Williamsburg, VA Wedding Photographer ~ Kristen and Jeremy Married!
Posted on February 9, 2010
Kristen told me she always wanted to have snow on her wedding. Wish granted my dear! It snowed buckets that night. When Kristen, Jeremy, and I met originally I asked them what the theme would be for their wedding and she said “winter woodland” they nailed it. The room was GORGEOUS! Kristen and Jeremy are both teachers, they both have the most warm/welcoming smiles, I would have loved to have a teacher with that kind of sincere smile. The love radiated between the two of them, it was an awesome wedding, and I had so much fun shooting it. I will tell you that you will be seeing these two again (sooner rather than later), due to flooding in the area Kristen and Jeremy were forced to move their ceremony from the Historic Church at Jamestown to the Williamsburg Community Building, where their reception was held. Their caterer pulled it off flawlessly and everything turn out beautiful. We all were looking forward to the pictures in and around that glorious old church, so when it warms up a bit and finally stops dumping snow, Kristen and Jeremy will get all dressed up again and we will have a blast doing a “day after” shoot, something for ya’ll to all look forward to. Along for the day with me was my friend John Cachero, we had talked about working together for some time and this hopefully the first of many, please visit his blog to check out his pictures from this wedding.
There were lots of great details at this wedding and you will see them throughout the post… enjoy!

Kristen ended up getting a new dress a week before the wedding, here is her beautiful choice.

This picture just makes me smile, Kristen has amazing parents, Cindy and Richard, her bridesmaids where her cousin Tricia, her sister in law Louisa, also in this shot is the adorable Andi… you will see her again soon.

What a great spot for a ceremony

The happy couple

The flowers at this wedding were the kind that make you stop and take a second look, stunning absolutely stunning.

The new Mr and Mrs Stacy

Sweet!

A little off camera lighting to give this shot a more dramatic look

Kristen and Jeremy had the unique idea of using christmas ornaments for their guest book, pretty cool huh?

A more traditional ring shot

My most favorite ring shot, this was taken using the floor to balance the camera, this was shot at f/3.5, ISO 400, 1/8 of a second exposure.

Mommy, I’m ready to go now….

This beautiful cake tasted even better than it looked, and since it looked amazing… well, that says it all.

Kristen and Jeremy had a s’mores station, rock on!

Here is John doing his thing.

A little texture to mix things up, Kristen had the cutest facial expressions

Kristen’s brother Rich gave a toast that didn’t leave a dry eye in the house, seriously even I had to wipe away a few tears.

The reaction

Kristen and Rich’s dad during the toast

It didn’t take long for the night to turn right back to fun dancing

Andi and her mommy Louisa dancing, I love this picture, it just speaks volumes about the mother and daughter relationship, it warms my heart

Enjoying the festivities

Jeremy showing off his moves



Cutting that yummy cake


Rich and Louisa

They exited by coming through a big line of sparklers, it was pretty neat.

And here they are!

Kristen and Jeremy,
John and I both had so much fun, I look forward to seeing ya’ll soon!
Congrats,
Becca

Virginia Beach, VA Wedding Photographer ~ Grand Affairs ~ Cherish and Jeff
Posted on December 18, 2009
Cherish and Jeff were married at Grand Affairs in Virginia Beach on Saturday, Dec. 12th, in a beautifully sweet ceremony, their close friends and family surrounding them. I have to say Cherish is my most organized bride to date, I loved it. Another thing I loved was the way that Cherish and Jeff welcomed me with open arms, the relationships I build with my clients is the biggest perk of being a wedding photographer. Here are some of my favorites of Cherish and Jeff’s Christmas themed wedding. Oh, and on a side note, Special thanks to Robbie Hickman for coming out and shooting with me, as always it was a pleasure working with you. I have added the full size photos of each of the pictures in this post to Cherish and Jeff’s gallery, if you are interested in purchasing them you can click here. The complete set of their wedding photos will be available in Jan.
Cherish’s mom, Donna, is an event planner, her business is Foy Enterprises. Donna and Cherish did all this themselves, it was beautiful!

Love this dress, it was perfect for a winter wedding.

Rings and a Christmas tree…. perfect


I was so excited when I walked into the room, everything Cherish has told me about was there, and even more grand (no pun intended)

This garter is so Jeff, I have a feeling he was surprised

The ring belonged to her dad, she wore it down the aisle




Don’t the red dresses rock!

Too cute!

I love when a toast gets this kind of reaction


I also love watching other people while the toasts are going on, this is the brides sister Tammy


Tammy and her fiance Brandon are getting married in April…. guess who is going to be photographing their wedding


Cake!


So there is a funny story that goes along with this collage, if you were there you may in fact be laughing right now.

Tammy and Brandon again, they are just so sweet together I had to get one more

I do believe this was during the Cupid Shuffle, I also do believe I may have been out there going to the left, to the left… just a warning to my future clients I will probably dance a little at your wedding, mainly because I can’t help myself.




I would call this the garter toss, but it very much so aimed


During the reception Cherish came over and asked if I wanted to head to Town Center with them for a few minutes to get a few shots in front of the great big Christmas tree, of course I said yes… then jumped and down with joy after I walked away and no one could see me. I loved getting a few extra minutes of couples time with Cherish and Jeff… and I loved this tree.


And a goodbye kiss

Cherish and Jeff,
I had so much fun with ya’ll. I wish you the best in your marriage and look forward to seeing you in April (or June)
Fondly,
Becca
Williamsburg, VA Wedding Photographer ~ Kristen and Jeremy Engaged!
Posted on December 3, 2009
I’ve always had a love for history, Virginia history is my most favorite (okay so grammer not so much a strong point) Colonial Williamsburg for me is like Wonderland for Alice. The old buildings, the cool grounds, the gardens, more gardens, and more gardens. It’s all just awe inspiring to me. Hopefully Kristen and Jeremy didn’t get too annoyed at my giddiness, there I go with the grammer again. Anyways, here are some of my favorites from Kristen and Jeremy’s fall engagement session in Colonial Williamsburg. I am looking forward to their wedding on the 19th!
They are so sweet together and always laughing, which makes me smile

This may be one of my favorites of all time


Love the hands, that’s the Governor’s Palace above them

This is why I can’t say the other is my favorite of all time, because I’m soooo loving this one!

I will leave you with this collage! Can you guess what they are doing? More importantly can you guess who won?

I love fun couples… it just so happens that the two weddings I’m shooting in December are both with really fun couples. Here are Cherish and Jeff, they kept me laughing the whole time we spent together. I can’t wait till their wedding, it’s just a few short weeks away. It’s going to be awesome. I also have to say that Cherish is the most organized bride ever, and I love it. I can’t wait to see all her plans come together for her Christmas themed wedding. Here are some of my favorites.
