Contemporary Arts Center Virginia Beach Wedding Photography of Jennifer and Derek
Posted on November 25, 2008
Derek & Jennifer got married at the Contemporary Arts Center of Virginia Beach on Friday, October 17th, 2008! We didn’t get to do portraits outside in the Sculpture Garden unfortunately because of the driving rain, but we made do in the Price Auditorium and went backstage for some bride and groom only photos on the great big grand piano. The Rodriguez Pavilion was closed up tight so we couldn’t do any photography in there.
It was a great wedding! Lots of fun had by all!
The guys wrote one of the most unique expressions on the getaway car that I’ve ever seen! I don’t think I should repeat it though!
Here is some of Derek and Jennifer’s wedding photography below, and following the photos there’s a link to a slide show where many many more of their photos can be seen at the Contemporary Arts Center:

Trash The Dress Bridal Photography of Shannon
Posted on November 24, 2008
Shannon has got some game! It’s a good thing too. It was pretty cold sitting there on a bench on the Virginia Beach boardwalk before sunrise, waiting for the sun to wake up the horizon. I never know for sure what kind of sunrise I’m going to be working with when I do Trash The Dress Bridal Photography. I’m not privy to that information. The only thing I care about is water temperature and wind speed. A little breeze is good. A LOT of wind is bad. Very cold water is bad, very warm water is bad (jellyfish!).
The pallet that a sunrise paints on is random. It cannot be predicted (by me anyway).
October 12th, 2008 was a very very very rare sunrise. The clouds were EXTREMELY dramatic, the conditions were perfect for an EXPLOSION of color on the horizon. The breeze was light, the water temp was not too bad.
Now, all I needed was a young lady in a wedding dress who wanted to get up REAL early to dive into the ocean in that wedding dress for the sake of art.
Well, Shannon didn’t have a problem with that. The problem was finding a dress to do it in. So, I got her in touch with a couple of brides that had done this with me in the past for some tips on finding the right dress for a trash the dress bridal session. Jenn and Addie hooked her up with the information she needed, and the gears were turning, and we were there.
What an amazing shoot. Samples below, and a slide show at the end so you can see the whole shoot.

I just love doing trash the dress bridal photography. It allows me to stretch my imagination and work under extremely difficult conditions. Wading out into the ocean with a very expensive camera trying to direct the bride and the person moving my light stand around on the beach is not for the weak of heart. It’s doing things like this that really lets me know why doing this for a living is such a gift, and why it’s such a passion for me. Thanks Shannon!
As promised click here for a slide show of the whole trash the dress bridal session
More to come very soon!

Virginia Beach Wedding Photography of Melissa and Tim
Posted on November 23, 2008
Tim and Melissa’s Virginia Beach Wedding took place at St Nicholas Catholic Church on Little Neck with the reception taking place at the Holiday Inn Greenwich Rd. In between the ceremony and reception, it was decided to make a stop at the Virginia Beach Town Center for some more wedding photography (as well as a few celebratory cocktails for the happy Bride and Groom!)
Tim and Melissa chose their wedding party well!
What a wonderful celebration it was! From start to finish, it was just a non stop party for a super couple!
Here are a few photos from the wedding, followed by a slide show with a TON of images from their wedding photography.
