2016 Best of Engagements

I’m so blessed to say that my 2016 was full of a lot of love and joy caught on camera. Not just at weddings, but also at engagement sessions! Engagement sessions are one of my favorite parts of a couple’s wedding photography experience!

More often than not, this is my first time even meeting them! Unlike on a wedding day, the mood and atmosphere is calm and we can take our time on the shoot getting to really know each other in all the moments in between. This is where my clients turn to friends as we talk about their love story, how they met, their dogs, my dogs and everything in between! This is also where they get the opportunity to get warmed up to the camera in a low key, no pressure environment. My couples always arrive at an engagement session so anxious and nervous about posing and not doing a good job, but it never takes long before I can see them really warming up to the camera and letting their personalities shine!

2016 was full of so many wonderful engagement sessions from all over Virginia! From Norfolk to Nova, I got to explore new and familiar places and get to know a lot of amazing new couples! I still can’t believe that this is my job!! I’m so fortunate that these couples are allowing me to live my dream! Here are some highlights of 2016’s engagement sessions!
