Event Photography – 43rd Annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast

For the 5th year running, we have had the pleasure of photographing the annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast held at the Chesapeake Conference Center. The long-running event has hosted an impressive list of distinguished speakers over the years to include: Roger Staubach, professional football player; Johnny & June Carter Cash, country music legends; Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of Liberty University; John D. Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General; Meadowlark Lemon, former Harlem Globetrotter; Pat Robertson, Founder of The Christian Broadcasting Network and Regent University; and J. Randy Forbes, U.S. Congressman and founder of the bi-partisan Congressional Prayer Caucus. Every year the Breakfast is attended by many elected officials from across Hampton Roads including members of Congress, state senators, and delegates, sheriffs and chiefs of police and fire departments as well as uniformed service members.

This year’s keynote speaker was Megan Alexander. She is an Emmy nominated national correspondent for the syndicated newsmagazine show “Inside Edition”, she has been with the show for a decade, and a frequent on CNN, The Wendy Williams show, Fox News and more … AND she is an outspoken believer. Megan also covered Thursday NightFootball on CBS as a special correspondent for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Megan got her start in radio and one of her first jobs was hosting a Teen Bible study video series for Lifeway called “FUEL”. She has announced the Dove Awards and hosted the Inspirational Country Music Awards. Megan recently wrote the book “Faith in the spotlight – thriving in your career while staying true to your beliefs” (Howard Books, Simon & Schuster). It’s a practical guidebook for young women and men who want to pursue big careers and dreams but also honor their faith in the secular world. In the book, Megan shares personal stories from her own experiences and career, as well as insight from other big names in the Entertainment, Fashion, Business and Sports world. After the event, Megan hosted a book signing for the attendees.
