This couple right here has ventured through this covid mess SO extremely graceful!
They ended up having to hop around venues some, but that didn’t stop them! They ended up having their wedding with their family and friends on the Spirit of Norfolk with getting ready and some portraits at the Hilton Norfolk The Main.
This was the one wedding that didn’t get moved from stupid corona! Thank God they planned a small wedding from the get-go! It was so good to get behind the camera preserving such a special day for my people.
We weren’t so convinced the weather was going to cooperate with us and I was so close to just cancelling the trip and shoot all together but then decided what the heck. I am SO glad …..
YALL!
Garrison and Amber are real troopers. It took us about 5 (at least) reschedules before we could get there session in. Between covid 19 and multiple crappy weather days, it FINALLY happened on the most beautiful day at the Moore House in Yorktown, Virginia!

Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you." Psalm 139: 13-18
Sarah and Matt made my week!! They were so full of joy, love and lots of laughs! Especially right now with limited contact and connection with others, they were good for the soul!
And not to say this isn’t a nerve racking time BUT we have to CHOOSE peace, CHOOSE joy, CHOOSE hope. WE GET TO CHOOSE fear or peace. What do you choose?
I have really been procrastinating this. I don’t know what to say, how to say it. And what is there really to say that hasn’t been said already? I have typed, deleted and retyped because I truly don’t have the words so I will just answer my current most commonly asked questions regarding COVID-19.
They have had so much thrown at them, but they are just so glad to be married!! First covid. Need I say more?! Ha! Then her poor grandma came in town and fell, making it not feasible for her to attend her wedding which is hard in itself.
These “punches” didn’t damper their day. It was beautiful. Sunny, not too hot and they had a party! Their venue, The Riverside on the Potomac was so lovely! Added it to my favorites!!
There were SO many special aspects to her day! She is the….
