Diana and John, Getting Married April 17

Diana and John are pledging their love on April 17, but we wanted to get some shots beforehand. The photo session was sort of a family-slash-engagement session. The shoot took place at the Chesapeake City Park in Chesapeake, VA. I look forward to April 17, John and Diana!

Update: Diana just sent me a lovely email upon seeing the images:

“I loved the pictures!  John hasn’t seen them yet, but I loved them all!  They were so fun and very loving!!!!
Yea!  Thank you so much!!  They turned out so great!”

This is why I love my job!!!

Our Daughter Susannah

I try to always have my camera with me, and I’m very glad I had it this past Sunday after church. We were heading home and talking to folks on the way out when Susannah ran up to this tree and stepped into the crook of it.

I had time to get off two shots. Both were winners, but I like this one the best.

Professional Portrait Photography

I recently saw this picture ordered from Sarah and Lorenzo’s wedding last July, and I had forgotten about it. I had asked the Ring Bearer to stand up on the stairs in this hallway, and the lighting was just perfect.

Thank You Letters Make It Complete

I received a very nice email this morning from Jessi, one of my brides from August 1 of last year.
She and John had previously gotten married, but she still had set her heart on the celebration of their wedding vows with family and friends.
Three years later, on August 8, 2009, on Fort Monroe and in the shadow of the former Chamberlin hotel, they rededicated and reaffirmed their love one to the other.
Because they were still overseas until the end of last year, and her schedule always keeping her moving, we just recently finished and sent off her wedding album.

Here is the email I received from her this morning:

Ted,

First, thank you so much for everything.  You were more than I could have hoped for, and I appreciate it more than I can say.  Second, I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner…I received the book last Thursday.  I am very pleased with the book, it turned out beautifully!  I didn’t realize that the pages would be hard like that, I absolutely love it!  Thank you so much for the great work you did for us on our day, and I hope this letter finds you well.  Have a wonderful day,

Jessi

Thanks so much to you, John and Jessi, for everything, for choosing me to be your Wedding Photographer and I look forward to keeping in touch!
