“Whitney and Casey went well above and beyond our expectations!

They helped put us at ease in front of the camera, suggesting poses and allowing us to incorporate some of our ideas as well. It was important for me to have professionals with an artistic eye- beyond basic, typical posing- and they delivered! We ended up with so many wonderful posed and spontaneous photos. Truly an excellent value.”

ENGAGED: A Walk at Blue Hour in Richmond’s Museum District

Alli and Whitten were engaged in late March during the Cherry Blossom festival in Washington D.C. We took some time with them in May to celebrate the occasion with a beautiful walk through Richmond’s Museum District.

ENGAGED: A Surprisingly Cozy Summer Session in Richmond’s Forest Hill

The heat in Virginia has been brutal this year, which has made most outdoor activities pretty miserable. Our rule of thumb for most sessions, especially in hot months, is to start early (or late) and take things easy. We headed out early with Whitney and Ian for a mosey through the rocks of the river, followed by some more leisurely walking through Forest Hill Park. These two have such a sweet connection that made even a sticky summer morning look cozy. Here are some of our favorites from our time with them.

PROPOSAL: A Proposal Among the Cherry Blossoms in Washington, D.C.

After weeks of strategizing, Whitten proposed to Alli by the Tidal Basin during D.C.’s Cherry Blossom Festival. They’d agreed they’d wait until after Alli finished med school, which Whitten honored to the letter - he waited only about two weeks after her graduation to pop the question. Just in case, Alli had been conveniently getting her nails done and getting dressed up for every outing for several weeks. Here are some favorite images from our time spent together in their first moments being *affianced.*

How Many Photos Do You Get from a Wedding Photographer?

How many photos do you get? This is a great question to have in mind when looking to book your wedding photographer. Each photographer is different in the way they shoot, edit, and deliver their final images, just as every wedding day is different.
