Wedding and Portrait Photography in Virginia Beach bio picture

Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer – Bill Murray

I understand that countless hours are invested to ensure that your wedding is a reflection of your vision. I also knows that when the big day comes it ends up flying by! So, as your photographer, I make sure that I see EVERYTHING. I am a bundle of BOUNDLESS energy and I'm always moving as I search for the real facial expressions and I listen for laughter. I anticipate exactly where I need to be to get the shot, and I do it all without being intrusive.

I draw from many sources for my photographic inspiration. I love the raw emotion of photojournalism as well as the seductive, mysterious look of fashion photography. By fusing the two, along with my close relationship to this thing called "light" I come up with a style that's called "fashion photojournalism.” I believe in romantic lighting and incredible backgrounds to complete a scene, so I always choose my locations carefully when given the opportunity to choose. I never interrupt a moment or pose situations that are already magical on their own. One of my main goals is to NEVER stress out the bride and groom, so I keep everything fast, professional, fun, and relaxed.

I picked up my first camera at the age of 6. I didn't care what the photos looked like at first, just how much fun it was to take them. As I grew up my tastes became more refined and I developed a passion for manipulating light. Millions of photos later, I still use alternative, innovative, sometimes quirky methods and I enjoy experimenting in the moment to create unique, one-of-a-kind images.

Before your wedding day, chances are that I've ran anywhere between 14 and 20 miles. As an avid marathon runner, one of my favorite things in the world is to watch the sun rise over the ocean alongside my girlfriend and running partner, Trish.

Cavalier Hotel Virginia Beach Wedding – Photography of Rachel & Robert

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

Rachel and Robert got married August 28th 2010 with their wedding ceremony being held at Norfolk Botanical Gardens and their wedding reception at The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach. I cannot say enough good things about the Cavalier Hotel. It is and always has been in my “top 3″ favorite places to do wedding photography. Most of the weddings I’ve done have been at the Old Cavalier Hotel on the hill, but this one was on the beach side, way up high! The views were spectacular, especially as the sun was setting over the Old Cavalier, and into the evening looking down Atlantic Avenue at the Ocean Front all lit up and buzzing with people enjoying the warm night. Rachel and Robert’s wedding was AWESOME! I shot Rachel’s bridal portraits at the Old Cavalier on the hill earlier in August and those will show up here on the blog eventually when I get to posting portrait sessions. I still have MANY weddings that I haven’t blogged yet from the 2010 wedding season and there’s still lots of wedding photography to display. For now, enjoy a few photos from Rachel & Robert’s wedding.
