I was so excited when Rayna contacted me for her wedding! Rayna and I had grown up around each other although not really running into each other very often. I was so happy to be able to share in her special day. We have grown to be great friends through her wedding process and wedding day.

Jonathan and Rayna were married at a private ceremony on Virginia Beach.

The wedding day started with private time with her two best girls, Emily and Mandy helping her get ready for her big day. Rayna did her own hair since she’s an Aveda stylist. Look how beautiful she looked!! The flowers were in shades of white and green. Shades of grey were the wedding color.

The couple’s reception was held at a private beach house in Virginia Beach decorated with handmade decor (by Rayna and her bridesmaids) and lanterns.  Paper Flowers hung from the ceiling. The DJ was Josh, a close family friend and the wedding cupcakes were from Sams Club.  The cupcakes were DELICIOUS!!! The food included pulled pork sandwiches, popeyes chicken, green beans, macaroni and cheese, etc..

Thanks so much to Jonathan and Rayna for having me join you to capture the memories of such a special day!  I wish you a lifetime of happiness!
