Downtown Richmond Engagement – Robby & Laura

Well friends, this time last week I was on my way to Robby and Laura’s downtown Richmond engagement session, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting to share these images ever since!

We had a perfect evening! The weather had just started to cool off from the blistering 90 degrees to fall-like temps and somehow in all its glory, we were left with much of Monument Avenue and the capitol (mostly) to ourselves.  I love when things align just right for a session… especially one I’ve been looking forward to!

The first time we chatted over the phone left me wanting to meet Robby and Laura in real life.  I mean, from the start, when they talked about their life together, their plans, and their friends, they felt so genuine! After spending the entire evening with them last week, I can only continue to confirm that this is true!  I drove away from our session with the biggest smile on my face and so much gratitude for a job that connects me with people as awesome as these two!

One of the things I loved about this session is that we got to explore their new city together.  Robby and Laura just moved to Richmond this past spring, and so they’re both in the throes of making it their home!  I got to hear about the places they’ve been, the places they want to go, and all of the in between.  It was perfect because I feel like all of us were looking at this city with fresh eyes, which was so fun!

Plus, I mean, I don’t think they could be any cuter!  They both have the best smiles, taste in clothing, and most genuine laughs!

Needless to say, their Downtown Richmond Engagement session has only led me to be more excited about their Brittland Manor wedding next year with Social Grace Events!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
