Are you looking to capture unique engagement photos that reflect your love story? Engagement sessions are more than just a prelude to the big day; they are an opportunity for couples to celebrate their love in a way that’s meaningful to them. Why not make your engagement session a memorable date at your favorite spot in downtown Roanoke?
Old Town Alexandria is a charming and historic backdrop for engagement photos and I had the pleasure of capturing the love story of Keren & Adam in this picturesque setting. Their engagement session was a delightful blend of local flavor, romance and timeless scenery.
Our adventure started at Jeni’s Ice Cream, a favorite spot for Keren & Adam. It was the perfect way to kick off their engagement session. We indulged in their famous flavors, and the joy on their faces was infectious. The cozy atmosphere of the parlor provided a candid setting for some sweet and spontaneous shots and the relaxed ambiance set a playful tome for the rest of the day.
Searching for a wedding photographer is not an easy task. There are so many good photographers out there that you just keep scrolling and filling out inquiries, waiting for a sign or something that says, “this is the one”.
Sometimes there is a silence after the initial contact, couples get overwhelmed by all the new information they are receiving or they just get busy with wedding planning on top of their normal busy lives. This is what happened with Hannah & Richard.
I don’t always reach out after the first contact, but for some reason I did with them and man, was it worth it…
They were moving at the time and I remember during our zoom call that they looked tired and overwhelmed, so I told them to reach out when they were settled. Finally, less than a month before their wedding day, we shot their engagement session and it is one of the most fun and energetic sessions I have shot so far!
We were on our zoom call with snacks and wine deciding what would be best for their engagement session. Typically we talk about what my couples like to do together so that each session is customized and unique. First thought was top do them at Rachel’s parent’s house on the lake, but then we talked how the wedding was going to be there and it would be cool to do something different for their engagement pictures.
While talking about outfits, Rachel says that she had ordered a dress and that she was dying to wear it. She texted me a picture of it and immediately I started thinking urban style, elegant and we kept on throwing ideas out back and forth, until we decided that Georgetown was the perfect spot!
