Boston, New England Wedding Photography

David + Deborah

This post took longer than normal to post because it was like I was posting a full, real wedding!! There are just so many that I LOVE! So several months ago, during the summer, I get an email from David. He asked if there was ANY way I would be interested in flying to Boston to surprise his wife with a portrait session.

Old Town Alexandria Engagement Shoot

Walter + Adrienne | Engaged

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!

Deep Run Park | Richmond Wedding Photographer

Preston + Katie | Engaged

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!!!
