When I last saw Susie and JP, it was freezing. I had a camera, they ditched their coats, and we had fun all over Old Town shooting their engagement session. It was so cold, though, that I really wanted to give them another opportunity to do their engagement session in warmer weather! But I also wanted to give them some new places… here are my favorites from their second engagement session!
I really love the odd composition in these:
Last Saturday I had a great time working with Caressa and DJ to do their engagement portraits! Although we went to Old Town Alexandria, I wanted to try out some new locations - including this awesome bright yellow wall! Below are some of their favorites and some of mine. Enjoy!
When I first started emailing with Darlene, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for photography. Brad and I spent a late afternoon with them in Old Town, Alexandria, and had an absolute blast. They look so great together, it was impossible to take a bad picture of them!
It was not hard to get Joe to get back down on one knee. He jumped at the chance! (And check out Darlene’s shoes!)
Laura and Akins were kind enough to reschedule their outdoor engagement portrait session from two weekends ago, when the rain was definitely going to put a damper on our fun. I’d never met them before and I’m not their wedding photographer, so I had no idea what they were going to be like - this session ended up a total blast for both Brad and I as we got to better know these two.
They were a little camera-shy at first, but they got some great laughs out of the way in the beginning, which of course made for great pictures:
Another blue wall special:
You can just sense from how they interact how incredibly in love they are. It’s a quiet, romantic kind of interaction.
Last but not least, this is my favorite. You just CAN’T BEAT the lighting at this hour.
When I first met Rebecca and Ian, I was struck by how funny they both are and how relaxed they were. When they started telling me about their wedding I totally fell head over heels. I knew I wanted to be their photographer! I lucked out and they chose me - so naturally I was totally excited to shoot their engagement portraits this weekend.
I mean, come on, how can you beat these grins:
They kept each other laughing the whole time. We stopped for some ice cream:
I played with some texture on this one:
Seriously, how cute are they?
This garden was really perfect with all of its vibrant colors. I feel like it really matched their personalities so well.
I can’t wait for their wedding - it’ll be a TON of fun and such a treat to photograph. Thanks, Rebecca and Ian, for letting us hang out with you!
