It’s been a few weeks since I’ve dusted off my camera for a shoot, so getting to photograph Stephanie and Bob’s engagement session was a great cure for that ‘itch’! Stephanie and Bob just recently got engaged, but Bob is leaving for deployment in a few short weeks, so they didn’t waste any time scheduling their engagement session! I always love when engagement sessions take place just a few weeks (or sometimes days!) after the actual engagement, because they are both still just so tickled and excited to be engaged!

We met up with Stephanie and Bob on a chilly, but beautiful winter afternoon at Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield. We had never met them before, so we had plenty of small talk about how the met, where they grew up, etc. It was then that we discovered that Bob actually went to the same high school as us AND he graduated just a year below me. Oops! Now I feel bad for not recognizing him! haha! AND they both went to (and met at!) JMU! I guess you could say it was meant to be!

Stephanie and Bob are just too sweet and totally rocked their engagement session, in spite of the cold! This season of life has been such a whirlwind for them as they just got engaged and now Bob is about to head out for deployment. I am so honored that I could capture the excitement between this sweet newly engaged couple as they enter into this new phase of their lives together! Wishing Bob a speedy and safe return home to his bride!  Now that’s a woman in love!  The way they look at each other! So sweet!
