Since I recently moved to Charlotte, I was thrilled to be able to do Vanessa & Dillon’s engagement shoot in Virginia Beach while I was in town shooting a wedding the same weekend! They traveled down from Washington D.C. for a day of portrait fun in downtown Norfolk and the beach front. We had so much fun collaborating for weeks before the shoot and I loved getting to know about their personalities and relationship! I knew it was good to be a fun one when we started talking about using mustaches! (see below, teehee). These two have SUCH a fun relationship – so much laughter! Which as you all know, my camera LOVES laughter! The area was a “bit” windy that day. By the time we got to the beach, it felt like a hurricane – no joke! (Especially since we parked in a “wind tunnel” between two hotels!) As you can see from the pics below, we had so much fun in all sorts of different settings/backgrounds! I LOVE the variety and it really shows their personalities! They both REALLY love the beach, so I was really happy that we got to incorporate both type of “scene” and end off at one of their favorite places. Vanessa & Dillon, it was such an honor and pleasure! Thanks for being SO fun and making me feel like an old friend! Enjoy the wedding planning process – and keep laughing together always!! Enjoy <3
Aunt Jeannie - The photos are absolutely beautiful! The thought of my Nessa Bessa growing up and living away from home brings tears to my eyes. However, after viewing these photos and seeing the love between Vanessa and Dillon, I know she’ll be just fine. Thanks for the preview!
Hellen - I suggest adding a facebook like button for the blog!
