Let me start this off by saying how much it means to me when my amazing friends send couples my way. It builds an immediate sense of trust. I am so thankful to be blessed by such amazing people. Truly. I loved being able to meet up with these two for a fabulous Richmond engagement session.

When I first met Hannah in a facetime chat, we hit it off. When she described her wedding plans, I just knew I wanted to be a part of it. She is a designer herself and being able to collaborate with other creative people makes my job seem effortless. She had amazing ideas for what she wanted to her and Keith’s session to be and I adore the photos. Keith and Hannah are high school sweethearts and the ease at which they are together is almost mesmerizing. I felt right at home from the moment I knocked on their door for the session. We hopped in the car and went to a few different places around town. We went to the VMFA and then headed over to the tree lined streets of Monument Ave. It could not have been more perfect. I almost didn’t want the session to end. I am beyond excited for their October wedding at Linden Row Inn. I can’t wait to meet their families and friends! Hannah gave me a little insight to what a fun group of people will be at the wedding and I’m looking forward to it.

The best thing about these two gorgeous people is that they have their own vibe of beauty between them, it’s a fun loving confidence and I am so happy I get to photograph them again at their wedding. I love getting to know my couples and connecting with them to really bring out who they are. I always love traveling out to Richmond, it is just a beautiful place. So – here are just a few highlights of our fun afternoon!

I had a beautiful engagement session with Victoria and Christian a couple weeks ago. It’s so awesome to be able to do engagement photos with your wedding photographer, because it helps everyone reach a certain comfort zone. Honestly, I laughed so hard and they were so much fun to be around. It gave me a new sense of understanding how they are together (which is amazing), as well as who they are as people. We got together at West Manor Estate for the beginning of their session and ended up in Downtown Lynchburg. We ran into some of their friends and we had quite a photobomber experience downtown (sorry I don’t have pictures of that because I was trying to escort him out of the frame). They are going to be married this summer and I could not be happier for the two of them. The pictures so perfectly display their love and how much they make each other happy.

When I first got an inquiry from Sarah about photography, she had mentioned she recently relocated to Lynchburg from Charlotte. Well, you know I had to ask and hope that they were Panthers fans… and they are! Being married to one of the most dedicated Carolina Panther fans out there, I knew this was going to be the beginning of a great relationship! Things I learned about Sarah and Brian during their session is that Brian loved making her laugh and smile. They are incredible people, very warm and easy going.  We went to a few locations downtown and ended the evening at Point of Honor. It was a slightly overcast that day and the sun managed to sneak through the clouds just in time for some beautiful back light. I cannot wait to be a part of their wedding and watch them tie the knot in October at West Manor Estates!
