Roanoke Downtown Engagement Photography - Amelia & Eddie

Why not dress up and have a night out in downtown Roanoke for your engagement pictures? And if it ends at Texas Tavern that is a plus!

Love is a powerful emotion that can bring two people together, creating a bond that withstands the test of time. For Amelia and Eddie, their love story is one that started with a simple date at Sidecar. Eddie remembers seeing Amelia's infectious smile when she got out of the car. The dinner they had together and the stories they shared with each other helped to show that they both had similar interests, the chemistry was there.

They share a passion for going for long walks in their neighborhood, drinking a coffee and dreaming about their future. They also share a deep admiration for each other's qualities, which have strengthened their relationship over time.

When I met Travonia & Tim they were both nervous about pictures. Travonia said she wasn’t a huge lover of getting her picture taken and I knew I had to break that for her!

The Penthouse at Center in the Square is their wedding venue and they really wanted to include it in their engagement session as well. After the first shots I knew we were going to have a blast and I felt them both relaxing more and more in front of my camera, allowing me to see their true personalities come through.

When I think about crazy in love, I immediately think of Kate & Evan! There is this positive energy coming from them and irradiating all around, you can feel the love in the air from miles away!

Evan and Kate’s first date was at a local restaurant in Salem, Va, the town where they grew up. They were both so nervous, they tore the straw wrappers into million little pieces. They ended up talking about anything and everything. Lots of laughing especially when they both ordered from the kid’s menu!

“We can all get knocked down and bad things can happen to anybody, no matter how high they might be riding at the time.” Cameron

“Thinking back at my life changing experience, I don't know how I would have survived it without him.” Erika

Getting to know who my couples are, goes way beyond knowing how they met and how he proposed. It is part of a process that goes way deeper. It’s about building a relationship, a trust. Only then they can truly feel comfortable during their engagement sessions and in front of my camera.
