John Cachero Photography had the pleasure of photographing Angie and Thomas, who celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception at The Ivy Inn Restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia, just one mile from the Grounds of the University of Virginia. Driving up from Hampton Roads to spend a weekend in Charlottesville to shoot this wedding was exciting, having attended UVA as an undergrad. I’d been looking forward to this weekend for quite some time since I hadn’t been back in the Hook for a few years.

My good friend, Emma, owner of Jordan Bloom, had been getting her hair done by Angie for a while.  So when Angie hired Emma to take care of the floral arrangements for her wedding, Emma recommended that I take care of the wedding photography.  After making a few phone calls and checking out my portfolio online, Angie and Thomas hired me sight unseen.

These two were great to photograph.  Angie and Thomas were fun and easy going, and their intimate wedding, friends, and family reflected this.  I want to thank them for giving me an ample amount of time following the ceremony to take portraits.  I always appreciate being able to explore our surroundings with a newlywed couple.

Congratulations, you two!

Here are some of my favorite shots from this wedding.

John Cachero Photography had the pleasure of photographing April and Jonathan, who celebrated their wedding ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Norfolk, Virginia and their wedding reception at The Cape Henry Inn And Beach Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

April was the second bridesmaid from Deanne and David’s wedding to hire me to shoot her wedding after being impressed with the results of my work (the first bridesmaid to hire me, Melissa, booked me to shoot her wedding a few weeks before this one).  In addition, Jonathan happens to be David’s youngest brother, so I had to live up to quite a reputation going into this wedding.  I was prepared to shoot the lights out.

That morning, we were blessed with sunny skies, but Hurricane Bill threatened to make landfall at some point during April and Jonathan’s day.  Not long after the ceremony, Hurricane Bill decided to sit right off the coast of Virginia Beach, unleashing plenty of rain on our beachfront reception site at Fort Story.  Hoping that they’d be troopers, I grabbed two large umbrellas from my car and asked the newlyweds if they wanted to go shoot portraits in the rain.  With the help of Jonathan’s oldest brother, Jeremiah, holding an umbrella over me, the four of us ventured out into the weather and managed to capture some of my favorite portraits I’ve shot thus far.

Thanks, April and Jonathan… you were awesome.  Congratulations!

John Cachero Photography had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Bryan, who celebrated their wedding ceremony at Talbot Park Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia and their wedding reception at Vista Point Center on the Norfolk Naval Base.

Melissa was a bridesmaid in Deanne and David’s wedding, my first event of 2009.  She and Bryan had already booked a photographer for their wedding, but after experiencing how well I interacted with everyone during that wedding and then being impressed with the actual photographs when they were made available, Melissa and Bryan apologized to their photographer, forfeited their deposit, and booked with me instead.  I was happy they did because I had a great time shooting Melissa, Bryan, and their 14 fabulous bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Congratulations, you two.

One more thing… Melissa and Bryan booked Norfolk’s own Grant Austin Taylor to play a set with his band during their reception.  This is not hyperbole when I say this; Grant is a virtuoso on the guitar and his set was AMAZING.  If you ever get a chance to hear this 14-year-old prodigy wail on his guitar, do it.  I took several shots of the band during their set and I posted my favorite black & white shot of  Grant in the set below.
