EmailCongratulations Kevin & Chrystal!
I received an e-mail from one of my clients, Kevin & Chrystal, welcoming their son Mason to the world! As you can see he's quite a keeper!
Back in January 2006 I had the pleasure of photographing Kevin & Chrystal's wedding, and I shot their engagement session a few months before then!
Please enjoy the image from their wedding and the picture of baby Mason from Kevin & Chrystal!
Best Wishes,
Michael
Trash the Dress
Brides usually spend a ton of money on their dress and rightly so! Then, after the wedding, they end up spending another ton of money having their dress preserved so they can keep it in a box and stick that in a closet somewhere.
Hmmmm.
Maybe a better idea is to TRASH THE DRESS! At least you'll get to use your dress again AND get some awesome images while having fun!
Check out this TTD session I did with several other incredible photographers in the area about a week ago!
Best Wishes,

Brad & Alison Are Married!
I had the wonderful priviledge of photographing Brad & Alison's wedding in Virginia just a couple weeks ago. I love their families - they are so much fun and always treat you like family!
The girls got ready at The Hotel Roanoke, and after a ceremony at St. John's we headed over to the Corinthian Ballroom for the reception, but not before having some fun photographing out on the streets!
I need to say a huge thank you to my friend Michelle Dalton who was my second shooter for the day. It's always a pleasure to work with you! Also, thanks to Greg Beecher from Memories Events for another great wedding together!
Okay, on to the images!
