David & Britney | A Lynchburg Engagement Session

My baby brother is ENGAGED!!! Ahhh! I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be making this announcement! But... man... I am so excited! We ADORE his fiancé, Britney.... she compliments him in all the right ways! And she has shown such love and dedication to him while he was finding his way these past few years. It’s amazing to see him in such a good place after all he has been through in life!  

They came down to Lynchburg this past weekend to help celebrate my birthday and we squeezed in a quick engagement session while they were here. It was a sunrise session and the only other person who is (ALWAYS) awake in our house at that time is Sunday - and she wanted to come along!! It was so much fun having her there with me, although she definitely tried to take the lead a few times.  

“I gotta a good idea! One of you looks at mama, and then the other looks at me!”

I was cracking up. Monkey see, monkey do, I guess! :) Poor thing gave up after a little while when we all had to ignore her in order to really get the job done... but it was so much fun to have her along with us!  

Congratulations David and Britney!!! We are SO EXCITED for you guys and cannot wait to see where God leads you in the upcoming years!! Your wedding day can’t come soon enough!

When Kimberly reached out to me about photographing her wedding at Sweet Briar College (with the reception at Timberlake Tavern), the first thing she said was “we are having a small, intimate wedding with close friends and family.” Immediately I was eager to hear more! If you have been following my work for a while, you know I LOVE to capture intimate moments so just her use of the word in her initial email set my heart a flutter!

I love Richard & Claire's story. It's one of those that starts... pauses... and starts again. And that again part? It lasts forever.

What a whirlwind! Lauren contacted me less than a month ago and we got together for a yummy lunch and lots of talking about a week later. She is a photographer herself and it is such an honor when another artist with a discerning eye trusts you to capture such an important time in their life!
