When my friend Brandie asked me to photograph her wedding I was happy for many different reasons. I was ecstatic that her long time boyfriend had proposed. I was also thrilled when she told me the wedding would be on the beach. Yeah! So, we all travelled to Virginia Beach to see Brandie and Gaylon get married. They were married on the same beach where he proposed one year before surrounded by friends and family. Family is very important to the couple. One of my favorite moments in the wedding was when Brandie's three brothers walked her down the aisle. It was so special to see each brother take his turn escorting her-a gorgeous symbol of their bond. After the beautiful ceremony on the beach, a trolley took all the guests to the Hilton to celebrate with a live band that kept everyone on their feet. Brandie and Gaylon have such a strong relationship. They both love life and love sharing it with each other. It was great to see this love celebrated in such a memorable way.
