Anne Stuart grew up running around the fields and beaches of Aberdeen Farm in the back corner of Smithfield. It was a place she loved and knew all throughout her childhood, full of the best memories that will be with her forever. It was only fitting, then, that she and Stephen would take engagement pictures at a place that feels so much like home to her as they look towards their future together, with all the new memories it will bring.
From rocks to a beautiful barn to a secluded beach (we literally saw nobody else there!), Aberdeen Farm is an absolute dream for engagement pictures. The weather was beautiful - we missed the rain that would come the rest of the week! - and the sunlight was absolutely golden. It was the perfect send-off for Stephen and Anne Stuart as they prepared to drive back up to Northern Virginia after a weekend with family during a season of ever-changing travel plans.
Based on the laughter and smiles they shared, I know their wedding at Windsor Castle Park next year will be full of joy and anticipation for their happily ever after. And on the picture side of things, I did something a little different with the sunlight for the very last photo on this blog - keep scrolling to see if you love it as much as I do!
