Greetings from the southern front

For those of you wondering who Joe's anonymous partner in crime is, c'est moi. I'm the southernmost wing of JPG, operating out of Virginia Beach at the moment.

Now that we've dispensed with the introductions, let's get down to business...



Kristy and Matt's wedding at the beautiful Chrysler Museum in Norfolk was the perfect way to really get in the swing of the wedding season. They were relaxed and so obviously overjoyed to finally get married, which makes my job so much easier. We didn't have any catering vans on hand for them to climb into (see Joe's post below for the scoop on that), but we did have a room of Greek statues. Congrats guys!

I hope this one is a harbinger of the season to come.

Best wishes and happy Easter to all of you,
Dan



P.S. - If you're among Kristy and Matt's family and friends, keep an eye on your e-mail inbox in the near future for directions to the full listing of their wedding photos on Pictage.com.

Frentz-Underwood Wedding

WOW! This fantastic, awesome, wonderful, relaxed-chill couple started out JPG to a great 2007. There were some issues with the flowers, Chrissy kept cool. There were some issues with the weather. It rained...hard. Chrissy and Nate didn't let it ruin their day. In fact, they rolled with it.

When you get into photography, you pray to find a couple like these two, and truly, they did it right. It was a massive party after the outdoor ceremony. And, if this wasn't a sign of their good fortune, it rained two minutes, AFTER the ceremony ended. Any delay would have caused it to rain on their day. Instead, we just moved formals inside.

The rain, did make the fun portraits a bit trickier, but again, they were up for ANYTHING! I have to honest and say, I haven't had a bride and groom relaxed enough to get steamy makeout shots in the back of the catering van! They had a blast, had great stories and made the day their own. I'm so proud to have been a part of your day!
