Tragic Passing Of Recent Groom
Posted on September 7, 2008
It’s been a very tough week. On Monday I learned that Brian Keith had passed away in a tragic work related accident on August 30th, 2008.
Brian was the groom of the wedding I photographed on June 15th, 2008. I spent all last week working with the families to ensure that the imagery presented at the memorial service and funeral were taken care of.
Here’s a photo of Brian below.
It’s difficult to express my sorrow over this tragedy. My heart goes out to his wife Amanda and their very young son Gabe. It’s a devastating thing to go through, losing someone so young with so much of life seemingly in front. Nothing can prepare people for things like this.
I am grateful that I was able to help the families in my small way. Taking some of the worry over details out of their hands with regards to images and a very very long slide show.
So, say a little prayer if you pray, and tell the people you love that you do today.
Here’s a short version of the slide show. This one is only 12 minutes long.

Virginia Beach Portraits - Paul & Maria’s Engagment Photography - 6-1-2008
Posted on June 4, 2008
Paul and Maria are getting married at the end of August and wanted their engagement portraits done on the beach (my personal favorite place) so I met up with them on Sunday around sunset. Maria had been worried all day about the weather turning bad, but these beach portraits turned out WONDERFUL. The weather at the north end of Virginia Beach is so unpredictable with that wind coming off the bay that weather reports are pretty useless. Unless you’ve got a direct line to God, you’re just guessing.
Here are some of my favorite beach portraits from this session.

As you can see, Paul and Maria didn’t have any problem getting REALLY WET during their engagement portrait session. I got really wet too! The waves were awesome and there wasn’t any way to get the shots I wanted without getting wet, so I just got wet (running shoes and all). I see another Trash the Dress session on my horizon for Maria so check back for that.
I shot another bridal session at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens today, and I have another beach portrait engagement session tomorrow. (plus weddings on all the weekends!)
June is REAL busy!
