Travis & Megan

Travis & Megan | Bears Den Farm, Marshall Virginia Photographer

I look at my calendar year in disbelief of how fast time is flying by. We are almost half way through 2015 already!? May is my busiest month of this year and will continue to be one of the busiest months as the flowers bloom and everyone wants to celebrate the warmth we all dreamt about during the cold winter season. This month also means one year anniversaries to my couples who got married last May, including this sweet couple! I had the privilege of photographing Travis and Megan again as a mini celebration of their first anniversary. 🙂 CONGRATS!!!

I always enjoy my time with these two because I love how happy Travis makes Megan! It’s obvious in these photos!!! They have a great sense of humor and I’m glad they carry that throughout our time together. By the way, I am convinced that I need to find Megan’s dress! This was the perfect outfit for this garden session! Not to mention, I’m glad that Travis wore a pink to compliment the backdrop. Real men wear pink, right? 🙂 Thanks to the Loch family for allowing us to use your beautiful property for their portraits! Love photographing in your gardens!

Thank you Travis and Megan for coming out to the beautiful Bears Den Farm for your photos! Enjoy some of my personal favorites!!! Congrats on your One Year Anniversary! xoxo!
