the day “all about her.” Matt also had his best friend make these wood signs for them to announce their big day!

We met in Williamsburg for their engagement session and even though the infamous Hampton Roads bridge-tunnel delayed them, it worked out perfectly as the light got even better..

They’re getting married outdoors at the Lynnhaven House in Virginia Beach this October!  

Megan & Matt, we’re so honored to be documenting your love story! See you soon!
