Williamsburg Virginia Wedding Photographers
First of all: Joy and Brian are married!!! Whohoo!!!
This has been a long time in the making. Joy and Brian are just meant for each other, and everyone knows it, too. They are genuine, funny, smart, ridiculously good looking and absolutely crazy about each other. They just bought their first home together and love spoiling their little princess, the sweetest teacup Yorkie, Dani. They are hard workers, wonderful friends and loved by all of Gloucester. (Which also made for a wonderful crowd of people at the wedding!)
Joy especially has really poured herself into the wedding preparations. She had such a clear vision of her big day and made it come together beautifully with the help of amazing vendors, like the fabulous Kat from Dear Sweetheart Events. Isn’t the lemon-lime theme delicious? Ford’s Colony Country Club in Williamsburg, Virginia was the perfect backdrop for their wedding!
Over the past year, we were blessed to get to know Joy and Brian, not only on a client basis, but as friends (they also make a cameo in our video). When we needed help moving furniture on a weekend, they were the first to respond. That’s when you know you’ve found a friend!
We have fallen madly in love with their humor and their love for each other! And we are absolutely thrilled to share their wedding photos with you.
There is so much more we could write about Joy and Brian. But nothing says it as well as the look on their faces – the love in their eyes – the passion in how he picks her up and spins her around. We want to these photographs to be a true celebration of Joy and Brian.
Guys, it was such an honor to document your love story! Joy and Brian, thank you for welcoming us into your hearts over the past year and we hope these photographs are half the blessing to you that you have been to us!
xoxo, Michael and Carina
PS. Be sure to continue down to the end for a surprise!
