Virginia Beach, Virginia Wedding Photographer ~Haley & Pete are Married!!~ Part I

I liked Haley the moment that I met her.  She has an infectious smile and a great laugh.  Pete is a Norfolk cop and while he says he doesn’t enjoy having his picture taken, he certainly is good at it!  🙂   We had such a great time at their Engagement session, so I knew that the wedding was going to be a ton of fun.   And they did not disappoint.  The Ceremony was in Virginia Beach at St. Michael’s’ Lutheran Church and the reception was in Sandbridge at the Turtle Bay House.  Both were great venue’s and were full of beauty.  The whole wedding party was a blast and Haley’s Parents and Brother are from Pittsburgh, so I even got a little slice of home with the Pittsburgese accents! 

The Ladies got ready at a house up the street from the reception site.  Haley has the most gorgeous hair and I loved the curls, and I totally LOVE her shoes!!
