There must be something in the water at Tabb High School- it’s hard to believe how many beautiful brides I have had the privilege of photographing that came from our good old Tabb High. Kelsey, Grier, Anne, the list goes on and on. And now sweet Miss Kylee gets added to that list! Kylee was a year below me growing up- our parents still live a few streets away from each other. And now she’s a grown beautiful woman getting married to her best friend!

Kylee and Sam met on a fateful evening at bar while out with friends. I thought that kind of stuff only happened in romantic comedies! She was a sweet southern LSU student and he was an ODU football player. They hit it off right away and never looked back! Sam proposed to Kylee with the most stunning and timeless marquise diamond engagement ring while on the way Sam’s office holiday party. Without even knowing it, Sam had actually picked out a ring that was almost identical to the one the Kylee’s grandfather bought for her grandmother! How sweet! She of course said yes and now they are getting married in a sweet southern affair next Spring!

We met up on an unseasonably pleasant summer afternoon at Yorktown Beach. Mother Nature was really looking out for us that night- it couldn’t have been more beautiful out! Combine that with one of my favorite locations to shoot at (gorgeous scenery and golden light for days!) and a super sweet couple and you’ve got a pretty perfect engagement session! I’ve definitely got a few new all-time favorites from this batch! Just can’t get enough of these guys!! Can’t wait to get them in front of my camera again next year!!
