Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer -Ashley & Blake are Married-

Ashley & Blake are two of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ashley is a nurse in Richmond Virginia and Blake is a Firefighter there too, but they have a love of all things Nautical and decided to have their destination wedding at the Water Table in Virginia Beach, Virginia. They met in the ER where Ashley works and quickly formed a bond over their mutual love of helping people. He proposed to her, about a year later, while the two of them were on mini-vacation. And of course she said YES!! I met Ashley and Blake 2 days before their wedding and immediately knew it was fate that brought us all together, (fate and one of my favorite Couples from 2013, Kelly & Craig). I could not have been happier to watch these two tie the knot. They are just perfect for one another….and did I mention the NICEST people EVER!! I LOVED their Coral & Navy nautical inspired wedding. It was perfectly put together with tons of great details, including a signature drink and a sparkler and boat send-off. Congratulations again to you both. It was an honor to document your beautiful wedding day!

Ashley & Blake got ready at Blake’s Aunt and Uncles gorgeous house in Chick’s Beach Virginia! They were such gracious hosts…and we appreciated them so much!
