The Mill at Fine Creek | Richmond VA Engagement Photographers | Sarah & Ryan Engaged!

It was so great to photograph Sarah & Ryan, this was one of the first good weather photo session days that I’ve had so far this year, and even though the wind may have kicked up a little with a bit of a chill it was a great session none the less. Deciding to shoot their engagement session at The Mill at Fine Creek, we were going for a very outdoorsy/natural engagement and I love that they were willing to get a little messy with the donuts for the shoot! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this year at the same spot! Here are a few of my favorites from the day as well as their engagement story in their own words.

“Sarah is obsessed with Breakfast At Tiffany. It was our 3rd year anniversary. Ryan made reservations at our favorite restaurant P.F. Changs. He pretended to get a phone call that our reservations got pushed back. To kill time he wanted to go into Tiffany & Co. It was probably the one and only time Sarah didn’t want to go into her favorite store. He finally got her to go in and take a look around. When walking past the engagement ring section, Sarah noticed a sign in the display case that said “Sarah will you marry me?” At first, she thought it was a coincidence and as she turned to point it out to Ryan she noticed he was on one knee with the ring in hand. Suddenly, there were flashes of photographers, champagne being poured into flutes by the store manager for us, and an entire store of people cheering!”

It’s The Little Things

It was so crazy to see our 34 week sonogram today It feels like it has taken quite a bit to bit to get to this point and we’re so close to the end. Arms, legs, heart all very healthy and amidst the moving black and white shapes we saw our daughter staring back at us, but the most curious thing of all was without a shadow of a doubt she had Kristy’s nose. I can’t believe how much she’s grown already up to 5 lbs, it looks like Kristy swallowed a watermelon! Lets just hope that she has more of her mother’s looks and brains than that of her father.

Getting Those Last Photo Sessions In

365_blog_097

As we get closer and closer to the due date (under 2 months!) I am suddenly hit with the realization that I don’t have nearly enough photos of Kristy pregnant as we thought we would have! So every free day that we have off I’m doing everything with in my power to get some photos of her, 99% of which are being shot on film (so unfortunately I don’t have much to show for it today). However, when all is said and done we’ll have enough to make a very large beautiful photo book to enjoy for years. But until then I need to get my shoots in while I still can, so off we go!
