I recently had the opportunity of photographing a super cute couple, Kelly and Grant! I met with Kelly and Grant back in the fall, and was so excited when they signed with me for their July 2011 wedding! But before their wedding, we had to do their engagements of course! And we happened to choose the opposite of what their wedding day will be: a chilly, windy day in Occoquan, VA! Kelly and Grant were super champs for braving it through the frigid temperatures and wind to get some incredible photos! One thing I love about being outside in some chilly air is getting those snuggling photos of a couple. What's more adorable than that? Aside from the snuggling photos, some of my favorites from the day are ones in front of a blue house we found. They both really love Zoolander and had to do their "blue steel" looks in front of the blue house! Ha ha ha! Kelly said she had a hard time portraying her "blue steel" look, and that she could do better, but I both think they did a great job!

Thanks so much to Kelly and Grant for a super fun time, and for also hanging out with me a bit afterward at a local restaurant! We all had lovely meals consisting of mostly potatoes and cheese. And yes, I ate a whole plate of cheese fries. :) Enjoy!

Thanks for looking!

Love,

I met Briean and Casey a few months ago, and I have to say I really loved them straight off the bat! Not only are they a gorgeous couple, but they're just so nice and down to earth. Briean expressed a huge interest in photography and loves planning out a scene with little details in them! We emailed back and forth for quite a while about what we could do with a winter-themed engagement session, and we landed on spending time at an abandoned house in Leesburg. I knew plenty of huge pines lined the property and that we'd have a fun old house to work with too! Between Briean and myself, we brought a blanket, ornaments, a Christmas wreath, and a fun Christmas-colored bouquet! We took a variety of shots so it wasn't too Christmas-y, and I think they turned out beautifully! So, the question is, out of all these winter-themed photos, which is your favorite? I wish we had had some snow for the shoot, but alas...it wasn't in the cards! :D Thanks so much Briean and Casey for being such great sports in the freezing cold temperatures (and wind!) and for making this winter-themed shoot such a success! You rule! Enjoy!

Thanks for looking!
