When I look out the window and see all the snow on the ground, it’s hard to believe that less than a week ago I was enjoying a nice 60 degree afternoon on the beach with these two! Gotta love that VA weather! Scheduling a beach engagement session in January may be a little risky, but we really lucked out with a gorgeous day!

Joyful bubbly couples are what I live for in this business! Being engaged is such an exciting period of a couple’s journey to marriage and so it should be full of excitement along the way! I love those brides where every correspondence is filled with a ‘Yay I’m so excited!’ or a ‘Can’t wait!’. So I knew that I would have a blast with Alexis and Ben when I finally got to meet them at their engagement session last week! When I meet these couples for the first time and see their eyes light up in excitement that their engagement session has finally arrived, it reminds me how lucky I am to be able to be a part of this journey for so many sweet couples like Alexis and Ben!

Alexis and Ben remind me so much of Branden and I at this point in our lives. We started dating in high school, got engaged our senior year of college and got married a few months after graduation. Alexis and Ben also met in high school, then Alexis followed Ben to Auburn University and they’ll be getting married next year after they graduate! I had such a great time getting to know them during their engagement session last week and can’t wait to continue along with them on this exciting journey!  This is definitely one of my favorite places to shoot in Virginia Beach! So stunning and the light is always amazing!
