Virginia Beach Wedding Photography - April & Jonathan
Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 6:01AM | in Wedding Photography 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!
Here are some of my favorite shots from the entire wedding.

I like them all, especially the first and second.
Great shoot. I love how they embraced the rainy weather and included the umbrella. I also hear it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day.
simply gorgeous, and he shares my name!
A lot of these are win, but the one with the shoes all alone on the dance floor stands out, and the one with her looking back over her shoulder are particularly win. Good job again John. I'm thinking about faking a wedding and booking you just to get some pictures that look this good, and then file for the divorce the next day.
Wow John!! Another beautiful wedding! The reception pictures are all spectacular and I love, love, love that B&W long shot to the altar. Excellent work!
What a gorgeous wedding. I think photos in the rain. They are always memorable. Great photos!
I'm sure they love them. Well done.

The second shot and the one with April looking over her shoulder under the umbrella are my faves. Nice work, as always.

That church looked awesome. I'm not a big fan of church weddings but that place looked like it was destined to be photographed. Also loved the umbrella shots. It's good luck, right? lol
Gorgeous work!! In The rain photos you took what some people may have considered a catastrophe, turned it into something unique & special.
