Norfolk, Virginia Wedding Photography - Jessica & Stephen
Monday, November 23, 2009 at 8:05AM | in Wedding Photography John Cachero Photography had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Stephen, who celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception at the Bay Front Club in Norfolk, Virginia. This festive wedding took place in the community of East Beach in the newly, beautifully redeveloped East Ocean View peninsula. In the midst of shooting there, I often forgot that I was in Norfolk because the look and feel of the East Beach community is nothing like I was used to seeing in Ocean View.
At the beginning of our initial consultation, Jessica and Stephen let me know that their choice for wedding photographer was between myself and another very well-established photographer in the area whose work I completely admire. At the end of said consultation, we were signing my contracts because they felt my laid-back and personable, but professional demeanor would be a better fit for them. (I tell all potential clients whether they hire me or not, they should make sure of two things: 1) that the photographer is willing to show you an entire wedding set to ensure they are capable of shooting an entire wedding well, not just the few shots in a portfolio, and 2) that your personalities mesh well because your photographer will be with you for pretty much the entire day.)
The decision they made definitely worked out in everyone's favor because Jessica and Stephen were a riot and I seriously had so much fun shooting this wedding, and according to the text messages I got from Jessica the next day, she had nothing but thanks and praise to deliver from herself and her friends and family in attendance.
Thank you for sharing your joy and love with me on this day, and I wish you two all the best.
Here are some of my favorite shots from this wedding.

Very nice work, John. The second and seventh from the last are my favs. Love the one as she is looking over his shoulder.
Beautiful as always! You got some great shots at this wedding. Favorites are the groomsmen in the grass(4), the shot through the alter arrangement(10) and the bride leaning over the flower girl(11).
The coloring on your photos are always blemish free! Its as if you're really there in the photo, and I don't even have a high definition monitor :-)
