Let’s talk about flowers: Virginia Wedding Photographer

I have been wanting to do a flower post for so long and now that floral shops are in full design mode with the upcoming wedding season, I thought it would be good to highlight some aspects of how flowers will affect your wedding day photography.  I hate to make it sound so serious but to me it really is a serious matter.  Flowers have the power to make or brake your wedding images.  They can either set the tone for a wonderful day, or they can completely dash all joy to pieces if they are …

Sarah + Tyler Engaged: Virginia Wedding Photography

Picture this, I am sitting at my desk following up with brides and sending out my vendor referrals.  In the meantime within the course of the hour, I get an e-mail from Sarah and she was referred to me by one of my favorite florists Holly Chapple who happens to be doing the flowers for Sarah's wedding.  The only problem was I was booked already on her date.  I sent her the e-mail back expressing how sorry I was I couldn't shoot her wedding and I was really bummed because I wanted to work with …
