Golden Pleasure House Point Session | Jessica and Adam Jessica and Adam had their lovely Engagement Session at the Pleasure House Point Park in Virginia Beach. It happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph because of how large it is and the beautiful light you can get in the area. The open spaces is great for creative wide shots just as much as intimate close ups. This is a pretty popular spot to have photos taken in the area but I love it! It doesn’t matter how many other people may be around, it always feel like you are there by yourself. Jessica and Adam…

Munden Point Park Engagement | Kaitlyn and Joe
Munden Point Park Engagement Kaitlyn and Joe This Munden Point Park Engagement is all about Microbiology and what a romantic subject is. Love is everywhere, just like microbiology! Ok, I am kidding. It is about Kaitlyn and Joe who met in Microbiology class. They study buddy together and after that first test, they had their first date. You can say that love is “bios”. Yes, I may indeed pun my way into this blog post and I have no shame. By the way, “bios” means life. *Insert smart smile here* Since then, they’ve watched the sunset on a Washington DC rooftop, have been each other’s career and life supporters and…

Pagoda Norfolk Engagement | Katie and Chris
Pagoda Norfolk Engagement Katie and Chris Katie and Chris are getting married! They were the winners of my Engagement Session Giveaway and I am so happy they won! They are naturals in front of each other and the camera. We did the Pagoda during one of the crazies times of the year in Norfolk. Do you know that little festival they do called Harborfest? Yep, we are brave like that. Fortunately, it wasn’t that crazy in our area and I got to create a lovely Harbofest image my way. There is a lot of smooching coming, so brave yourselves. Can I say the main image is one of my favorites from…

Rudee Inlet Engagement | Ingrid & Juan
Rudee Inlet Engagement Session Ingrid & Juan This Rudee Inlet Engagement was out of the norm. There were guinea pigs and if you know me, you’ll know I love guinea pigs! I was so excited when Ingrid mentioned wanting to integrate these two adorable Cavia porcellus. They were so good! Even with the moody weather. When we arrived to Oceanfront in Virginia Beach, it was hot. That is, extremely hot. Then, all of the sudden, a cold wind came out of nowhere freezing us all. It stayed like that for quite some time during Ingrid and Juan’s engagement session, but you wouldn’t know because they rocked it. Ingrid and Juan…

Norfolk Freemason Engagement | Cassandra and Seth
Norfolk Freemason Engagement Cassandra and Seth Cassandra and Seth decided to have their Norfolk Freemason Engagement close their Ghent home, and I couldn’t have been more happier! The cobblestone streets in Downtown Norfolk are one of my favorites to photograph. You always find little spots of greatness in between the beautiful architecture. As a couple who loves to ride bikes and walk their cutest puppy, Rudy, around Ghent, it just made sense. Cassandra and Seth met in 2015 thanks to Tinder and after a nice first date at No Frill Bar & Grill in Ghent they hit it off. By the end of last year, Seth made if official by taking…

Fort Monroe Engagement | Heather and Ryan
Fort Monroe Engagement Heather and Ryan You will love the cozy feeling in this Fort Monroe Engagement Session! Who cares that is cold when you have couples like Heather and Ryan. When you ask a bride and a groom how their first date went and the answer is “awkward”, as a photographer you get nervous and wonder how their engagement session will go. Once I saw how Ryan and Heather are together, I just fell in love. They laugh out loud, they love and hold on each other, and they are super fun. Heather and Ryan have build a beautiful life together were their son is their world and…

Hampton Engagement Session | Angie + Dave
Hampton Engagement Session This Hampton Engagement Session brings all the joys. Sometimes love is right around the corner and you never realize it. It could be right in front of your eyes but sometimes we miss it. While working in the same building, an seeing each other around, Angie and Dave never spoke. Perhaps a little “Good morning nod” was exchanged but I don’t think they can’t even recall that. Then, Match.com comes to the rescue, and Angie saw Dave’s profile. A simple, “I know you” is what it took for this opportunity to become reality. She knew OF him, and his accent, but not him personally. After a week…

Jamie + Jeff | Anniversary Session | Virginia Beach, Virginia
2016 When you love and love grand, you are certain to have a good time. Jamie & Jeff got married last year in an intimate wedding that included as witness an Incredible Hulk and a My Little Pony’s cake toppers. I so wish I had to be there to photograph it! They are the perfect example of the fate that meets video games, meets having a good time, meets lazy Sundays and best friends to lovers’ journeys. They love their dogs, their nerdy toys and music. One day you may find them touring the country in an RV, probably as I am cheering them on. They are both pretty cool…

Hillary + Matt: Engagement at Chic’s Beach and Bayville Farms Park
2016 Texas girl finds her match! On a cold day in December, Matt asked Hillary to their spot on Chic’s beach. They walked and talked while Hillary clutched to Matt’s warmth. Matt knew this was the moment. He had the ring, he had the words, he had it all. As he got down to one knee and told Hillary of his love, he asked her for a full life of love under a beautiful pink sunset. Of course, she said yes! They have gone to romantic pizza and wine dates walks on the beach and spontaneous trips to see their favorite Red Sox games. They are loving, supportive, and fun…

Leah + Chris: Couple’s sunset session
Leah and Chris are a joy to photograph! 2016 Leah and Chris had a quick sunset session last month. They are married and high school sweethearts and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to photograph. It was between raining and not and we got so lucky because it cleared up and the sun and sunset were amazing. I’ve been wanting to create the last three images from this session for a long time and I am so happy Leah and Chris were so willing! Enjoy. Location: Lynnhaven Pier in Virginia Beach

Lindley + Jacques: A Fort Monroe Engagement
2015 You may be like, “wait, I know this couple!”. And yes, yes you do. Lindley & Jacques had an overcast, rainy Downtown Norfolk Engagement session last November.

Lindley + Jacques: Downtown Norfolk Engagement
2014 I love seeing Lindley and Jacques smile. I do, I do! They are super fun and well, “hello gorgeous legs”! (Sorry Jacques, you were wearing jeans so I can’t comment on that). This was a very cloudy day. No sun to be found anywhere, yet the colors were so rich, beautiful and romantic. The rain was following us and I was so in the moment that didn’t realize it rained in the last couple of images until I had shot the last one. Then it poured! Sadly I was already in my car but I secretly wished I would have stayed a little longer. Lindley and Jacques got wet…

Megan + Jeff: Engaged! | First Landing State Park Engagement
2014 There are some sessions when everything is perfect. The lighting, the view, crowd, and weather simply works for us. The day Megan & Jeff were finally able to have their engagement sessions after two reschedules thanks to the rainy days, was indeed perfect. Megan & Jeff went to the boat ramp first thinking that’s where I was waiting for them, which worked great because I’ve been wanting to do a couple’s or maternity sessions there for a long time. I was so happy when they agreed to stop by there for some Wedding timeline talk and a couple of quiet shots. We started in First Landing State Park for…
