We met downtown Alexandria and immediately within the first 5 minutes, I knew this was going to be a good time! The 70 degree weather … the flowers blooming/budding … the magical sunlight … sigh. I’m so thankful spring finally decided to come around! ABOUT TIME! 🙂 I know my spring clients and I have been waiting for this moment and now officially begins the portrait/wedding season! These two are getting MARRIED this fall and I’m so thrilled to be there to document their special day. <3 The intimate love between each other was beautiful to capture. You’ll just have to witness it yourself by the photos below! 🙂
Stephen & Elissa’s Love Story
from Elissa’s point of view
Steve and I met at a wedding in Ohio. We were both in the wedding party but had never met before. We spent the evening dancing and talking. Steve asked for me for my number and not soon after we had out first date. On our first date Steve made an authentic Italian dinner that he had slaved over all day. It was delicious. Fast forward a year and a half to January 19th when Steve made the exact same dinner. It was just as fantastic as it was on our first date. After dinner he put on some music and pulled out a photo book. Page after page was filled with photographs from our adventures told as a fairytale story. As I flipped to one of the last pages I read the words, “Will you marry me?” Steve was on one knee with the most beautiful ring. Through the tears of joy I replied, “Yes!” The final page of the book read, “To be continued…”
Thank you both for a great time around Alexandria! Looking forward to your special day in September!!! xoxo
