I love Richard & Claire's story. It's one of those that starts... pauses... and starts again. And that again part? It lasts forever.

Ryan & Dayna | Richmond Wedding Photographer

Oh friends... I have been waiting forever to share this wedding on my blog! I really value the opportunity to have my work published, but being published comes with this little detail called exclusivity... so I have to wait to blog the images until after the publications come out. It's hard to wait, but totally worth it, of course!

Check out the great places Ryan & Dayna's wedding was published since their big day last spring:

There is so much to say about this wedding! Tyler and Jay have the perfect hometown love story. They grew up in neighboring towns (rivaling schools, nonetheless!) and met at a concert. That night Tyler asked Jay for her number and she said "we haven't stopped talking since!" 

Graham & Emily | Ashland Engagement Photographer

Internet, meet Graham & Emily. Emily has been a dear friend of mine for years. We met in college our freshman year at Longwood University (did you know I went to Longwood? Oh yes. And a very influential year of my life, it was!) and have been friends since. When she got engaged this year I was SO excited for her! And of course, extremely honored when she asked me to be her photographer. It was awesome to finally meet Graham when we met up for their engagement session. They were adorably sweet together and made my job a cinch! I love engagement sessions so much because it helps show my clients that having your picture taken "isn't so bad." In fact, it's kind of fun and relaxing. Plus, you get to spend the entire session cuddling and loving on each other! Score! :) Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Isn't Emily as cute as a button?! And Graham, you're not so bad yourself! :) :)

I'm so excited about their wedding this fall!!

Matt & Emily | Richmond Engagement Photographer

Happy Monday! Wedding season is in full swing and I still have some couples I have yet to introduce you to!! Today I am introducing Emily & Matt, high school sweethearts that have been together for over ten years! As soon as we started their engagement session I immediately picked up on how comfortable they were in one another's presence. They felt at home with one another, which I personally find super romantic! We walked around Maymont Park in Richmond just chatting and getting to know each other. Matt makes Emily laugh and her quiet demeanor compliments his relaxed personality perfectly. They were adorable cuddling up to one another during our time together. I am so excited to see these two share their vows in just a few weeks and capture the celebration that follows!
