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.

Virginia Beach Wedding Photography – Courtney and Alan

Monday, October 19, 2009

I had the honor of doing the photography at the Virginia Beach Wedding of Courtney and Alan. A few years ago, I had shot the wedding of Courtney’s sister Brittany at the same church, and did the reception in the same gorgeous back yard on the water. Same wedding coordinator (Isha Foss), same caterer (Todd with Rustic Gourmet Catering). Courtney and Alan are both fire fighters, and it was just a gorgeous day for a wedding.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding photography. Enjoy!

B.T.W. This wedding was shot in MAY of 2009. So, I’m about 5 months behind on blogging weddings, and I have been so incredibly busy shooting weddings, post processing weddings, and designing wedding albums. But, eventually, I WILL CATCH UP ON BLOGGING! (in a non-obsessive kind of determined way)

Stephanie - Great pictures! They were such a wonderful family to work with.

Alex - Suffolk Photographer - What a cool accident – I was searching for my ranking in Google and found your blog under ‘wedding photography suffolk’ – though it seems we work in two different Suffolk’s – you in Virginia and me in England!

Anyhoo, I’m glad to have found your blog as you’ve got some awesome pictures here! A nice mix of informal reportage and classic images.

My own blog (which is just starting) is at http://www.alexkilbeephotography.co.uk/blog

Hopefully if you get the time you’ll pop by.
