from the rehearsal dinner at Castle House

Guests received these lovely bags filled with VA goodies!

no better image than a beaming bride!

some of the gorgeous florals from University Florists.

the following image was taken by my fabulous assistant from the balcony of Lee Chapel!

the cocktail was held at the Lee House

still my favorite appetizer – bacon wrapped scallops

then on to Evans Hall with more stunning white florals!

The invitation and paper suite by Papyrus suited the “vision” of the wedding to a “T”!

fantastic meal as always from Joe and his crew!  No rubber chicken here!

I loved the peach favors – I used them for some pictures.

and end of the night at Evans Hall but NOT the end of the night!  This image is a perfect representation of the energy that was flowing when we all left Evans Hall!  (ps Terry rocked those stilettos the entire night!)

Enjoy the slideshow and…

and you can log into their main gallery at this link.

Well they just got married on a lovely summerish day in the south!

Congratulations!

more coming soon!

They had a beautful May wedding – see more details by clicking here to read the entire article!

Congratulations you two!

And here are the others promised!

Sheila from the event co is amazing!  You never have to worry with their team on the job.

Nancy’s “little” wedding day present from Heyward.

Nancy’s friend demonstrating the effectiveness of false eyelashes.  (and I have to tell you, they look AWESOME in pictures although they may not be the most comfortable thing ever)

The gals got ready at the lovely Magnolia Inn.

The Jimmys.

and the ring bling…

In the dress!

It was SUCH a gorgeous day!

The leading man of the event co, JF.

I cant decide which picture I like better of Nancy and her dad…what do you think?

I LOVE emotional weddings!  (my 2nd that day caught this one)

I get asked a lot (especially for my southern weddings) if I do bridal portraits.  Given time, we can do them on the wedding day.  or, I also offer a special package deal to my wedding clients.  I shoot them classically

and, not so classically.

I also try not to take too much time for the couple’s portraits but keep in mind, the number that you get is directly related to how much time we have to work on the wedding day.

The cocktail was held in and around the Alumni House.

and then they walked to Evans Hall for the reception.  The hall was amazing.. but why dont we just look at the pictures no?  First of all, the floral details…

and then an overview…

You will hear me say/write it again and again, NOTHING will have a greater impact on your photographs than getting a professional lighting designer.  (except of course getting an amazing photographer! )

and check out some of the details!

The food was superb as well!

About midway through the traditional western reception, we had a change to a traditional Korean ritual!

Nancy getting dressed again!

It was QUITE funny to watch the “aunties” try to dress the six foot plus Heyward!

Catching of the dates and chestnuts…  (how many grandchildren will they give their parents?!)

The groom often gives a piggy back ride to his mother and then his bride, symbolizing his acceptance of his obligations to both his mother and wife.  In this case, Heyward’s mom graciously declined the ride…

late night treats – sliders and home fries – YUM!

and near the end of the night.

Congratulations you two!
