The Cavalier, Esoteric, and Beach... Oh My!


Alison & Rob's Virginia Beach wedding was truly a fairytale. They got ready at the famous Cavalier Hotel where they were surrounded by their family and friends. Then we headed off to the beautiful waters of Virginia Beach where they got to say "I do". Finally we ended the night at Esoteric surrounded by beautiful flowers and murals of Virginia Beach!

The Details


were just timeless. That gold ring on the embroidered handkerchief? A family heirloom worn by brides for numerous generations in Rob's family. And Alison had Rob's ring engraved with a sweet, sweet saying: "love you the most, always". Seriously, if you can include family traditions along with new and unique sentiments, it truly adds to the magic of a wedding day.
