Best of 2016 | Virginia Engagement Photographer

Virginia Engagement Photographer

Today, we are continuing the “Best of 2016” with some of my favorite engagement portraits from this past year! As I was looking through these photos, I could not help but think about all of the fun memories with each of these individuals. We adventured through the ticks, the FREEZING temps as well as the hot, humid and sweaty times, rain, beautiful sunsets, breathtaking views, crowds, splashing waves, risking our lives running in the middle of the highway for some daffodils, early mornings, overly-loving cows (not a bad thing!!), hikes that made us feel out of shape and the tall grass that could have been infested with who knows what! But through all of this, these are memories I will never forget! 🙂

I had a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because I had many favorites from every engagement session! 🙂 So many joyful, enthusiasm, sweet, humbling moments experienced throughout the year together. Thank you, to my dear couples, for an incredible year!!!
