​The weather and light was absolutely perfect on Saturday evening in Williamsburg for an engagement shoot. Kara and Josh are so much fun to be around, and we laughed throughout their entire shoot that started on campus and ended in adjoining Colonial Williamsburg. I love shooting on the campus of William and Mary, mainly because the muted neutrals of the buildings and the abundance of green trees give me my ideal color palette. There are also so many locations to choose from that I am never at a loss for new photo ideas!

I have known these two beautiful people for many years! Connor and I went to the same highschool, and Kait and I went to college together (and I have actually known her family since elementary school!) After heading to Baltimore post graduation, Kaitlyn returned to Virginia Beach a few years ago and she and I recently reconnected. We have been meeting up for coffee dates to work on our businesses together (she's the most incredible writer and owns the communications services company kvh. creative!) and chat about what God has been doing in our lives. Hearing the way she spoke about Connor, I knew the proposal would come eventually, but I just didn't know how soon! On a family trip to Puerto Rico a few months ago, Connor proposed, Kait said yes (!!) and here we are!! I don't think I could have possibly been more excited when they asked me to shoot the wedding! One of the coolest things about my job is how it connects me with people by rekindling old friendships and creating new ones. I'm so thankful!
