Jamie & Jake are pretty much the coolest people ever. Why? They decided to fly me up to Richmond for their engagement session. I have flown to other locations for weddings, but never for an engagement session. It was so much fun! I loved that I got to shoot in a new location, and also shoot in a place that was so special to these two. They are getting married in just 3 shorts weeks in South Florida, but Richmond is where they have put down roots together and they wanted to document that. I had never been to Richmond before, but it was a beautiful town filled with all of that New England charm that Florida lacks (sigh… if only I could handle snow…).

Jamie & Jake totally rocked their engagement session and gave me a great tour of the city through the session. Later that evening we went to out to dinner, Jamie & I caught a movie and the next day we went shopping. I loved that I really got to know her and I feel like we’ve become good friends. They are both such kind and sweet people and made me feel so welcome and at home with them.

I am so excited for their wedding, I cannot believe its almost here! Jamie is going to make a gorgeous bride and Jake is going to be one handsome groom. See you guys soon!

The Richmond cityscape!

And a little dancing too

The light was just dreamy in this park

Cute :)

Jessica & Bryan are such an incredible couple. With them being my first engagement shoot of 2011, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They were so much fun and so in love, and Jessica was a trooper despite the 50º weather! (yes, she totally rocked her adorable Anthropologie dress and sandals in 50 degrees). But Bryan was always there with a warm hug and a smile. At one point during the session while having been in the shade for I bit I announced “Lets go hug in the sun!” Sure, it was one of my dorkier moments, but I think they got excited at the suggestion ;)

These two work at Universal in the office and their wedding is going to be at the gorgeous Portofino Bay Hotel on 11. 11. 11. Isn’t their wedding date fun? So to in work in where they work, they brought along a clapboard with the details of their wedding for their save-the-date. Too cute! I cannot wait until their wedding day, I had so much fun at their shoot, I know the wedding will be even better!

Here it is! Isn’t it cute?

They brought along popcorn too. Its only appropriate to throw it in the air ;)

Two of my favorites

Jessica’s grandfather had gotten them these cruisers, they were so much fun in the photos!
