Virginia Beach Virginia Wedding Photographer ~Dana & Matt are Married!!~ Part I

When Dana contacted me about shooting her Virginia Beach Virginia wedding, I was thrilled.  I had photographed her cousin’s wedding and absolutely fell in love with their family.  Dana and Matt are a great couple.   Dana, a fellow Steeler fan, was a beautiful Bride and their wedding was full of fun, dancing and lots of great moments.   Matt is always smiling and laughing, and even though he loves the Packers, (wait til you see their Groom’s cake), he is alright with me.   They were married on a gorgeous October day at the Thalia United Methodist Church in Virgina Beach.  The guys enjoyed a cigar and a beer at Matt’s Mom’s house and the Ladies put the finishing touches on at the church, before the Ceremony…

Please note that my little worker bee has a hitchh Please note that my little worker bee has a hitchhiker on her neck. I learned this is called a phoretic mite. They catch a ride on the back of the bees to other flowers or to the hive to clean up bee waste. #themoreyouknow🌈⭐️ #leighskaggsphotography #f@ckingnature
