Claire and Paul are MARRIED ya’ll! They were so much fun to work with during their engagement session last fall so I had been looking forward to this day for a while! I absolutely loved the colors that popped during the day- white, ivory, light Tiffany/sky blue! Everyone looked absolutely stunning and they had the most adorable flower girls in bohemian dresses! Claire’s garter was made out of the lace her grandmother used at her wedding. I adore personal details!

Claire & Paul both went to Norfolk Collegiate School. Paul was a senior and Claire was a freshman so they didn’t actually meet until April 2009, just before Claire graduated from ODU! Paul went to Hampden-Sydney College which was a HUGE selling point for Claire’s family since they have been very active there for generations! Claire’s grandfather (who sits on the board), uncle and brother all graduated from this historical Virginia all-men’s college!

Claire fell in love with Paul’s innate kindness and genuine spirit (oh, and she made sure to mention his eyes and dimples haha)! These two had a great connection from the start. Their love came easy and continues to blossom as the years go by. Claire & Paul worked so hard to make this day special and they definitely succeeded. They are SO sweet and I just know they have a lifetime of happiness ahead of them. Thank you for letting me be apart of your special day, lovers!! <3
