Crystal Clear Vision 2017

The Crystal Clear Event is unlike any other bridal show I've ever experienced, and I've been honored to be one of the event photographers for the past three years. The event takes place at Mayapalooza, so it's a show within a show. It feels like you're walking through a wedding Pinterest board that came to life. And believe it or not, this gorgeous event takes place on the astro-turf fields at the Virginia Beach Field House! The combined teams of Waterford Event Rentals, Antonia Christianson Events, and BlueSteel Lighting work through the night to transform the fields into a gorgeous bridal show space. It's truly incredible.

Crystal Clear is a tablescape competition from the area's best wedding planners, caterers, and venues, and I couldn't have been given 4 more different tables to photograph! 

ISO:ALT is a blog dedicated to people who push their creativity and create something that's never been done before. So naturally, their table was totally unique! They projected prisms onto their table, which was made up of white and silver elements to allow the rainbow of colors to shine.

Soirees by Lauren designed a beautiful tropical tablescape deep green, pink, and gold. Palm leaves and greenery are very popular right now, so I am sure all of the brides raved about this reception table design! I loved all the unique florals that were incorporated into the centerpiece and the chair decor.

Amy from A Lively Affair loves all things preppy, so this navy chinoiserie tablescape was the perfect choice! I loved the simplicity of the white floral arrangements and the bride and groom accented chair covers were a beautiful touch!

The team at The Spirit of Norfolk couldn't have chosen a more appropriate theme for their table design. The candelabras, pewter teapots, and luxerious old world touches displayed their Beauty & the Beast theme beautifully. Every angle of their table was stunning and I wanted a lot longer than the 15 minutes I had to photograph it!
