Jade and David had an incredibly gorgeous United States Naval Academy wedding.  Jade and David met while she was stationed in Virginia Beach and David was playing for the Virginia Destroyers.  They’ve since moved to Hawaii and planned this wedding in between Jade’s deployments.  Jade and her sister were both graduates from the academy and it was truly a unique day to capture them reminisce their days at the Naval Academy.  One of the largest wedding parties and definitely one of the most cooperative, stunning, and sweet groups I’ve ever had the privilege of photographing.  It seems every event in their life is nothing short of spectacular!
I adore Jade’s version of the proposal:
“David and I were in New York City with a group of our close friends, an annual tradition at Christmas time to celebrate joint birthdays and friendship. We were having Sunday brunch at Bagatelle and all of a sudden the lights went off and bottle service came out with a server being carried like superman in a superman costume. Sparklers were being lit by everyone in the place and i just stood there dancing thinking it was so fun…. all of a sudden the crowd fell silent and my fiancé got on one knee…. sparklers lighting up the room and he did the sweetest proposal in front of our friends. Needless to say it was an amazing day”
