15 minutes of photojournalistic family portraits with the Townley's

It was not an hour I'm not used to shooting at, but by 8 a.m., I was snapping away, watching the newest Townley take to her parents, my wife and their hardwood floor. These are my kind of family pictures and photojournalistic family portraits. Just relaxed and come as you are...it's purity!

Rebecca and I had a wedding in D.C., so we decided to catch up with Danielle & Rob the night before. This couple, now a family living in Maryland, was one of my first clients back in 2005, and we've become great friends since. We're so proud to see how their family has grown with their first child, Anna. We hope to be there for the first steps, school and her future!

This beauty is going to steal the show, just like her parents. She already has a smile which lights up the room. The family dog, Scout, isn't too bad either. He's just like our GusMAN, so we naturally love him like our own, too.

Thanks so much for a great night Townley's!

Best,
Bec & Joe

P.S. Still can't believe the Gidjuni lost so quickly at Monopoly...haha!

A few with Anna on Rebecca's lap...

Scout and Gus are the same size...too cute!

Gotta love the toes.
Look at that smile!
Watching the "Bride Falls in Pool" video from my Blog site. We still crack up over this one.



A nice one of the kids.

Wedding Photography in Hampton Roads with Marissa & Brock

When planning a wedding, please remember to think of the seasons. I was nervous when Marissa and Brock decided to have an outdoor wedding around Hampton Roads in Cape Charles, Virginia...in October. But, the weather the two of them had was nothing short of spectacular. It was warm, sunny with just a touch of wind. It was if God touched these two with a killer wedding present, perfect weather.

Then they had to go and spoil the day by having one of best ceremonies and reception parties I've been to. Just unbelievable guests on the dance floor...and by the bar. Everything took place at the Bay Creek Resort, and both Dan and I were impressed with the accommodations and smoothly things ran. They have it all there.

Now what is so difficult about these two are how photogenic they are. These are only my shots. Dan shot with me, and he has his own faves. Just too much going on! We were honored to be there Marissa and Brock. The love you share is amazing, and we were so happy to be there!

This was NOT staged. Ask Brock. He just did it. Yeah baby! Loving it.
GQ all the way
Hard to beat this sunset on your wedding day!

The two of them took a trip on a boat after the reception. The boat is named for Brock's grandmother, and Marissa got to meet two of the uncles and later had a dance.
