Heather & Darren ~ Country Colonial Williamsburg Engagement Photography

Hi everyone!

I hope you've all been able to stay WARM and dry (and cozy cozy) recently! It's been crazy cold here in Virginia, especially last week. I've been yearning for a school snow day to cross some more photography things off my list, but alas, lots of delays but no closings yet! Send some good vibes my way ;) 

Before it got TOO too cold, Heather and Darren were kind enough to show me around Colonial Williamsburg during their engagement session! I grew up about 45 minutes from there, but I don't recall going too frequently throughout the years. Thankfully Heather did, so she had lots of great location ideas for us! Heather and I know each other through mutual high school friends, and it was such an honor being their engagement photographer. I am so sad that I can't photograph their wedding (reason & news to come in my next blog post!), but I know it's going to be beautiful and so much fun! 

Take a look through the photos -- You can just feel the love between them through seeing their natural interactions and nuzzles :) 

Enjoy!

I love her ring... Closer photos later on down the post!

Playful tickles :) Nothing beats genuine smiles and laughter.

You can see the details of Heather's ring below. So swirly and pretty!

Darren's ring made a guest appearance too ;)

Ahhh I want to take photos like this next one forever. Gorgeous!!

These two are SO CUTE.

Quick change of clothing layers for these next country-fied photos!

(And when I say quick, I mean quick... It was cold!)

And a final little bit of creativity they brought along with them. :)

Battery-powered lights that don't heat up!
I purposefully left these photos a little darker so the lights could POP. :)

If you like these photos, leave the couple some love here or in their Facebook album!

Now that you're in the lovey dovey spirit, be sure to check out Brittany & Patrick's wedding if you missed it!

Also be on the look out for my next post with some exciting and important news. :)


Thank you & love always!

Ally & Matt ~ An Old Town Manassas (& Harry Potter!) Engagement

Oh, what to say about these fun two!! Ally and I met as brand new ESOL teachers at our school this year, and I am thrilled to say three things: 1) We've become friends beyond school, 2) Matt is awesome and perfect for her, and 3) our last day of school is THIS Thursday! Sweet summer, I've been waiting for you.

While getting to know Ally, I've learned that she's interested in unique things and experiences, and I adore that about her! Why stick to the boring norm all the time? One thing in particular that she loves (other than Matt ;) ) is Harry Potter. I'm also pleased to say that we share that love. ;) As you gaze at the cuteness of the couple, look out for the subtle and not-so-subtle Harry Potter references in these engagement photos! I am sooo excited to see how they pull HP into their wedding next summer!

Enjoy these photos from our beautiful Old Town Manassas engagement session. :)

Did I mention they brought wands?!

They are SO CUTE.

Save the Date!

Love the funnies!! :) 

If you haven't paid much attention to Ally's gorgeous ring yet, now's the time to start!

We found these cute hearts on the wall... Perhaps left from a photo session?!

 

I don't remember what odd noise we heard here... but Ally's expression shows it!

You two are adorable. :)

Congratulations, Ally & Matt! I know we have plenty of time before your wedding day rolls around, 

but I'm already excited to see how you put everything together!! :)

Did you like the photos?? Leave Ally & Matt some love!
