I always find interesting to learn how my couples met. Sometimes I have High School sweethearts while other times, I have strangers to happened to meet. From apps to online dating, the gap between people has gotten smaller and smaller. There is no longer the need to wonder if your soul mate is indeed on the other side of the world. Because I am sure you enjoy crazy stories as much as I do, let me tell you how Yvette and Chris met. How they met: Facebook. Yep, and in the most random kind of way. There were in a Church Facebook Group as strangers. So one day, Chris wrote…

Chesapeake Arboretum Engagement | Bailey & Tyler
Bailey & Tyler will be getting married at the Traditions Catering’s Chesapeake Golf Club location on Sunday! As a preferred vendor I always enjoy seeing my couples getting married there. The reception room is beautiful and spacious and the food, let’s say I never say no to it. The soon to be Mr & Mrs had their engagement session in November but we all know blogging is a chore to me and I have to do with a lot of espresso and loads of sugar in my coffee. I feel you should enjoy some of these beautiful pictures from their couple’s session before you get to see their wedding day…

Golden Pleasure House Point Engagement| Jessica and Adam
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…

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.

Nicole + Matt | A Back Bay Engagement Session
Back Bay Engagement Session This Back Bay Engagement Session gave me some of my favorite sun-glares to date! Their Story Matt went blindly to an Admiral’s game without knowing Nicole would be there. The whole “I hate being set up” comes to mind but still proof that sometimes you don’t expect to be set up and it doesn’t matter because life has it for you. When he knew she was the one, his proposal included 11 letters (yes, 11!). Throughout the day, there were letters, a stop at their first date restaurant and a walk to get a “gift card”. A simple excuse to stop by a soothing fountain and…

Akira + Alton : A Virginia Beach Engagement
Virginia Beach Engagement Session Alton + Akira 2016 This Virginia Beach Engagement Session started with a bump… After Alton bumped into Akira, not once but twice, during a friend’s outing. They’ve been inseparable while long distances texting and talking often to learn more about each other. However, Alton knew what he wanted and one day with rose petals on the ground, lit candles, and a huge banner with “Akira, will you marry me?” he asked Akira to be his Forever and of course, she said “Yes!”. They’ll be tying the knot next year at The Oceanaire in Virginia Beach so stay tuned for those gorgeous images.

Scarlett + Dino: A First Landing Park Engagement Session
A First Landing Park Engagement Session Scarlett and Dino 2015 Scarlett & Dino are getting married! Back in November, I was invited to document my first Homecoming. It was cold like no other day, it was crowded and it was super early! I watched Scarlett wait for her love Dino under those conditions. She didn’t care, her excitement was so contagious, I didn’t care either. Then, a couple of months later I received THE email. Yes, Dino had proposed and they wanted me to document their celebration. Of course, I said Yes! Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session at First Landing Park. This time around there…
