Christa & Andy | Shifting Sands Beach Wedding Virginia Beach Virginia Wedding Photographer

Christa & Andy are such an amazing couple!!  (I know I say that all the time…and it is because I have the BEST clients!!)  They met while playing kickball!  🙂  They were on opposite teams.  Andy was pitching and when Christa got up to kick, he knew he had to meet her!!  I love how much he helped her to plan their beach wedding at the Shifting Sands in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  (He even picked out the robes the Ladies wore while getting ready!!)  We had the BEST time hanging out with this group!  They were all so much fun and I truly LOVED watching Christa and Andy look at each other all day.  Love literally radiated out of their faces!!  Hope you both had the best time on your honeymoon.  Thank you so much for choosing us to be part of this amazing day!! 

After what seemed like weeks of rain, the sun finally came out strong for Christa and Andy’s big day!
