Bethany and Michael are the sweetest couple with the most adorable story! They met in second grade and were friends all the way through high school. They parted ways to go to separate colleges, but ended up finding their way back to each other years later and started dating! Exactly one year after their first date Michael returned to the same location with Bethany and asked her to be his wife with her entire family watching! Seriously… so amazing! 

I had so much fun getting to know them during their engagement session last week! I’m so excited for their wedding in May! Congratulations Bethany and Michael!

Then their sweet little girl joined in to let everyone know the big date! She’s a cutie!

 Last weekend I had the privilege of traveling to Richmond to meet up with Becca and Tom for their engagement session! The weather was incredible and the city was just beautiful! Becca and Tom are so sweet and I loved being able to get to know them. I’m so excited for their wedding in August!

After taking some pictures downtown we went to Libby Hill Park which was gorgeous!!! Get ready for some amazing spring colors!

 Kristin and Nolan are such a sweet couple and I’m so glad we got to do their engagement session last week! Kristin and Nolan live in Washington state so we thought we wouldn’t be able to work in a session for them, but we actually decided kind of last minute to try to squeeze one in while they were in town for the holidays! I met them on a chilly morning at Kristin’s parent’s farm in Grottoes. It was cold but this couple came ready to snuggle! Not to mention they brought their adorable pup Dakota with them. I love any session that includes a dog!

I am so in love with this couple and this session! Julie was actually a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot this summer and I was thrilled when she contacted me just months later telling me she was now engaged!!! Julie LOVES Christmas so we decided to start their session at a Christmas tree farm! I met up with Julie and David at Francisco Farms in Staunton. It was windy and a little chilly but this couple made their session so cozy! After the farm, we headed to downtown Staunton to finish things up. I totally fell in love with these guys… and Julie’s laughter is the best! I am so very excited for their wedding next year!

 I love how beautiful the buildings are in downtown Staunton! Also… these guys are like models!

Grace and Dan are such an amazing couple! They started dating while they were in high school… then they went to separate colleges, but that didn’t stop them! They survived a four year long distance relationship. You can really tell by being around them how strong their love is! Dan proposed to Grace on a cross-country road trip last year while they were hiking in Yellowstone National Park. I am SO EXCITED to witness them become husband and wife in April!

We had to reschedule their engagement session once due to rainy weather and I have to say… I’m so glad we did! The color of the leaves the day of their session made me want to jump up and down. The trees were gorgeous!!! 

This engagement session was special for me because I grew up with Lauren! We lived across the street from each other growing up and I was so honored when she contacted me about her wedding next May! We started the session out by including their sweet little boy Tucker. I love how he was a part of their engagement session! Here are some of my favorites… Congratulations Lauren and Nick!

I loved everything about Kimberly and Hunter’s session last weekend! They actually live right down the road from me so we didn’t have to go far to find some very pretty places to take their pictures. The light was so gorgeous but at the end we were racing against the sunset! I loved hearing about how they met and their plans for their wedding next year. I’m also a dog lover… therefore I totally fell for their sweet pup Calvin who sat still for a FEW pictures Enjoy!

Last weekend I met up with Casey and William for their engagement session at William’s family farm in Winchester! After rescheduling a couple of times due to weather I was so glad to get off the interstate and see that there wasn’t a cloud in sight. The farm was incredible… and Casey and William had a list of places for us to go for the session. We started out by the peach and apple trees that had lots of dreamy light pouring through the leaves and then did some by a barn with hay bales and an open field with so many gorgeous locations! These two were a dream to photograph too… you can see their love for each other in these images. I’m crazy excited for their September wedding!
