Norfolk, Virginia Wedding Photography - Melissa & Bryan

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.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the entire wedding.

John, Bryan and I are so happy with our wedding pictures. You truly captured the essence of the day. I love the fact that you shot great pictures of me with my girls, and of course with me and Bryan. I appreciated that you took the time out to take great shots of our family and friends. You truly showcased your talent and your creative side at my wedding. Thanks for a job well done!

Fantastic job, John. The mirror shot is very classy. I love the way that she looks like she is leaning against the edge of the mirror from the inside...very cool! That is going in my repertoire...:)
