We arrived early on the day of the wedding at two separate locations in Sandbridge on Virginia’s Atlantic coast.
The “groom’s house,” and the “bride’s house,” which also happened to be the reception venue.
The groom was nowhere to be seen at his location- he was busy delivering a special present to his soon-to-be bride: a silver jewelry box, engraved with her name.
The bride and her girls finished up last minute DIY projects before the bride’s sisters, aunts, cousins and mom surrounded the bride to help prepare her for the big day.
At the groom’s house, there was a lot of joking about what the best man’s speech “could have been,” mixed with moments of quiet and excited anticipation.

Eric and Ashley. The day they’d been looking forward to since college had arrived.

The ceremony took place at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Virginia Beach..
After exchanging nuptials, we could hardly wait to get back to the beach before the rain started…
It looked like we might make it…
Then a downpour hit. It was so bad the streets completely flooded.
For a moment it seemed as if we might have to reschedule Ashli’s dream portrait session on the beach…
But someone up there heard our prayer…
And the rain went on for just a few minutes, and picked up again only when we left for the evening!
We had what turned out to be a great mix of sun and dramatic skies as a backdrop for our beautiful, and noticeably relieved, couple.
Eric and Ashley, as you begin your life together, we send you all the best wishes and thank you for the honor of joining you on your special day!
Safe travels on your honeymoon to Hawaii!

Ashley’s reception featured dozens of DIY projects which she labored on for weeks with the help of her mother.
The cake and cupcake were provided by The Lady of Cake.
Film scans coming soon.
