Here are the images I photographed for the Virginia Opera. These are the images that will be used for their print media, billboards, posters, mailers, etc. It was an honor and a privilege to be part of such a prestigious production. Danielle, thanks again for this opportunity. Your team did a fantastic job in the layout and design!!
On February 15th, I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Laura and Scott. The lovely couple tied the knot at United Methodist Church, located on Main St. in downtown Suffolk. The reception was held at the Hilton Garden Inn. When I first photographed Laura and Scott’s engagement session, I knew that is was going to be a great wedding. And then after her bridal session a few weeks ago, I knew that we were all on the same page which just makes for great photos!! Laura Lyons, wedding planner at the Hilton did a fabulous job ensuring every little detail was executed according to plan. From the band to the wait staff, everything was just simply amazing! In fact, as I was shooting some table shots, I ran into another couple who I photographed their wedding almost four years ago. Amy and Paul were good friends of the bride and groom and were guests at their wedding! Just never know whose watching you. Laura & Scott, thank you for this tremendous opportunity. I wish the both of you the very best in your lives together. 
This weekend, I participated in the HR Magazine Bridal Showcase. The event was held at the prestigious Newport News Marriott. Meredith and her entire team did a fabulous job putting the event together. Brides came as far as Washington DC to attend the fabulous gala. As our focus is 2009 brides, it was a great show for me and my organization. Just from the show, I’ve booked three brides for 2009. The highlight of the event was the awesome food supplied by Tiffany Auxier and her culinary team at the Marriott. Tiffany’s booth had an “all you can eat” buffet that included shrimp, rice pilaf and all of the trimmings. Tiffany’s booth would have not been complete had it not been for Blue Steel Lighting by Jeremy and Rodney. Flowers by Tawana was responsible for the lovely floral arrangements. Maya owner of Tiffanys by Maya, turned out the fashion show with her stunning gowns from her new collection. Star Whittaker of Touch of Elegance turned the atrium into a bridal paradise. Special thanks to Tiffany and Alecia for hosting this special event. Kudos to Sean for doing an excellent job capturing the event and Karen for assisting me at my booth.
Here are a few shots from Laura’s bridal session. Now that the wedding will take place this weekend, Laura gave me the green light to post a few. I photographed Laura and Scott’s e-session and we truly had a great time. Click here to check out their awesome engagement session. More fireworks to come!!
On Feb 3, I had the honor of photographing Alston & Chakeeta’s wedding at Mason Memorial Church in Norfolk. Their reception took place at the Crown Plaza in Virginia Beach. Alston, a long time friend for over 15 years, told his fiance’ that Keith is the only photographer that will shoot my wedding. I was truly touched by his words, which made me want to exceed his expectations even more. One of the highlights of the wedding is when I saw my dear friend Charalese Gore from the Founders Inn do a praise and worship dance. I had no idea that Charalese knew my lovely couple, let alone dance for them and their guests. The most memorable highlight happened when I had the entire bridal party come outside and join Chaketa and Alston for a toast. With everyone armed with a glass, I had Alston shake up the bottle of bubbly while everyone held out their glasses trying to catch some cheers. Alson and Chakeeta, thank you for allowing me to capture your special day. I wish the both of you the very best!
