Walter + Adrienne | Engaged

Old Town Alexandria Engagement Shoot

October 31, 2011

It was

a busy day in Old Town Alexandria where these two met me for their engagement session. As we walked through the busy streets, we talked about the wedding (which is happening THIS Saturday!) and I got to know Walter and Adrienne a little bit. Sometimes when couples are cutting it close with their engagement session, they opt out of it because they just have too much to do right before their big day and that is totally understandable! However, I’m SO thankful that Walt and Adrienne made this shoot happen because it was WONDERFUL…from beginning to end!

This shoot

should be titled ”THE ULTIMATE FALL ENGAGEMENT SESSION” because the leaves are incredibly BRIGHT! Orange, Yellow, Red… this session has it all! Deep Run Park treated us well! As I was driving over to their session, the sunlight was starting to turn “golden” and I secretly wished that Katie was wearing dark purple! The combination of dark purple and fall leaves is AMAZING and guess what… she was wearing purple! YESSSS!!! I’m sure it seemed strange how excited I was that she was wearing this certain color but I just knew how bright and colorful their images were going to be!!!

You should

know by now that I love shooting friend’s weddings. I really do. Is it hard to work and still have time to say hi to people? Yes… but it’s so worth it. I get to be a part of one of the biggest days in my friend’s life and that’s an HONOR! Evelyn has been a part of my life since college….well… not really. Technically she has been apart of my life since MIDDLE SCHOOL. Let me explain. When Michael and I were in Middle School, he was like the older brother I never had and we picked on each other constantly. Our families were really close, we did EVERYTHING together and so we really felt like we were siblings. Our moms decided that during our middle school years, we should be a part of this traveling show choir

This is

the FASTEST wedding wednesday I’ve ever posted in my LIFE. I am literally in the middle of blow drying my hair and finishing a presentation! I’m taking 4 of our girls to visit CNU and then I have the opportunity to speak and answer questions for CNU’s digital photography class! I’m excited!!!… But running out of time! And if you’re a fall bride that is excited and running out of time… this pumpkin monogrom DIY project is a GREAT way to decorate an entry way, the top of the bar, centerpieces, etc! It’s easy, crafty, and CHEAP. It costs me $4 for the pumpkin and $1.25 for a set of silver thumbtacks! Simply draw your

October 25, 2011

We headed

towards Ashland and I was convinced that the light rain was just going to pass us by. I mean, it always does. Most of the time it’s a quick shower and then the skys clear up. Well this was not the case last Wednesday! Erinn and her sister Mallory joined me for what turned out to be the RAINIEST session I’ve ever shot! However, it was still fabulous because we made it work and made a ton of memories along the way. Mallory thought she was coming to be the comic relief and make Erinn laugh… but really, she ended up being our umbrella carrier and lens keeper. We literally couldn’t have done this without her!
