It’s always nice when couples can incorporate some of their lives or some of their story into their engagement photos. I particularly enjoy visiting the spots where my couples got engaged and that’s exactly where we went for Amelia and Javier’s engagement session. Barrel Oak Winery, out in Delaplane, VA, was, by far, the most dog-friendly vineyard I have ever seen – the place was “littered” (haha, get it?) with canines. So we mostly ignored them all and soaked up the beautiful countryside.
Dana and Josh are one of the cutest, cuddliest couples I’ve ever photographed. Normally I’m giving dorky cues like “give him a nuzzle” or “put your foreheads together.” I didn’t have to do any of that with these two – they’d just start hugging and kissing and things with hardly any prompting from me! Makes my job so easy.
Well they changed the dates on us about a million times and when the cherry blossoms finally came, they were pretty seriously great – and you have just today left to see them, according to predictions. (My money is that after the rains on Saturday, you’re going to see much more sporadic blooms.) So when Kristin wrote me to bump up her sometime-this-Spring session to this past weekend, I thought it was pretty seriously good timing, considering the cherry blossoms were only going to be around for one weekend! We took those cherry blossoms for a spin.
