Colonial Williamsburg Engagement Session | Williamsburg Wedding Photographer | Taylor + Cynthia

Colonial Williamsburg Engagement Session | Williamsburg Wedding Photographer | Taylor + Cynthia

Taylor and Cynthia are one of those couples who is totally relaxed around each other. From the beginning of their engagement session to the end, they were cracking each other up and having a blast - with tons of kisses peppered in between. The amazing thing is that they met less than a year ago, and yet in a few months they're going to be married! As Taylor pursues his dream to go to seminary, Cynthia will be by his side and together they will figure out life.

We met at Bassett Hall in Colonial Williamsburg on a beautiful spring evening, the sun just beginning to set beyond the Capitol Building. These two had me cracking up the whole time! They also brought their sweet yorkipoo Revely, who may have stolen the show just a little bit ;) Just one year old, he brought some fun and spunk to a beautiful night...

Nick and Amber have two big things in common: they are self-professed wine snobs and they love each other deeply! When it came time to plan their wedding day, both agreed that all they wanted was an intimate, low-key ceremony at Saude Creek Vinyards, where the wine is incredible and the views are absolutely stunning.

It's no secret that elopements are some of my favorites to photograph - it is easy to for the bride and groom to relax when the pressure surrounding one 'big day' is at its lowest. At the same time, Amber chose so many elements to make their day both beautiful and memorable. Her rose gold wedding dress was drop dead gorgeous, and her peony and rose-filled bouquet paired perfectly with such an elegant choice...

Spring Colonial Williamsburg Engagement Session | Williamsburg Wedding Photographer | Anthony + Gabby

I have such a strong admiration for military men and women and the loved ones they leave behind when they are deployed. Anthony and Gabby, engaged during the Thanksgiving season, are on the verge of a long deployment as they begin the wedding planning process. Yet they took in the prospect of separation with all smiles knowing, as Anthony pointed out, that the sooner he leaves the sooner he will be able to come back home.

We met one evening in beautiful Colonial Williamsburg, with arching trees and quaint brick buildings lining the streets. Gabby wore the most incredibly colorful jumpsuit to begin, and they both stood out amidst the green and neutral tones of the background. The biggest thing that stuck out about their relationship was her laughter, and how with one word he could make her smile which quickly turned to giggles, a relationship based on sheer love and joy...
