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.

Waterside Marriott Wedding Photography of Portia and Gary

Monday, July 20, 2009

Portia and Gary had their wedding ceremony at Epworth United Methodist Church in Norfolk and their reception at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott. It was a British kind of weekend! Portia’s family is from Britain and the very next day, the Bride and HER family are all from Britain as well. It was WAY TOO MUCH FUN being around all that dry quick wit all weekend. I REALLY enjoyed the people.

I could have easily doubled the number of images I put on the blog, but I’m trying to keep my posts relatively manageable. (if that’s remotely possible anyway!)

Here’s some of Portia and Gary’s wedding photography from Epworth Church and the Norfolk Waterside Marriott.
