Tamera + Stephen: A West Virginia Wedding
Saint Albans, West Virginia
Surrounded by family and friends, in the family church, where the bride’s mother works, Tamera and Stephen’s love shown brightly on a hot summer day. The only things brighter and hotter were the pink accents, perfectly fitting for the fun-loving bridal party!
Tamera and Emma (photographer) are lifelong friends, growing up together in Saint Albans, West Virginia. We were thrilled and honored when Tamera and Stephen asked us to be their engagement and wedding photographers. Of all the weddings we have photographed in West Virginia, this was the first to bring us home.
This wedding was so heartwarming, wild, and wonderfully West Virginia.


Our favorite detail: Grandmother’s handkerchief wrapped around the bride’s bouquet.






















Wild and wonderful!

Church: Abney Street Church of God, Saint Albans, West Virginia
Reception: Holiday Inn & Suites, Charleston, West Virginia
We also have to give a shout out to Lori at Hummingbird Studios for being our third shooter on this wedding. She was scheduled to be there, but she stepped up brilliantly when our son had to visit the ER that morning, forcing me into quite the time crunch!
