Joel & Kayla Engaged! || Lynchburg Wedding & Portrait Photographer

As I'm writing this, the sun is shining (FINALLYYYYYY), it's seriously warm outside (well, hellllllo summertime!!! I've been waiting for you all year!), and my pre-schooler is home and is napping (that NEVER happens anymore) so I started Happy Hour a little early and popped open a bottle of wine that this amazing couple gifted me.  Yes, you heard that right.. they gifted it to me!!!! These two just have the sweetest hearts ever! 

This couple had the best attitudes ever.  We planning on meeting up at Thunder Ridge off the Blue Ridge Parkway on Sunday afternoon, which was a beautiful day.. up until we pulled into the parking lot.  It started POURING. It was dreary and foggy and COLD.  But we took advantage of it and used that fog to our advantage and goodness did it give us some amazing photos!! Then, the sun finally came out, lit up all the fog and we got a glimpse of that stunning view!!

Barrett & Isabelle Engaged || Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

Oh goodness. I am so excited to share these!! Not only because these two are so cute, but because they are so fun!! There are some couples that I meet and laugh through the entire session! That was totally Barrett & Isabelle!!  

I was getting nervous before their engagement session because they drove up from South Carolina for their session and it had been gloomy and rainy all day.  I mean, are you surprised, it's been raining here for what seems like forever lately!!! But, thank goodness- it totally cleared up and turned into a gorgeous evening!! I headed out to Isabelle's parent's house and childhood home, where their wedding is going to be held and was in awe of the gorgeous view!!

Lance & Meaghan: Lynchburg Virginia Proposal Photographer

Guys! Take special note- THIS is how you plan a proposal! :) 

Lance called me while he was planning his proposal! Meaghan was visiting from Florida for the weekend and he wanted to surprise her and propose to her while she was here! He told her to plan for a nice dinner out and then surprised her with a mini-photoshoot! We started out a few minutes of just a few general photos and then we set up THE proposal picture.  

I had Meagan and Lance pose where her back was away from Lance, and during that time he got down on one knee.  

I then had her turn around and oh my goodness she was SO surprised. It was amazing to see all the emotions hit her at once! Surprise, shock, excitement, joy! Oh I loved it so much! 

After Meaghan was able to collect her emotions we had a super fun engagement session! Rivermont Park was in full bloom and it was seriously beautiful! Meaghan & Lance were SO happy together and such a joy to photograph!!

Charlie & Emily Engagement: Lynchburg, VA Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Ugh is anyone else just going absolutely crazy with all this rain?! I mean, don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a good, lazy day snuggling under your warm comfy blankets, drinking coffee and catching up on The Bachelor all day long!! But, let's face it... when you're an adult, it's pretty rare that you get to have days like that. And when you have a 4 year old that will only entertain herself for so long before she wants something to eat, days like that pretty much never happen! haha! 

The Lynchburg weather is always crazy this time of year, 60 degrees one day, snowing the next.  The first time we tried to get together for Charlie & Emily's engagement photos, we got snowed out. Then it snowed the beginning of this week, but everything warmed up a bit and luckily it was a beautiful day... just a little soggy & muddy out.  

These two are complete naturals in front of the camera. They are SO adorable- I would direct them into a general pose and they would snuggle up, and I wouldn't have to tell them to do anything differently, they just would! I love when couples are so happy, they radiate and can laugh with each other and you can tell by being around these two for any amount of time that they are so in love! They are getting married in March and I cannot wait!!!
