I was really excited to photograph Deanna and Joe for a number of reasons, but reason number one was because we did the engagement session in my neck-of-the-woods at Riverbend Park! You've probably seen me post on Riverbend Park before. It's a lovely park on the calmer side of the Potomac, just northwest of Great Falls Park. Deanna and Joe really like hiking in Great Falls Park, so I suggested Riverbend as a nice alternative because it's less-traveled and we could find some great spots without a ton of people around. Reason number two that I was excited to photography Deanna and Joe is that they're just the sweetest couple everrrrrrrrr. They have that kind of love that's simple and unspoken. And it's fun to see unfold in photographs! The scenery and lighting was just perfect for what I consider to be a quiet, but emotionally moving shoot. Deanna and Joe would just exchange these looks and touches that made your heart melt. We should only be so lucky to experience these moments ourselves! But I was just so pleased with how the photos turned out, as I really felt the photographs emulated who Deanna and Joe are as a couple.

Thanks for such a beautiful and fun shoot, Deanna and Joe! I hope you enjoy the photos and I can't wait for your wedding next year! :)

Thanks for looking!

Love,

Lisa
