Adventures in Second Shooting: Michelle and Ronnie | Hampton Roads Wedding Photographer

In May, I had the opportunity to second shoot for Sarah of Sarah Ashley Photography.  It was my first time shooting with her, and had so much fun! The wedding was held at Grand Affairs in Virginia Beach in a very intimate setting.  Michelle and Ronnie had all of their closest friends and family there to celebrate with them, and as usual, Grand Affairs created a beautiful backdrop for such a sweet and awesome couple! 

Here are some of my favorites from the day. Thank you Sarah for allowing me to second shoot with you!

Adventures in Second Shooting: Kelly & Mikey | Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer

Amber's first wedding of the season, and my second. We're back at it again!!!  I ALWAYS love second shooting with Amber. We ALWAYS have fun together no matter what.  And let me just say, that Kelly and Mikey's wedding was awesome! They were married in the chapel at Grand Affairs, and their reception was right across the way.  After the ceremony, we hurried to the beach down the road from Grand Affairs to get the wedding party formals.  Needless to say, it was windy as heck, but they were able to pull it off in the short amount of time we had before the reception started. 

Throughout the night, there were tears, laughter, and a lot of dancing.  Of course, I got into the action with the bride and groom and their guests, and left with a sore throat and achy feet.  Thank you Amber for allowing me to tag along on another awesome wedding, and congrats again to Kelly and Mikey!!  Here are a few of my fave shots:

Adventures in Second Shooting: Katie & John | Hampton Roads Wedding Photographer

Shooting a wedding with my gal pal Amber of Amber Lewis Photography never feels like a job.  We seriously have so much fun it's illegal!  And this time, I got to second shoot the wedding of Katie and John.  The wedding was held on the beach at First Landing State Park and it was BEAUTIFUL.  Actually, beautiful is an understatement!  A lot of the décor was DIY by Katie, so I knew I would be having fun capturing all the details at the ceremony and reception sites.  The day of the wedding, the weather was a little uncooperative.  It was crazy windy, but Katie and John still pulled it off.

After the ceremony, everyone headed over to Grand Affairs, where the reception was being held at.  Amber and I walk into the reception room and see that our pals from Astro Entertainment were DJing, and thought, heck yeah! Anytime Astro is on the ones and twos, the reception is gonna be jumpin'! From the chicken dance to the money dance, DJ JJ Campos kept the party going until they had to kick us out.  Needless to say, Katie and John shut the Grand Affairs with their party rockin'!

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Roth!
