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.

Engagement session in Old Town Leesburg, Virginia - Katherine & Steve

Katherine & Steve are one of those couples that had to postpone their engagement session and wedding date quite a few times because of Covid.

When we finally got the chance to be out and about again we talked about location and what better place than the town where they met for the first time in person, Leesburg, Virginia.

After meeting on eHarmony, they decided it was time to meet in person hoping that the connection was there just like it was via messages. It took them forever to order an appetizer because they couldn’t stop talking. At one point she asked Steve to stand up so she could take a better look at him and she asked him on a second date before the first one was over!

He immediately knew there was something special so he saved the receipt and gave it to her on their first anniversary!

I first met Adrienne & Ricky at another wedding I shot. Ricky was one of the groomsmen. So when it was time for them to choose a wedding photographer, they knew they had to contact me! Right from our first call we knew we were a match and I couldn’t wait to meet sweet Madison in person!
