We all held our breath when the forecast for this week did not look promising weather-wise, but sure enough, the sky gods smiled upon us and we were blessed with some soft light for their engagement session.

This couple wanted something rustic and outdoors for their engagement session, I recommended 48 Fields to them as it was a good location that could provide mountains and greenery. Also, since I photograph at this venue so much, I knew all the good spots 🙂

Marjan and Andrew met me at Virginia’s State Arboretum (Blandy Experimental Farm) for their engagement session. This is becoming a new favorite as there is no permit required and the scenery is gorgeous. Not to mention May/June greenery is lovely and soft too which makes it perfect for portraits.

Surrounded by 30 guests, these two said I do and enjoyed a lovely, laid back dinner party. Congratulations, Tori and Jason. Wishing you two the happiest of marriages and welcome to the area!

I would say this wedding was a smashing success all around. Everyone had a wonderful time, especially the bride and groom. I’m going to miss working with these two for sure.

I think I would up a lot to be able to photograph this wedding all over again. It was beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable.

Jen- you were a classic bride. You designed your dress with such elegance that was only suited for you.

I miss working with these two, but so happy they got married and their day was as lovely as they are.

We started near the historic ruins then we went to the waterfront for photos. This is one of my absolute favorite engagement sessions from the year. Holly’s dress from Azazie gave me all the heart eyes and was the perfect pop to the green background.
