Amanda and James are a fun loving couple and on their wedding day, touches of their playfulness could be found everywhere. Amanda chose a beautiful flower patterned wedding dress with a small, scooping train with a small rhinestone belt accent, but it were her bright pink Converse high tops that stole the show. The floral bouquets were multi-colored and the bridesmaids all wore orange dresses that were all styled differently for every girl. The first of April was a little chilly by the ocean for photos, but the couple happily dealt with the temperature as we took photos with a sunset as the backdrop, the wind sweeping the reeds in the sand only adding to the stunning detail. Kings Creek Marina provided a great location for other photos earlier in the day, and the couple enjoyed a bright and sunny day at the waters edge taking photos with their wedding party, all laughing and smiling. The bright blue of the marina's exterior only added to the photos with a pop of color against Amanda's white dress and James' grey suit. At the reception, touches that represented Amanda and James could be found all over, from a little Lego diorama featuring the couple outside of a house, to a large J + A that was done with differently colored Lego pieces as well. Even their cake featured an adorable Lego bride and groom, and had orange colored Lego pieces made of fondant circling the cake. There was even a fantastic sundae bar for guests to partake in before taking to the dance floor and joining the newlyweds as they danced the night away with their wedding party.
Congratulations Amanda and James!

#latergram #cute #love #signs #instagood #picoftheday #lifeofaphotographer #weddingphotographer7/16/2015 A tale of two people who met working together a couple of years ago and fell in love, Liwen and Russ tied the knot in mid May. The couple, both graduates of the College of William and Mary, married at Sunday Park in Richmond, Virginia. The stunning location is popular with weddings given its beautiful outlook onto the water, offering unrivalled views. We were able to head down to the boat docks while the water was calm to get a couple photos of the happy couple holding hands and taking in the scenery with one another, the smiles never moving from their faces. Liwen, who is from China originally, had the opportunity to gather her family for the nuptials, many of them travelling all the way from China to be a part of or witness Liwen's wedding to Russ. The day was full of joy as two families met one another for the romantic ceremony and lively reception afterward. Both bride and groom were joined by their bridesmaids and groomsmen, and Liwen, with a beautiful lace-trimmed gown and fingertip-length veil, carried a bouquet of roses, accented by white flowers and bright pink stargazer lilies. Afterwards at the reception, guests were treated to their choice of cupcakes as the bride and groom shared a simple but elegantly designed wedding cake with one another before spending the rest of the evening mingling with family that came from both near and far to celebrate the love between Liwen and Russ on one of the most special days of their lives. Congratulations Liwen and Russ! |

Pictures were one of my top priorities for my wedding. I spent a lot of time reading through photographers and even contacting some. I was also pretty nervous, I had never been professionally photographed before. Crystal and her team were SO easy to work with and immediately took away the nerves. I trusted her completely and I am so happy I did. Cannot recommend enough! Ellen - Yorktown VA
If you're looking for an amazing photographer who is relaxed, has experience, and knowledge look no further. Crystal took our engagement and wedding photos. Not only were her photos amazing, but she is extremely responsive to messages and will even help you when planning your big day. It was important to us to work with a photographer who has experience with same sex couples, and Crystal and Casey did a great job capturing everything for my wife and I. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Emily - Nellysford, VA
