Hey there and hello! We are Judith and Eric Soule, we are a dynamic husband/wife duo who run Fresh Look Photography! We are on a mission to bring fun, laughter and JOY to our clients on their wedding day. Currently living and loving in Virginia Beach, we serve Hampton Roads and beyond.But we’ve got the travel bug and LOVE to follow our clients wherever the wind may blow. Just ask us about some of the cool places we’ve gotten to go photograph! Get to know a little more about us, and our love story in today's post!

Hi there friends! I'm Kellyn, with Kellyn Wilson Photography. I am a Lifestyle Portrait Photographer, military spouse to my Army husband and mom of two...oh, and I can't forget our basset hound Sherlock! I capture memories for Families, Children, Newborns and Seniors. My love for photography started at five years old when my dad gave me my first Polaroid camera. I loved waving the photos in the air and waiting for the picture to appear. It was magic! Being a military spouse, we move around a lot. Currently stationed at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful clients and travel to amazing places. I quickly realized after having my own children, how important it is to capture those everyday candid moments.

Hi y'all!  I'm Crystal and have owned Birds on a Wire Photography for 11 years. I’m Southeast based, but I LOVE to roam. Some of my favorite spots include Asheville NC, Savannah GA, Seattle WA, Vermont, Atlanta GA, Colorado, & Las Vegas NV. I love people. I believe in the power of telling a story through my photography and building lasting relationships with the people in those stories along the way. I photograph weddings and cry at every.single.one.of.them. As my Mama says, I am a “feeler”. I also love photographing high school seniors, families and children. In the business world, I have worked to provide headshots and commercial photography portfolios to realtors, interior designers, churches, lawyers, politicians, etc and have been humbled to have billboards with my work pop up on the interstate from time to time. I have a niche for boudoirs (lingerie sessions) and I can PROMISE you that you are not ready for all the fun we will have! Let me just say that there is no “normal” body type. We are all made differently and you don’t need to be a certain size, big, small or anything in between to rock a boudoir session. Legit, girl bye; you’re ready today, just as you are!

Pick a favorite photoshoot? As a photographer, that’s difficult. Each and every shoot has its own moments that stick out, causing me to look back fondly on that adventure. But if I must narrow it down, I would pick a shoot that I did by a lake while visiting Idaho. It was a perfect, blissful summer evening. I don’t know if you have ever experienced an Idaho summer, but the evening of this photoshoot sums it up. Perfect weather; warm with a subtle breeze, the sun shining amidst a blue sky, mountains peeking out in the far distance with a slight smell of crops floating through the breeze. And when the sun sets, the whole sky lights up like the color of cotton candy. That was our setting!

What is the "golden hour"? One of my favorite things as a photographer is to be able to capture these amazing, magical images of my clients in a perfect sunset. The photos almost look like something from a storybook - perfect glowing skin, soft shadows and flattering highlights.

My name is­ Will Overby. I am a Creative Director who specializes in beauty/fashion photography. I am someone who is passionate about creating beauty images. My photographic journey did not start that way. I originally started by exploring different genres. Those genres included automotive and landscape.  I then eventually progressed to photographing people. Like anyone, I started photographing friends and family. Through working with people, it opened up a new world of possibilities for me. This is where the passion began. I learned to explore how people photograph and what I enjoy most is that there is always something different and unique with everyone. That is amazing to me.

Stories of how two people can find each other, fall in love and how their lives just fall into place when they meet has always interested me as a photographer. Naturally, when I heard these two's proposal story, I was like a kid with a bowl of popcorn watching a love story unfold. After what she thought was a terrible vacation, he proposed while on a vacation in front his family when she last expected and all fell right in the world. Since their proposal took place on the coasts of Miami, Florida, it was only reasonable they have their session on the Pacific Coast in El Matador Beach in Malibu, California.

I was around 6 when I got my first camera from my Aunt Joyce. It was just a cheap instant Polaroid camera from a yard sale, but it meant the world to me. I remember wanting to capture everything It was not until I was 23 that I decided capturing once in a life time moments was where my heart was. I looked at my husband and told him my passion for this. He spent the next two days doing research, unknown to me, and then taking me to buy my first DRSL for our anniversary. Needless to say I have not stopped capturing special moments since or even taken a break to look back. I have since went to NYIP, and graduated with my certificate in photography. I have turned my passion into a career and it feels like a dream!

Hello friends, I’m Ashley Strong Smith, the oh-so grateful photographer and owner of Ashley Strong Photography! I just love love. I love pure love. I love heart-pulsing, body vibrating, soul piercing, I couldn't be more grateful for you kind of love! I love love in a way that love is the answer to all things. Love is the pulse between all of us. Love within the intertwined union of a couple, love wrapped around an ever growing family, love of oneself and the expansiveness that life is at this very moment. Love, is the vibration that connects all of us! And for the blessing, the honor, the privilege of getting to document and share so many vibrantly blissful and unique forms of love, I'm expansively grateful.

Real art makes you feel something. As a child, I loved tinkering with my great-grandma’s old polaroid camera. I love looking back at those very early images in my photography career (I’m talking age 4!) and reliving those moments. When I look at one of those old yellow-tinted photos, I’m a child again – just for a moment.
