Ali and I happened to meet for the first time through random coincidence. I had brand photography photos coming up to get some pictures taken for my website and social media posts. I needed some new, cute outfits for the shoot. So, I went to Francesca’s and met an employee named Ali. I explained to Ali the types of outfits I was looking for and that they were for a brand photography shoot for my wedding photography business. Ali was so helpful, and we were able to find some outfits I loved. Before I left, Ali explained to me that she was engaged and actively looking for a wedding photographer for their Virginia Beach Wedding! I happened to have her wedding date available and the rest is history. 

The Wedding Day

Ali and Tahj’s wedding was so much fun. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many people on a dance floor at a wedding! Their wedding party clearly loved each of them so much based solely on the number of happy tears as Ali & Tahj said their vows. Christian had a blast taking pictures of the groom and groomsmen on the beach and after they were done with all of the standard wedding day photos, he captured some pretty hilarious photos of them chasing seagulls and posing as a boy band on the beach. 

One of my favorite moments of the day was when Ali got to see her family for the first time. They were so proud of her and told her how beautiful she looked. I also loved Tahj’s written vows. They were so personal and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Ali & Tahj’s love for one another runs deep and I’m so glad they found each other. Congratulations, Ali & Tahj and thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your beautiful Virginia Beach wedding day!
