Noelle & Ben

Wedding

It would be so easy to go on and on about these two. High school sweethearts, he took her back to the Chemistry class they met in to propose to her. She’s been next to him as he climbs his way and fights to stay there in the Crossfit world. It was a perfect October day, complete with sunshine and thankfully a sunset that seemed to wait for us to make it to the beach for portraits!! Ben and Noelle were married in Chesapeake and had their reception at Shifting Sands in Dam Neck.

When Noelle and I met a few weeks before her wedding to go over everything, we showed up in beach themed outfits(I knew I liked this girl!) She also told me she could bring me bacon if I wanted it…yeah I’m keeping her around! 😉 As she sat there and gushed about Ben, her wedding details and how easy it all had come together I said a prayer that her wedding day would run as smoothly as the planning had. We showed up at the church and sure enough, Noelle was calm and ready. Their ceremony was so sweet, the words the pastor spoke I know meant something to everyone in that room regardless of the stage a relationship was in. After the fastest family pictures, we flew down to Dam Neck beach and had 12, yes people TWELVE!, minutes to get portraits done where she was dying for them to be. Even though we were rushed, everyone was focused and we even got some bridal portraits! The sky was gorgeous and the beach was deserted. Their reception was so so SO much fun! Astro DJ of course played the best music and even showed everyone how to do Copperhead Road. A reception filled with Reeboks and Doughnuts, everyone here was so excited to celebrate and the night was perfect!
