Virginia Beach Wedding Photography: Erica and Jason

November weddings in Virginia Beach are great because there's just enough color left over from fall for outdoor pictures, the weather isn't hot, humid, or excruciatingly cold, and everyone just seems to be in a great mood with the holidays emerging and the year winding down.

High school sweethearts Erica and Jason had an outdoor ceremony near sunset at the Great Neck Park Gazebo and raging reception at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. This wedding rocked from the details down to the music at the reception. 

For more pics, check out their slideshow.  Kudos to Katie B for her mad skills as a second shooter... she took the groom's photos before the wedding as well as some of the ceremony.

Alena + Jason - An Engagement Session

Engagement Session: Alena & Jason

This past Sunday I met Alena and Jason at Goshen Pass for their E-session. We had a lot of fun jumping through leaves, laying down on dirt roads, and trekking across old wooden bridges... if anyone is in the Lexington area I highly recommend checking this place out.

The session was actually really cold, but Alena and Jason were great sports. This was probably one of the most adventurous sessions I've been on... we pretty much drove around the 3-mile stretch of road and stopped at whatever place looked interesting to us, which is pretty much a traveling photographer's dream. The area was gorgeous despite the early coming of winter and the lack of leaves on the trees.

It was great meeting the two of you and I'm really looking forward to your wedding next year! Enjoy this sneak peak of your session!

This is the old wooden bridge I mentioned earlier. As we walked across it, the planks below our feet were kind of popping up. I'm not usually afraid of things, but this bridge made me nervous. Alena and Jason were a lot braver than me though... Jason even took it upon himself to jump up and down on the bridge as he and Alena were crossing it. If Matt ever did that to me, I would probably push him off of the bridge...

Aren't they cute?
