McCabe Wedding Richmond Wedding Photographer

One of the best things about shooting weddings are the friends you make. After really getting to know them during their engagement session we felt like old friends by the time their wedding came around. With their infectious personalities you just can’t help but love these two! They couldn’t have been more excited to be getting married, and that makes us so excited to be a part of it. Tracy and Steve were married at the Hilton Hotel and Spa in Short Pump on a gorgeous, unseasonable warm Friday evening in February! For all the VT alum!

Happy Unconditional Love Day!

February 13, 2013

Anyone who knows us knows how often we use Finn as our photo test subject. It’s rare that we post the pictures on our blog, but given that it’s Valentine’s Day I just couldn’t resist this one! This day is extra special for us since it marks the 5 year Anniversary of the first date with my beautiful, amazing wife! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Two sisters, a birthday and a tire swing…

February 13, 2013

This was our second time hanging out with this family and we had a blast! It was a great start to 2013 for us on a beautiful February day! The occasion you may ask?… Lily’s 1st Birthday! When deciding on a location we were a little strapped for ideas because so many trees are without their leaves this time of year.  When we arrived at George and Melissa’s house we realized the best spot was their backyard which had a beautiful big tree, the sun shining through and none other than a TIRE SWING. The most exciting part was that their large, white house was the perfect reflector. Steven was seriously geeking-out about how convenient that was! Check out some of our favorite images from our time with these four! And that’s a wrap…

Thanks for the phenomenal pictures. Finally life has allowed time to sit and enjoy them.

Best Of?… We’ll Take It!!

January 28, 2013

Steven and I found out in early December that we were one of the winners for the Best of Weddings 2013 award given through theknot.com. We could BARELY contain our enthusiasm! The best thing about this recognition was that it’s partly based on the quantity and quality of reviews we had received from our 2012 weddings. The feedback we get from our couples is the lifeblood of our young business. Reading these reviews as soon as they come in always makes our day! A bit of what our newlyweds had to say about us:  “OMG, where to start?! These guys are FANTASTIC! Steven and Lily were on the ball the whole way through. From the very beginning of the planning process to the good-bye send off. They were very attentive and made sure that everything was captured perfectly.“ - Erin C. “They captured the wedding better than my husband remembers it!“ – Beatrice A. “They are a super nice, easy to love couple who is also recently married, so they understand what brides/grooms are going through, what is important to you, etc. I can’t tell you how many times I have told people that I liked my photographers so much that I wanted…

Willoughby Wedding – Richmond, VA Wedding Photographer

January 17, 2013

Happy, positive, warm, fun, sooo in love… these are the words that come to mind when I think of these two. Katherine and Aaron ‘s late December wedding still had the feeling of the Holidays.  Since this time of year is all about family, it seemed like the perfect way for them to bring everyone together. This was our first time shooting at The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and boy were we in for a treat! So many sweet moments these two shared during their ceremony that we got to spy on! The Weather  Channel was calling for  60% chance of rain, so we came prepared with indoor portrait locations and ideas with umbrellas. Turns out… it was gorgeous,  but it was cold.  If that had been me in front of the camera I would  have been red, shivering and stiff. It’s like they were immune to the temperatures. Just for some background on this next set of pictures… Aaron’s Grandmother took the mic following the Matron of Honor’s speech and told many fun stories about Aaron and his twin brother growing up. About 10 minutes in his Grandfather stole the microphone and said “I haven’t gotten a word in for…

Hawkins Wedding – Petersburg, VA Wedding Photographers

January 3, 2013

Steven’s known Megan and her family for as long as he can remember. Their families have been extremely close since before he was born, so being able to shoot her wedding was a truly unique and special experience for us.  These two knew how to dance well with each other. It was one of those moments where I was photographing and saying “awwww” at the same time. They were so obviously comfortable, confident, and completely happy in the moment. You two were beautiful out there, it was a pleasure to watch! This wasn’t the only memorable dance from this wedding, and if you know Megan’s dad, that won’t be a surprise. Their Father-Daughter dance was hysterical. It started off with a slow song, but then cut into multiple upbeat hip hop songs, only to go back to the slow song to finish it off. You’ll have to check out the video on YouTube to really appreciate it! I’m sure you can’t help but notice the amazing lighting at this reception. We’re starting to see more emphasis being put on lighting and we love finding ways to really bring it out in the photos! Kim Moody Design did an amazing job visualizing and designing the…

Christmas in the Neighborhood!

December 24, 2012

Meet our neighbors; Kyle and Liz… oh and we can’t forget Finn’s best friend, Henry!! These two are life savers. They frequently watch Finn while we’re at weddings and provide an awesome opportunity for doggie playdates! We lovingly refer to Henry as Chest Hair. Finn has half the coat Henry does and I think Henry gets 100x the baths that Finn does The three of us lucked out when we bought our house, we couldn’t have asked for better neighbors!

Megan’s Bridal Portraits!

December 9, 2012

Megan’s getting married in December but we were able to do her portraits in September! Love all the beautiful flowers in bloom that her husband’s grandmother maintains on her property. Wish I had a green thumb like that! You look stunning Megan! I always feel like I’m in on a secret when we take bridal pictures because we get to see the bride in her beautiful dress BEFORE her big day! We can’t wait to see James’ face when you walk down the aisle on the 8th! This one means so much to us!

Mandra Wedding – Mariott Ranch, Hume, Virginia Wedding Photographers

December 5, 2012

Anna and Anthony were married on a beautiful November day in Hume, VA at the Marriott Ranch! They chose to do a First Look prior to their ceremony because not only did they want plenty of portraits before the sun set but also because Anna’s Dad was playing the piano during the cocktail hour! Here comes the Bride!! Because they did a First Look, these two were able to enjoy almost their entire cocktail hour! If you’re looking for a band to play at your wedding you can stop your search now. The Blue Tips played at Anna and Anthony’s wedding and they were amazing! We’ve seen these guys before and they always put on a good show! Anna and Anthony moved to Korea after their wedding, hence the fortune cookies, to-go boxes and the Gagnam Style flash mob!!
