A little about Becca

Like most people I'm a lot of things, to name a few: I'm a wife to Andy and a mom to Tyler and the companion to my rescued Australian Cattle Dog, Braun. I have a passion for photography that just won't quit. I believe there is always more to learn and I take the time to continue doing so, through both reading and classes. When I'm not spending time with my family, editing pictures, at my full time job, I'm probably sleeping (gotta fit that in somewhere). I just celebrated a "big" birthday. I love spending time outside, I love it even more when it involves a mountain, a lift, and my snowboard, watching my dad yard sale across the mountain is just an added bonus. So now you know a little about me, and I hope to get know more about you. A little about my gear: I shoot with all high quality Nikon ditigal equipment. I have a main and back up camera, so no worries there. I also have off camera flash and some great lenses, everything I need to capture all those special moments. I edit all my pictures using my trusty MacBook Pro, Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop CS4. A little about this site: Instead of having both a blog and a website I have found an option that combines both into one. So please look around and come back often as you will be able to see my latest work through my blog below. At the top of the page you will find links to my portfolio galleries. I love comments so please leave me one. The picture you see of me being silly is courtesy of Andi Grant Photography. Thanks for visiting, hope to see you back soon

Lighthouse on the Cove ~ Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer ~ Christa and Bryan

Posted on October 25, 2009

Christa and Bryan were married on Oct. 17th at Lighthouse on the Cove in Virginia Beach.  They had a beautiful wedding which they celebrated with friends and family.  One of the things I love most about shooting weddings is the families of the bride and groom.  Every couple I have photographed has had wonderful welcoming families, it makes for a great day.  Christa and Bryan were no exception to this rule and because they both have a lot of family it made it even more special.  I have never seen a relationship so wonderful between divorced parents as I saw this day, you’ll see it in one of the last pictures.  I would like to send a special thanks to two people, the first of which is probably one of the best DJ’s I’ve worked with, Jay Johnson from Astro Dj’s, Jay was very personable and very fun, I would recommend him to any of my future brides.   I got to bring Shelly Simpson along with me to this wedding, we had a blast shooting together, thanks for everything Shelly.  To see Christa and Bryan’s complete galleries click here.

Please enjoy a few of my favorites

For those of you that follow my blog you know I love ring shots, this is probably my all time favorite, it’s the bright popping color, you would have never known it was 50 degrees out and drizzly that day!

    Bryan and Christa, these pictures are so beautiful and we can’t wait to see the rest of them. It sure looks like everyone had a great time. Bryan, I am very proud to be your mom and think you and Christa will be very happy for a long, long time. Paul and I love you both very much.

    The pictures look great; I can’t wait to see the rest! It was such a pleasure working with you both; you made my job so much easier. Your ability to capture the evening with a creative yet classic touch is perfect. I hope I have the opportunity to work with you again – I would absolutely recommend you to any of my brides.

    Christa and Bryan, What beautiful pictures. I prayed to God to Bless your marriage with many, many years of love, good health and happiness. I can not believe this is my little Bryan all grown up. Time flies that is for sure. I hope you both liked the wedding gift that I sent to you. Love always, Ms. Debbie (Barb’s childhood friend)
