Heather and Dustin contacted me about their wedding back in February. When I got back from a trip to San Diego I headed down to Virgina Beach. It had been the 1st time being back in VA Beach since my wife and I moved to Delaware. We did a Trash the Dress with an old dress that Heather picked up from Salvation Army before their wedding. Since then Heather, Dustin and I have become pretty good friends….and we had a blast on their wedding day! Their wedding started out with Heather and the girls getting ready at Cavalier Hotel , the ceremony was at Norfolk Botanical gardens and then moving back to Cavalier for the reception.
Norfolk Botanical Gardens is very special to me because I used to go to the gardens 2-3 times a week when living in Va Beach. My Navy sched was crazy…so I would have days off during the week. I’d walk around for hours taking pictures of flowers, butterflies and other types on animals. Very relaxing. This was where I decide to follow my childhood dreams of being a professional photographer!!!
Cavalier Hotel was built in 1927 and is used for weddings and special events.
