What do you get when you have 2 beautiful people, they get all dressed up in the wedding attire and they choose an amazing location for their aftershoot?….you get this…

Brooke and Peter wanted to go over and beyond just beautiful wedding portraits.  They wanted the chance to put back on their wedding dress and suit and Brooke wanted the chance to have her hair and make up done.  After all of that, we spent a couple of amazing hours touring and photography them on location at the Charleston, WV Capital.

With all the marble, columns and the amazing dome ceiling it truly sets the background for amazing photography.

Sometimes it’s just fun to do something that is not the “typical setting” for a certain type of couture.  That is exactly why we love doing Trash the Dress and Trash the Formal Shoots.  Sometimes we find ourselves out shooting in the breaking of the waves of the Bay or Ocean.  Then sometimes we find ourselves shooting in the depths of an urban setting in the dirty, yet beautiful alley ways of downtown and on top of buildings.  That’s exactly what we did with Ashley.  Ashley came to her shoot in the perfect color for a Trash the Dress in an outdoor location.  We didn’t really trash her dress, but had fun trying!

Here’s Ashley

We had the joy of photographing Mario & Meredith’s wedding a few weeks ago and had them join us again for an aftershoot.  Meredith put her wedding dress back on and Mario found a sharp looking suit and we hit the town.  Aftershoots allow us to create some more “edgy” shots without having to keep Mario & Meredith pristine for their wedding day.  We walked around some alleyways and streets of downtown Norfolk then headed to the beach for a quick romp through the water.  Too cool!  While these guys had shot with us a few times before, many of our aftershoot couples are first-timers with us wanting our style of photography but having already completed their wedding this is a great option!  Here’s a few shots of our afternoon with this fabulous couple:
